Huge KTANE fan here. This game is a great concept for a game that I have high hopes for in the future. I played all 5 levels currently available to me in the demo. Here's a couple of bugs I noticed when playing and feedback I have:

1. When doing the puzzle with the arrows facing different directions the approve button to submit your solution was not functioning properly, (we found a way to get it to accept by spamming the second arrow in the middle with the larger cursor that pops up when hovering in the module)

2. Experienced a couple of lobby joining failures, which were corrected upon opening and closing the game a few times.

3. Sometimes during the same puzzle mentioned in number 1 the solution would be the opposite of what it is supposed to be if that makes sense (plane code adding up to an odd number but not showing correct until the even code is submitted)

I think the complexity of some of the puzzles is painfully easy such as the compass and I think that there could a bit more complexity added to that to make it not just a race to see how quickly you can input the code into the monitor and give the pilot the correct response (for example, maybe add a secondary mechanic to relay to the ATC based on where North is oriented on the actual compass base, and have the code be different for the directions that can be.)

I believe that some of the puzzles are worded in an interesting way, maybe its just my brain having trouble understanding but it took me a few minutes to figure out what the game wanted me to do while playing as an ATC for the "Radar waves" puzzle.

I believe that the booklet for grabbing the codes needed to view the puzzle instructions is a mechanic that does not need to be in the game, (The ATC has multiple monitors on their screen, if you want to keep the code reference mechanic in the game maybe you could use one of those monitors to display a PDF that can be scrolled through to see the codes for each puzzle that can be inputted into the terminal on the other monitor.)

I think this game needs a bit of work but I see what the devs are trying to do and I hope they don't get discouraged by negative demo feedback.
I cannot recommend this game to others at the time as there are a few things that need to be fixed to make the game more playable, however my "Negative" review is only reflecting the game in its current state.
