Apr 21 06:19:54 Signal Through the Blizzard ♥ 3 cool short story and very atmospheric game, love the weather effects! At first I didn't understand that the circle around the player is supposed to be a signal where you should go next, it only made sense to me when the player mentioned "the signal is pointing to the right but the tracks are to the left" - a possible improvement would be explaining this concept early in the game
Apr 21 06:39:07 19m 13s Shooting Stars in a Blocky Cosmose! ♥ 2 such a fun and innovative concept! the music reminds me of "animal crossing in space" and it kinda fits the game's vibe, looking for stars to capture!
Apr 21 06:42:32 3m 25s Pidgerton Agency ♥ 5 cute and funny game, awesome that you managed to put quite a few mini games in during the time of the jam!
Apr 21 06:47:40 5m 08s rescue signal ♥ 1 ohhh I love these kinds of mining games, it reminds me a bit of that old flash game called "motherload" :D
Apr 21 06:52:11 4m 31s Call Me ♥ 2 this is such a cool little idea! maybe I'm just bad at puzzle games like these but it took me forever to solve some of the stages, would be nice to include some easier stages with obstacles on smaller maps at first :D
Apr 21 06:58:24 6m 13s Hive and Honey Horticulture ♥ 2 such a cute and cozy game! I especially love how you can change all the colors
Apr 21 07:06:56 8m 32s Cleared To Land ♥ 1 cool simulation/puzzle - having three levels that ramp up in difficulty is a nice touch for a jam game! did you make the music yourself too? it definitely gives me airport vibes :)
Apr 21 07:13:03 6m 07s Foto ♥ 1 I tried finding the first one but how do I take the shot? I don't see any instructions on which key to use to verify the photo location
Apr 21 09:18:14 2h 05m GTC Granny Traffic Control ♥ 3 any game with a granny as the main character is a great game!! ;)
Apr 21 10:49:36 1h 31m DRAW!!! ♥ 0 cool idea and art style! you were right, it does feature a similar mechanic to our game with the rhythm-based quick responses :)
Apr 21 10:52:34 2m 58s GlorpCorp ♥ 3 love the music, sound effects and the concept, very cute game :)
Apr 21 10:54:47 2m 13s LEFT ON RED ♥ 2 very fun game idea! trying to dodge the balls while at the same time trying to respond to a text message is pretty difficult, as I would imagine it to be in real life as well hehe
Apr 21 10:57:35 2m 48s Smoke Diss ♥ 2 very polished game - especially the art style, music and sound effects are great! I also love the take on the theme "signals" being smoke signals to insult each other
Apr 21 10:59:42 2m 07s Grand Theft Alien ♥ 2 interesting idea but I have no idea how I am supposed to figure out the driving rules, are there hints? :D
Apr 21 11:02:14 2m 32s Mama Duck Hero ♥ 1 *quack*
Apr 21 11:04:26 2m 12s The Homing Crows ♥ 1 I kinda get the idea, but I am not sure how exactly I am controlling where they move? Might be good to add instructions, at least in the text description
Apr 21 11:10:10 5m 44s Rescue Signal ♥ 1 I love the art style, it's such a cozy vibe! A suggestion would be to make them move *slightly* faster, I know making them too fast would kill the vibe of the game, but it seems just a little bit too slow for me.
Apr 21 11:15:29 5m 19s Wavelatro ♥ 3 This game is so polished for a jam game, amazing work! I love how you even made the itch page CRT styled to fit the mood of the game :D I'm also a fan of balatro so this game was pretty fun for me!
Apr 21 13:39:05 2h 23m Look, I Made A Thing ♥ 2 sending signals to aliens is such a unique interpretation of the theme! I also love how you can upgrade your tractor in various ways
Apr 21 14:47:02 1h 07m Téloche ♥ 5 very well done graphics and sounds for the videos! probably one of the best takes on the theme I've seen so far :D only thing I would change are the sliders and text, they don't really fit the vibe of the rest of the game. would be cool to be able to directly adjust the antenna by dragging it around
Apr 21 14:54:12 7m 10s Signimal ♥ 1 such a cute game!
Apr 21 15:29:33 35m 21s Operation Alien Translation ♥ 1 very cool art style and idea! I loved the cutscene at the beginning :D
Apr 22 06:31:31 15h 01m Laser Beat ♥ 2 I love how you also incorporated music in the gameplay, I also tried to do something similar with the music in our game :) just something I noticed, the music seems to stop after playing for a while
Apr 22 06:34:58 3m 27s dearest friend ♥ 1 very cool story and art, I love the narration, it adds so much to the atmosphere of the game!
