Hello World by Rahazan

[raw]
made by Rahazan for LD30 (COMPO)
You must ensure communication between worlds does not have exceedingly high packet loss, because how else can we play farmville?

Thank you for playing!

=======
Instructions in-game too
=======

Draw a line between satellites to set the target.
The blue messages go to the blue circle, and the same for other colors.
Check out the .GIF and you will get it.

6 levels, press R to restart level.
You have a limited amount of satellites per level.

Want a challenge? Place only one satellite per level.

Very high quality game!
Radio communication sound has effective for mood.
I want information icon to know who is "Sender" , and UI text is recommend to stay camera relative static position for easy to see.

Very polished! I really like the camera zooming, although might be good for it to auto zoom at the start of a level (was a bit confused on a level before I realized I needed to zoom out to see the other planet!).

Also, the radio chatter audio was a neat idea and really helped the mood!

Great game! Loved the mechanics, very innovative. I agree with the others comments, so I have nothing more to add. Well, the asteroids was so fun and hard. :)

Nice-looking game and a cool idea. I thought it was a bit frustrating that the packets started going immediately and couldn't be paused - I wanted some time to look around and figure out what was going on.

The game is very polished, I really like the mechanics. It could use a pause button and the music could just continue instead of restarting with the beginning of the level when resetting, but otherwise it's pretty much perfect. Love it.

It's like the part in independence day! Check mate! haha
Played really well, and I got quite in to it after a while.
Visuals suit the gameplay very well

Beautifully serene, audio fits perfectly (but did you do the audio yourself, or is it more a JAM entry?)
Really great and enjoyable game!

Nice work, I loved the game mechanic, and the general atmosphere created by the dispatch messages and the music!

Love the parallax, dotted lines with transparency fade. The difficulty curve was nice and there are varying strategies.

You could teach about the data bouncing between satellites earlier. I was overwhelmed on the last level when it's getting destroyed.

The camera could start zoomed out or even make a transition from zoomed out to overview at the start.

Hard as hell, and I love it. One of the best games I've played this LD.

Awesome game! My only complaint is that it needs a longer tutorial. The objective became clear to me in the last level. Other than that, very, very nicely done!

This is one of the most inventive ideas that I've seen thus far. Great job.

Unique and fun game mechanic :)
Also loved the visuals and the moody and calm music.

- Didn't realise I could zoom out at the beginning, so in one of the firsts level I thought I had to intercept signals from outerspace, and send back the others to the source
- Could be nice to pause the level at the beginning, just to have the time to evaluate the situation


Great job anyway, those are just little details
