This is an entry to MiniJam 149: Ancient, the restriction being "Written in an alien language"

I didn't have time to put how to translate the glyphs in game, so here it is:

Often, symbols made with simillar simple shapes are part of the same word types (verbs, pronouns, etc) or that have some link between them.
You can guess what the level's phrase is about with the drawing under it.
some glyphs are used in pultiple levels
One glyph is a full word
Clue: A dot often represents a person

I don't think I understand how it works. Do you just have to guess what the translation is? How exact do you have to be?

Hey! I've just written instructions on how you can translate the glyphs in the game's description. Hope this helps!
