Are we alone? (Sundle Games)

This game is an entry into the 2022 Brackey's Game Jam.  The theme was You're Not Alone.

It's an idle/clicker style simulation game.  You're tasked with building up a lab to search for evidence of the existence of extra-terrestrial life.  It's inspired by the James Webb Space Telescope and the excellent game, Stacklands.

It's meant to be a relaxing game.  Don't worry too much about "winning".

Click on the buy packs (bottom-left of the screen).  This will unpack cards representing objects.  Clicking on these cards will allow you to place their objects in either the lab or the field.  Some objects can only be placed in the lab and vice-a-versa.  Objects can affect the project's income, rate of stars being analysed per day, or just the general mood of the lab (which can affect the previous stats).

NOTE: if you're stuck or just want to experience the game quickly, message me here or at @sundlegames and I will supply you with a cheat code.

Tip: try to hire staff as soon as possible.
