| Apr 25 08:51:26 | Signal Sweep | ♥ 1 | A solid puzzle game with a clear connection to the 'Signal' theme. I liked the concept of the cleaning robot on a space station! To take this to the next level, I’d recommend focusing on 'Quality of Life' features, specifically an undo button. Repeating the same steps after a mistake can pull the player out of the experience. Also, even some basic ambient sound or 'beeps' for the robot would go a long way. Overall, a clean and functional entry. Well done! | |
| Apr 25 09:17:19 | 25m 53s | Mixed Signals | ♥ 0 | Congrats on finishing your first game! That’s a huge milestone. I liked that you created three distinct characters with different responses based on their personalities! My main feedback would be about the presentation: adding some visual or audio cues would help to break up the long pages of text and make the experience more dynamic. |
| Apr 25 09:46:14 | 28m 55s | Unlucky Fields | ♥ 1 | Cool infinite runner and nice work on the parallax effects! The mechanic of random game shifts via the '?' blocks is interesting. For future improvements, I’d suggest looking at the 'pacing.' Sometimes the '?' block takes a long time to appear, making the slow sections feel a bit repetitive. Speeding up the interval or adding more obstacles during those gaps would help. Also, adding even a simple 2-frame run animation for the boy would make the movement feel much more dynamic. |
| May 1 11:41:42 | 145h 55m | Signal The Charge | ♥ 1 | Solid core mechanics! The card-based spawning is intuitive. The game feels a bit too easy because the AI is very predictable. It would be cool if the AI saved up cards to launch a massive 'Charge'. I also noticed some pathfinding bugs on medium level where the Mazard gets distracted by enemies on neighboring lanes and starts walking backward. Adding some upgrades or defensive structures for the castle would add much-needed depth to the gameplay. Great job on getting a working strategy game done for the jam! |
| May 1 12:35:33 | 53m 51s | SCP-███ - Warehouse | ♥ 4 | The atmosphere in this game is incredible! The scale of the warehouse is truly imposing, and you nailed the 'liminal space' vibe. Starting the game with Lacrimosa playing near the entrance was a brilliant and haunting choice—it immediately set a very eerie tone. The scanner mechanic is also well-implemented and makes the search for artifacts quite tense. I’d suggest adding more audio cues to the monsters. Because they are so quiet, they lose some of their scare factor. A very moody and promising SCP entry! |
| May 1 13:08:32 | 32m 59s | Shelter | ♥ 1 | A very literal and solid take on the 'Signal' theme! The military bunker setting and the technical terminology (Azimuth, Altitude, Beamwidth) create a realistic atmosphere for a signal-hunting simulator. However, I found the controls a bit frustrating. The scrolling on the knobs felt unresponsive at times—it felt as if the input was being handled in FixedUpdate instead of Update, which led to missed mouse wheel scrolls. Also, finding two 'No Encryption' signals in a row felt a bit discouraging after the long tuning process. I’d suggest making the tuning faster or adding more immediate feedback to keep the player motivated. Good technical effort! |
| May 1 14:57:27 | 1h 48m | Signal Fish Tank | ♥ 0 | I really loved the Frutiger Aero aesthetic! The glossy visuals and the overall vibe of the fish tank are very nostalgic and pleasant to look at. Buying different items, from coral to sharks and even plastic bottles, is a fun idea for a tycoon-style game. I ran into a physics bug where fish started teleporting outside the tank when it got too crowded. Also, I wasn't quite sure what the purpose of feeding or using the vacuum was—adding some UI hints or a simple tutorial would help! Lastly, I'm curious about the connection to the 'Signal' theme, as it wasn't very clear to me. Great job on the visuals! |
| May 1 15:18:30 | 21m 03s | Beneath The Crust | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed the core gameplay loop! The 'mine, upgrade, repeat' cycle is very satisfying and addictive. Being able to actually control the drill after launching it is a great touch that makes the mining feel more active and fun. The scanner mechanic also fits the 'Signal' theme quite well as you hunt for those hidden treasures. One major issue I encountered was performance. Once an asteroid gets filled with too many treasures, the game starts to lag heavily and eventually froze during a transition to the next level. It looks like a performance bottleneck, possibly due to the number of active objects. With some optimization, this could be a really solid title! Great job on the upgrade system! |
| May 1 15:41:58 | 23m 28s | We Come In Pieces | ♥ 0 | i dont see the link |
| May 1 16:27:57 | 45m 59s | Unpatterned | ♥ 0 | This is a very clever take on the puzzle genre! I loved the meta-mechanic of having to deduce what each symbol means by observing the square's movement. It felt like I was decoding a secret language, which perfectly fits the 'Signal' theme. 'OBEY THE SIGNAL' is a great atmospheric hook for the intro. One suggestion for improvement would be the 'onboarding' or tutorial phase. I initially struggled to realize that the levels must be completed exactly according to the sequence at the top. Providing clearer feedback when the player deviates from the sequence would help avoid confusion. The graphics are quite minimal, but the core logic is very strong. Great job on a unique concept! |
