Gorgeous idea, but the car handling is so confusing that it almost throws you out of the experience. It's hard to repeat the light pattern, when almost all the time you either got hit by a truck or an electricity pole.

It is very hard to keep car on the road. And also it is very hard to understand what game is want from me. When i flashing in response i hear bad signal. I found out that i need to flash when tower doesn't singal to me but i still don't understand what did i make wrong.
The idea and the atmosphere are really cool but i dont understand :(
I really enjoyed it, gets a little difficult keeping track of the signal but I liked the atmosphere and mood
absolutely nailed it with the atmosphere, I like the setting and I love the concept. unfortunately the gameplay is quite frustrating, there's a lot to keep track of and missing any of the signal lights means having to wait for the loop to repeat all over for you to get it again. the pattern length is also a bit long, which compounds the problem by making you wait longer and longer for a second chance.
A really difficult game, but a fun idea. Overall a good little jam game. Well done.
Very innovative game - signalling to the radio tower. The music and vibe of this is great. The minigame is a bit difficult but the updated version definitely helps in that regard. I really like the night time country road aesthetic. !> I wasn't ready for the jump scare of accidently going into the wrong lane and getting hit by a truck
Really great idea that creates an amazing atmosphere. I am also from a rural area, and driving home in the evening really does look exactly like this. I also found it very realistic how the game shows how hard it is to stay on track when you focus on something else, like the radio or something off the road.
I would love to see you continue working on this and add voice acting for the radio hosts, that would create an incredible atmosphere! Congratulations on this great project!
The tower is cool, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get into the signal.
This was a wonderful concept, felt like Simon Says meets Desert Bus! Absolutely stellar vibe with unique gameplay. Well done!
A solid and enjoyable experience overall.
I really liked the vibe, I love driving/roadtrip games.
Interesting idea, and the atmosphere feels really immersive, but I had a hard time figuring out what the game wanted me to do, so it would be nice to include a short tutorial at the beginning
good vibes. i do struggle getting the signaling down. the first round i hit it spot on and then i just couldn't find the right timing again.
Honestly I wasn't any good at this game, but it is so gorgeous and such a vibe. Love it.
Love that solemn yet peaceful feeling of driving alone at night in the desert.
Came here to write a comment like @conduit :) Desert Bus! :rofl: The timing is really tricky!
Good vibe and idea, but I'm not good at minigames haha
This game is hard to play
Not sure if game is endless but I did few rounds and had fun multitasking between trying to get the signal and steering the wheel correctly to not get into crash. Also I think it nicely captures the mood of drive at night, with its music, graphics and white noise. I realized later that you can hear music better if you get 750 on radio perfectly, it's kinda fun to me, that you can manipulate how much noise vs music you wanna hear
