The amount of mechanics and polish for 72h of work is astonishing. It feels like the Mass Effect scanning mini game but pushed a bit further and I like that you even added geo-stationary satellites for communication purposes. It was also a nice touch to add the tutorial\/onboarding texts to guide the player even if a more step-by-step approach could have helped understand all the concepts cause it can be a bit daunting at first.
