Hi,I vibecoded a game where one is lost somewhere in the Milky Way and have to read the sky to get back to Earth.Right now it only uses pulsars and spectrum analysis and is very basic and I am looking for feedback to decide if I should build a full game of this (wormholes, starting from other galaxies, add contraints on energy, time etc). Please let me know if you feel that this is a fun game, what features can I add to this and would you come back tomorrow to play this again? Thank you

Could you build this?
Yes This is a browser game that the author has already vibe-coded at a basic level. Expanding it with more mechanics, galaxies, and UI is standard web game development, and pulsar data is publicly available.
