I'm wondering which version of the fan they're selling. I'd probably be willing to spend a few extra bucks for a quieter experience

Nice! This reminds me a lot of Phobia. I spent countless hours on that game!

I never heard from it before, but it looks wonderful

I learnt this the hard way, after dying miserably moments after exiting the tower for the first time, several times :) Then I got to see some youtube videos where the zombies were almost static and only then I understood it was part of the event. Still I got to play for a while in this mode, until I was smashed to pieces over and over while trying to set the car's traps. Good fun

There, fixed that for you.

More seriously, I haven’t been able to find statistics about monitor sizes.

That would be an interesting addition to the GOL's statistics :)

Would be nice if you can add NixOS to the distro list :) Bonus points if you also display an 'others' bar that groups the outliers that don't fit, so we can get an idea without having to check the full statistics and do the math.

This alpha got me hooked already. I'm a fan of the original UFO, and though I really enjoyed Firaxis' remake, this game seems to go much closer to the roots. For those who might have only seen screenshots, under the hood the mechanics still rely on action points (much like the old TUs), it's just they are more streamlined. The orange/blue zones/bars are just visual hints, but you can do any combination of actions as long as you have points for it, in any order.

There's obviously a lot missing since it's just a taste of the 'battlescape', but it shows a lot of promise.

After having this game in the wishlist for a long time this news pushed me to finally buy it. Man is it fun! I really hope this gives them some well deserved sells, because the game is really good. Thanks for spreading the news, and hats off to Crackshell for doing something novel (and for supporting linux of course) :)
