This is definitely one of my favorites, not only do I like the look and feel, but the UI is really cool and this is really a type of game I've always been looking for but haven't yet found to play! bookmarking it now. Hope you keep these up.

Interesting game! I really like the idea, the atmosphere, and the UI. I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to really progress outside of the things near Earth. I had no idea what fwd left right did as signals, or what determined the starting points of the signal emitters. A and D were DEFINITELY necessary, as spam pressing < > was very difficult, and only gave tiny adjustments. I liked the voice acting and some of the early messages, but got to a point to where none of my signals felt like they could travel far enough to make it further than the 2 plants I was near to, and I didn't have enough direction to keep progressing. Some more handholding in the beginning, for slower people like me, would go very far. But great work overall!

Overall it's ok, but there's a lack of sounds.

At first I thought this was a simple game - then I zoomed out and saw how BIG the scope is and how many objects there are in the system. Really cool concept which fits the theme very well. I think the tutorialization could benefit from being a bit more incremental and less text-dumpy.

A very creative approach. But because of that creativity, the controls feel a bit awkward.

Really cool game! I just wish the tutorial were a bit clearer—maybe with step-by-step examples. As it is, it feels more difficult than it actually is. But once you figure it out, it’s not that bad :)

In any case, it’s one of the most memorable games I played during this game jam.

Great game! I love the retro machinery art style! The audio also does great job. The game design is fun and complex. It is a little bit hard to understand even after reading the tutorial carefully. But it's understandable because the mechanic is somewhat complex. Maybe add a more in depth image + text explanation in the description just for now?

Clever idea for signal theme and quite interesting and complex, nice work!

It's great, but it's tricky to get the hang of the game the graphics look cool and the music is coolphoto_2026-04-24_13-09-45.jpg

Game looks great, really feels like using an old device! Was quite hard to get a hang of the game but i really loved to find ways to get my signal across - just not quite as far as i would've liked, couldn't get my mixtape to my beloved :< Overall well made game!

The old retro device was super fun to play around with -- enjoyed the clunky device sound effects, and the bg track is killer! Love the major/minor modulation going on there. Cool idea but I think the gameplay could be slightly more intuitive -- maybe less 'modes'? Maybe they could be consoliated/streamlined somehow. Overall very cool entry!! Device design and soundtrack were my 2 top fave things.
