man, that's some hardcore morsing

This is absolutely brilliant. The concept is very clever, and the execution is great. Well done!

Hahaha, nice idea! I didn't really figure out how to get the multiplier up and found that lines needed were too long (and dots could be actually pretty long too), you could display what is the symbol the machine is interpreting when doing it so it becomes clearer to the player what he's doing wrong. It was fun to play with this and I actually learned some morse code! * -. .. -.-. .

You lost me at the songs :laughing:

I liked your entry. Also you made it well.

Here it is, something new under the sun!

Found the combo system hard to understand — needed more feedback or guidance on how quickly/long to press for. Very cool idea.

Simple but really cool game! Really well implemented too, it was very easy to learn how to play.

This is certainly an interesting entry. I think I learned something while playing it. I did run into a glitch while playing the abcs where the entire input filled up with white even though I was not pressing space.

A little buggy with when the beep is actually recorded but an interesting concept for a rhythm game for sure! I've never had to curse Edgar Allen Poe for writing such long poems before!

Wow great concept! If there were a little more time I would love to hear this tempo synced to actual music, but I love how sleek this one-button game is. Well done!

Great idea - I was a bit confused with how fast each beat should be, so it was difficult to pick it up.

Thanks for the submission! Enjoyed it alot! A little more feed back would be super :)

An educational game! Love it.

Took me a minute to realize that I *really* need to hold out the dashes for a long time - longer than I was doing intuitively. It might be good to take that length down a bit... or have a section for people to "calibrate" how long the dashes should be held for.

I love your interpretation of the theme was an effort to keep a *language* alive... by making this quirky parody edu-tainment game. Well done :v: :smile:

Funny idea and good take on the theme. I think it'd be great to have a metronome or something ticking as I found the beats between letters/words difficult to keep track of.

gallahron 2020-04-23 18:34

Really cool concept, could have done with a click to tell you when each beat was like a metronome because it was kind of hard to tell where the beats were

arttu-halonen 2020-04-23 18:34

Very cool idea, but I really think you should add some sort of beat in the background to help the player understand the correct rhythm. With a few more tweaks this has potential to become a really cool game!

Clever concept and nailed the telegrapher theme! Very unclear how long to hold the long ones, felt stymied a bit by that. Not sure how to expand the idea, maybe a story on that you're a professional telegrapher in some historical war?

rafael-pontes 2020-04-23 19:53

I like the originality, but I had a really hard time matching the right tempo! Maybe you could add some visual feedback of what the player is really typing. Otherwise, pretty cool challenge!!! I wonder if anyone completed The Raven though! That's a crazy hard one to accomplish!!

Bit confused how the beats and Morse code functions work... Would like a better tutorial.
