A language based puzzle game with assymetrical cooperation

Work together to save your spaceship from imminent disaster!

One player takes on the role of the Ship's Computer, the other players are Crewmembers, recently awoken from cryosleep.

Each round the Ship's Computer will communicate System Reports (true facts about the current board state) and Requests (controls you would like the Crew to change) using their own randomly generated language:

System Reports:
㊈ ɸ ⁂
Requests:
Ʉ 米 ɸ 个
웃 ɸ ‡ ⁂ ‡

However, the translation software is damaged, and the Crewmembers only know what a few of the computer's glyphs mean. They must work together to decipher what they can, and use their limited turns to adjust the controls.

Once all twelve indicator lights turn green, both teams win!

Gameplay Sample

You are a Crewmember, and need to turn the remaining indicator lights green.

You know the following glyphs:

ɸ

Is / Equals

Autopilot

Three

NAV

And you just got the following messages from the Ship's Computer:

System Reports (3)

These are TRUE facts about the current board state (before you make any changes), but aren't necessarily correct.

  • ㊈ ɸ ⁂
  • Ø ɸ 个 个 ɮ
  • Ʉ 米 ɸ ɮ
Requests (3)

These are changes the Ship's Computer wants you to make in order to turn the indicator lights green.

  • Ʉ 米 ɸ 个
  • 웃 ɸ ‡ ⁂ ‡
  • Ʌ ɸ ɮ

Make your changes to the board, and try to get all green lights!