Apr 22 06:39:41 4m 43s Signal Slasher ♥ 1 I like the mechanic of only taking actions when the button is green, it's an interesting concept! I just didn't fully understand when the button turns green, is it time based? It might be good to use music to give a signal when the button turns green, like on every beat, so that it is easier to tell when it will happen.
Apr 22 06:44:42 5m 01s Hold The Signal ♥ 0 I'm actually surprised there are so many "signal tower" games but that there aren't more tower defense games in this jam. At first I didn't realize you have to stay in the circles to increase your signal. I like the idea of having a stronger signal to increase your towers' strength, but I wish the signal mechanic was incorporated more in some way, not just moving to a certain location.
Apr 22 06:50:06 5m 24s Flag Fanatic ♥ 2 ohh I love how you made an edutainment game to learn about actual flag signals. It's definitely difficult if you've never done it before. Might be too much for a jam game, but I think it would be good to add some sort of tutorial in the beginning, where a few flags are introduced with hints on what they mean. For example, you could have it spell out "flag" and put F L A G below the signals, then make another word with these same signals, like "lag". Every time a new letter is introduced, it could show a hint. Always tricky to make an edutainment game simple enough, fun, and still teach you something :)
Apr 22 06:53:41 3m 35s No Signal ♥ 3 the game actually jumpscared me, damn! something I would suggest to add is a gamma configuration at the beginning, it was very difficult to see anything at all for me on my monitor, I think it needs to be calibrated to a point where you can barely see it but still see it well (a lot of dark games do this kind of calibration at the beginning).
Apr 22 06:55:57 2m 16s B.O.B.O ♥ 2 Screenshot 2026-04-22 at 08.55.08.png Not sure what's going on, but I seem to be having an issue with the web build (Chrome on macOS). The buttons don't line up with where I'm pressing either.
Apr 22 06:59:08 3m 11s MEGAHONK ♥ 1 it's just like driving on the highway at peak times in real life! (except for the megahonk hehe) very fun little game!
Apr 22 07:02:53 3m 45s lost in head ♥ 0 very good to have a tutorial video for those people that aren't good at puzzle games (me) :D really love the atmosphere and art style!
Apr 22 07:05:13 2m 20s Read My Signal ♥ 2 such a cute little game, it's fun to try to read their signals and figure out what they need, a bit similar to our idea of reading emotions in people's faces when dating :D
Apr 22 07:08:17 3m 04s Mess It Up! ♥ 1 gameover-screenshot-20260422-090725.png very fun to have the cat move around and destroy things, I wish the cat would move a little bit faster to make it even more chaotic!
Apr 22 07:40:26 32m 09s Finsternis ♥ 4 one of the most polished games I've seen so far here! fun game with great visuals, sound effects and music!
Apr 22 11:08:52 3h 28m WEB DIVER ♥ 1 I love the unique aesthetic of the game. The text messages were very helpful but they are a bit hard to read being blue text on a blue background.
Apr 22 11:12:55 4m 03s Journal of Poisonous Experiment ♥ 2 Very cool seeing all these alien plants, but I am not sure how I am supposed to figure out which tags go where, there is not much feedback on what's correct or not. I am also stuck on the same plant as @alexander-stepanov
Apr 22 11:54:51 41m 56s Effigy of the Sky Lords ♥ 1 I love the art style, I wish it had some music to go with the underwater theme (sad that you ran out of time before you could add some!), but otherwise the atmosphere is perfect! I also like how the characters are talking in animal crossing style. Selkie is my favorite character ;)
Apr 22 12:06:38 11m 47s COPYTHAT ♥ 3 fun idea and as a visual learner it was quite easy for me to pick up the alien language :D I also love the aesthetic of the game PS: does the alien officer say "what you want?" it sounds like that to me
Apr 22 13:23:26 1h 16m Captain Distress ♥ 1 I love the style and mood of this game :) it's a cool puzzle
Apr 22 13:29:52 6m 26s POKER FACE ♥ 1 nice to see you did submit it @t4ran :D love the idea of reading their faces to see if they're bluffing, a bit similar to the concept we went for but in a completely different genre
Apr 22 14:56:14 1h 26m Space Pawn Space Shop ♥ 4 very cute hand-drawn art style!