| May 1 17:16:32 | 48m 35s | Downtown Delivery Clown | ♥ 1 | Nice job on the jam! The police AI adds a nice layer of tension to the street crossing. I’d suggest adding a shop where we can spend the money, as it would give the player more motivation to complete tasks. Also, the cars on the vertical road don't seem to stop for red lights, which makes it very risky! Adding some textures to the buildings would also help the visuals. Great start, keep it up! |
| May 1 17:48:22 | 31m 50s | Lost Signal | ♥ 0 | Interesting puzzle-platformer concept! The core mechanic of moving platforms with the mouse while the player is stationary is a clever idea that has a lot of potential for complex puzzles. However, I encountered a few issues that made it difficult to enjoy. Level 2 seemed impossible to finish because there were no movable platforms close enough to the yellow square. Also, the jumping feels a bit too unforgiving—requiring pixel-perfect precision for double jumps can be very frustrating for players. Lastly, the WiFi icon at the end is a neat nod to the 'Signal' theme, but I'd love to see that connection explored deeper in the mechanics. Keep up the work on refining the game feel! |
| May 1 22:00:15 | 4h 11m | Signal Breaker | ♥ 1 | Great interpretation of the theme! Road signs as enemies is a very clever idea. The animations look professional and fit the art style perfectly. Feedback: The game needs more content and sound to feel complete. Currently, the two attacks feel identical, and the ability to skip all fights makes the level feel too short. Adding some obstacles or forcing the player to engage with the 'sign people' would make it much more fun. Overall, a very stylish and creative entry. Well done! |
| May 2 14:24:58 | 16h 24m | Tunnel Vision | ♥ 1 | Great work on 'Tunnel Vision'! I really liked your take on the theme—using the mole's antenna as a signal-based 'wallhack' to locate the eggs is a very clever and intuitive mechanic. The title is also perfect for this setting! I’d suggest looking into the game's balance. Since the mole is faster than the snake and it's easy to hide in dead ends, the tension drops once you figure out the pattern. Adding some environmental obstacles or making the snake faster/more aggressive as you collect more eggs would add a much-needed challenge. It’s a very solid and functional foundation for a stealth game! |
| May 3 08:34:53 | 18h 09m | PING | ♥ 2 | I really liked the minimalist wireframe aesthetic! The 'vector line' style gives the game a cool retro-tech vibe that fits the submarine setting perfectly. The sonar/scanning mechanic is a great way to interpret the 'Signal' theme. My main feedback is regarding the multiplayer mode: I tried to jump in, but the world felt a bit empty and I couldn't find any obstacles or other players. It would be great to have some AI enemies or more visual feedback when scanning in that mode. Also, adding some more detail to the submarine and obstacles while keeping the line-art style could really elevate the look. Great technical effort on trying to implement multiplayer! |
| May 3 15:38:17 | 7h 03m | Rouge Light | ♥ 2 | Great concept for a puzzle game! The progression system is a great way to keep the player motivated. The 'Signal' connection is very direct and works well. My main feedback is regarding the car AI and the restart logic. On Day 3, the traffic jams became permanent soft-locks where cars wouldn't move regardless of the signal. Additionally, losing purchased abilities after a failed attempt feels a bit too harsh and makes it hard to catch up. Fixing the car pathfinding and letting players keep their power-ups on restart would make the experience much smoother. There is a lot of potential here! |
| May 3 16:00:52 | 22m 35s | Cross Roadent | ♥ 1 | Such a fun and quirky concept! Playing as a traffic-controlling rat is definitely original and fits the 'Signal' theme in a very creative way. I liked the 'Satisfaction' meter mechanic and the fact that it recovers over time — it's a good way to give the player some breathing room. However, I found the game to be extremely difficult. Managing 200 cars with just one stopping zone feels a bit overwhelming, especially since the car AI is quite clumsy when trying to overtake. They often crash into each other in ways that are hard to prevent. Adding more control options or refining the cars' pathfinding would make the challenge feel more fair. Great effort on a unique idea! |
| May 3 17:14:06 | 1h 13m | Chaotic Night for the Lighthouse Keeper | ♥ 1 | A very solid and polished arcade entry! Using a lighthouse to guide ships is a perfect fit for the 'Signal' theme. I especially liked the particle effects for the water—even with simple graphics, those small details add a lot of 'juice' and make the movement feel more dynamic. I’d suggest expanding the reward system. While chasing a high score is fun, adding some unlockable ship skins, power-ups, or different map layouts would give the player more long-term goals. The difficulty ramp is quite steep, but it makes for a very intense experience! Great job on the core mechanics. |
