Wow! What a hidden gem! At first I was completely lost, but then I realized it was Morse code. It’s such an amazing and creative way to learn Morse code. I absolutely loved the game and really hope people appreciate it for what it is. I can’t believe it doesn’t have more votes and recognition. My congratulations, great game!

I got the general idea of the game, but the sound was terrible :(

I like this. There have been points in my life where I've thought about learning Morse Code and this might have convinced me that it's not as hard as it seems. Very cool idea! It was a little bit strange to have to press the key 5 times each time but maybe there are longer sequences of letters further on and I'm just not good enough at Morse Code to get that far XD

Nice work!

I really like the idea to work with morse code. But I felt kinda lost, as I guess the correct code is shown after an input (which I appreciate, as I am really bad at encoding morse code), but I guess I have to repeat the same letter 5 times? I got a bit confused.

Really cool idea! The graphics could definitly use some improvement - actually , you could have used a black screen and made an audio-only game!

Actually a great idea to have this help with learning morse! This feels like one of the 'learn to type' games from back in the day. I would have loved to get an intro first to new letters, as it was really one life lost for new introductions. Great idea to test some edutainment waters during a jam, I like what you did here!

I felt like pressing the same key for 5 times was a bit weird. But overall the game was alright :thumbsup:

Realized it was Morse Code. Then I realized I didn't know Morse Code. So I had to just pay attention. Maybe I should learn some. Haha. Great rendition of the theme. The slimes were cute! Love the premise. Had fun. Good job.

Kinda confusing but interesting concept. It’s kind of a audio memory game (for those who don’t know Morse code by heart). Not sure why you need to press the same key five times?

I was a bit lost, but the concept of learning morse is neat!

Cool idea for learning morse code, though I wish the game at least showed you some kind of table since not everyone knows it and I had to look it up myself.

had a cheat sheet on my second screen here, pretty cool concept! Got some feedback / questions though:

- Why did I need to press the desired letter 5 times every time? Is that a telegraph thing I don't know about? - What is the purpose of the magenta blob? In the first round its in the center of the screen and then it moves down one spot and stays there for the rest of the game? - The desired letter appears after hitting the wrong one once. That takes away from the fun trying to interpret the code. Maybe that could have been saved for the final try :-)

I never learned morse code so I had to use a online tool to translate the signal I heard to letters. The fact that the letters appeared where nice to check what I've misheard. It's a great concept to build upon, with unlocking the letters one by one and leaning morse code along the way.