Apr 22 15:05:54 9m 40s Ship Happens ♥ 6 this is a very polished and fun game! I really enjoyed how well the music, sound effects and art vibed together. I noticed there seems to be an issue sometimes where ships are not docking properly (I think it detects when you drag to the edge of the radius, not inside it), so I sometimes had ships at the dock but not doing anything. I also had a bug once where the ship just kept going and crashed into the island, although I dragged it properly to the circle and it even made the "ding" confirmation sound. Besides these issues it's an amazing game though :)
Apr 23 08:12:34 17h 06m Among Six ♥ 0 cool idea and art style! the tutorial was continuing a bit too fast for me, I wasn't able to finish reading the text before it already went to the next slide, maybe let us manually press to continue
Apr 23 08:26:46 14m 12s Data Routing ♥ 2 very cool idea, I just found it a bit hard to predict where it will go while recording, so it always required some trial and error to get it right
Apr 23 08:51:25 24m 39s DIG_POD ♥ 1 I love games with pixel physics, very well done. just a small suggestion, but when mining you always fall down a little bit and use a tiny bit of health, which is a bit annoying. I know you can just fly up a bit to cancel it out, but it's tedious to do that - might be better to only cause fall damage when falling for longer distances also, this is uncommon for jam games, but for this game I actually felt it was a little bit too easy, especially beating the boss, not a big problem though, the game could always be expanded later :D
Apr 23 09:10:30 19m 05s Broken Jukebox ♥ 1 this is one of the most fun games I've played so far in this jam, I might be biased a bit though because I love games that incorporate music in some way haha Screenshot 2026-04-23 at 11.09.17.png is 30 clubbers the max? I definitely saw some say "I will leave" but I didn't check if they actually did
Apr 24 16:08:09 30h 57m FOREIGN FREQUENCY ♥ 2 I love the UI in combination with the sounds, really makes you feel like you're sitting at an old computer decrypting messages. it would have been even better if the font was rendered in a pixel perfect way, the text was always a bit blurry/hard to read, but maybe that is intentional?
Apr 24 16:21:13 13m 04s Wi-Fix It ♥ 3 very cool graphics and animations, this game feels so polished! I love the win95 aesthetic :)
Apr 24 16:25:01 3m 48s Signal Garden ♥ 1 I like the idea, it's definitely very original and innovative, but it's also very hard. It would have been good to add a couple simple levels at the beginning to get the basic concepts, maybe introduce only a few nodes at once, not all of them at the same time.
Apr 24 16:28:17 3m 16s 灯台の見守り — Lighthouse's Vigil ♥ 2 such a great aesthetic, I love this interpretation of the theme "signal". the game is fun and well polished, graphics are amazing, sounds are great (did you do the voice lines yourself? they are also cute), well done :)
Apr 24 16:33:25 5m 08s Smoke Show ♥ 3 a really interesting way to make a rhythm game (we also made one, nice to see that there are so many rhythm games in this jam, I love it!) and a very innovative interpretation of the theme. it's not that easy to get into, I didn't realize that you have to hold the buttons, at first I thought you have to press them on beat, but once I got the hang of it it was fun :)
Apr 24 16:36:33 3m 08s Criminal Does Not Dream of Wizard Boy Policeman ♥ 1 very interesting idea, it's fun to draw the shapes in different colors. somehow I always wanted to switch lanes with the up/down arrow keys, so maybe that's something that could be added later :)
Apr 24 16:44:27 7m 54s Semaphore Euphoria ♥ 2 fun little game, the in-game tutorial was great, I also love how it was set at a school to make you feel like you're learning before you get into the actual game :D something I disliked was that if I made a mistake I'd still have to finish the level before I could try again, that was a bit frustrating as I sometimes accidentally did something wrong and then it already registered the wrong letter. I would have preferred if it just didn't register and then I had to try again.
Apr 24 16:50:46 6m 19s Harmonic ♥ 1 yay another music game! making the signal with cards is a fun and innovative way to do combat. I especially love that you show the formulas that make up the waveform :)
Apr 25 06:08:13 13h 17m AGENTS RHYTHM & RAID ♥ 0 very interesting to use rhythm sections to decode signals and learn new abilities :) I personally found the attack hitbox a bit weird (maybe it's too small?), I'm glad you added the skip option because sometimes it was way too hard for me haha
Apr 25 06:11:34 3m 21s SOMEONE IS LISTENING ♥ 2 very cool that you made a narrative style game, they are quite rare in jams! and the hand-drawn graphics really add to the horror atmosphere. I generally don't like horror games, but this one was well done :)
