Super fun! I love the theme and gameplay! Though it was kind of confusing, that once you succeed in making a logo, correct color, and positioning, what do you do? So it kind of lost me there. But overall super innovative and awesome!!

It was confusing at first to what to do but on the second try i got it. It is a nice game I had fun with it!

akadream 2026-04-21 08:04

The game is fun and innovative overall! It would just need to be polished to improve the game feel to be less rigid.

2026-04-21 15:21

I was a bit confused at first, but the setting is really interesting!

Hilarious concept, loved it, and the art was amazing, though it did make some of the scenery objects hard to read at times. Took a while to figure out what I was supposed to do exactly, but figured it out eventually. Drawing the shapes is difficult without being able to look at it on the same screen but not impossible. Hardest part was figuring out you needed to put the signal on the cloud for me. Overall, nicely done.

ron88 2026-04-21 19:02

Impressive art and audio. I could not get the light and the cloud aligned, I saw that in the video it triggered success very fast but in the game it did not. Overall cool game but could be better explained

japes 2026-04-21 19:16

Great art and music and a super cool idea but unfortunately my cutting skills were just not up to scratch - best i got was 84% of the first shape.

I think being able to actually see the shape (or maybe parts of it) would make the difficulty reasonable. As it is it was just totally beyond me.

But I see other players managed to do it, so maybe that's just me.

janinna21 2026-04-21 19:19

I like the how you positioned each screen and I love the graphics. At first it was confusing, but I managed to figure it out. Position of the clouds is changing way too fast or my speed of moving signal is way too low - this was frustrating especially when I aligned it, but somehow it didn't trigger the winning condition. Overall, fine game.

lizz 2026-04-21 22:20

That is an interesting one! Took me a few tries to get a grip on things, the timer freaking me ooouuuut!

sebastianscaini 2026-04-22 02:13

I really liked having to cut out the logo for the signal, that was a really cool mechanic! I ended with a score of -150 somehow though, is it meant to go negative?

frozenfire92 2026-04-22 02:13

This was totally average (just kidding it was great)! Loved the concept and the cutting out the logo was fun albeit frustrating at times :joy: Great characters and art! Keep on making games

indiepanda 2026-04-22 02:47

This looks amazing! The character designs are top notch!

2026-04-22 08:34

Excellent exploration of the SIGNAL theme, excellent art and narrative, well done. I would have added a drawing so I could trace it instead of drawing it from memory; I'm clumsy.

2026-04-22 11:40

The character design is super charming. I found myself just wanting to see more of them.

flowerfield-games 2026-04-22 11:42

Very fun! Good interpretation of the theme! Good art to. The onboarding is a bit clunky at first but only few try to understand is ok for a jam game. Great job :)

aniretti 2026-04-22 12:23

Gameplay was a bit confusing, so I had to play a few runs to figure it out. Once I figured out the gameplay, it was quite fun and challenging! I had a slight input lag while drawing: as soon as I started drawing a line, the image reset.

Overall, great gameplay, character design, art, music! Good work.

I just have one question for you: why does mixing red and green produce orange? :D

n-o-x 2026-04-22 13:59

@aniretti I've just had a look at the additive colour chart (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_color) and, you're right, it should have been yellow ^_^' Let's just put that down to a lack of sleep, haha

Well done for spotting that

andrian 2026-04-22 15:01

I absolutely loved the theme of this game. In my opinion, it’s one of the most original entries I've seen so far, and it fits the jam's theme perfectly! Even though the game turned out to be quite difficult for me due to my terrible drawing skills, I’ll definitely come back to it once I’ve practiced a bit more. Great job!

psevdonim 2026-04-22 15:38

Quite engaging. You can see solid work was done. A cool, unique design, decent gameplay variety—well done. Screenshot_1.jpg

stepa 2026-04-22 17:01

i love it

fenix131113 2026-04-22 17:03

Very interesting game, i got score 1937

overlix 2026-04-22 17:04

for some reason i can't draw the logo when i start drawing it stop me instantly

n-o-x 2026-04-22 17:09

@overlix You're not quick enough :) I admit the game is a bit too difficult ^^

itero-proto 2026-04-22 17:12

Funny art)

aruseus 2026-04-22 17:12

The mechanics were easy enough to intuit and I liked the theme.

I would've liked some kind of goal or ending (at least I don't think there is one. I only played until getting each hero once).

venomousmouse 2026-04-22 17:22

Great game! I love the art style!

rapidraid 2026-04-22 20:39

Woah this is really cool and very highly polished. I love the artworks and the voiceovers. Very good job!

anku 2026-04-22 20:40

Good art and sound. The gameplay isn’t the easiest to grasp at first, but once you spend a little time with it, it starts to click.

umaiit 2026-04-23 12:33

Love the gameplay and story. Great entry.

matt2728 2026-04-23 12:48

Very impressive project. Took me a minute to understand the drawing, once it clicked, that was cool. I do wonder how you programmed it to match the drawing :D Nice art style. Good humor. Most of all, I like the concept. Gamifying the super hero signal... what a unique idea. Great job, one of my favorites this Jam :)

oeuegha 2026-04-23 13:14

It's not intuitive what the game is asking you to do.

technicalitycreations 2026-04-23 16:35

Great game, and I love the humour, but it could do with a better tutorial

irkar 2026-04-23 18:23

The artwork is cool, and the atmosphere is great, but without a proper tutorial it’s almost impossible to figure it out. I really need a detailed tutorial like for kids:3

jka 2026-04-23 20:28

Great entry! The drawings are really great and the idea of super heroes with lackluster super-powers is very funny. :) Good difficulty balance. I did find the drawing of the logos a bit finicky, but it's very possible I just wasn't doing it correctly. :sweat_smile:

rend 2026-04-24 11:06

That is a truly unique game and quite a clever interpretation of the theme. The art is amazing and you pour a lot of work in the sound design (nice accent on the VA, super fitting theme music and I love the SFX for cutting metal). As others have mentioned the onboarding is a bit abrupt but after a few round it all clicks. The most original entry I've rated so far, good job!

coolpurplerat 2026-04-24 19:32

Very impresive

aster24 2026-04-25 03:00

Excellent art and music, and a cool take on the theme! It took me failing a few times before figuring out the controls (it wasn't immediately clear my designs were insufficient) but once I got it down it was fun!

neshtyak 2026-04-25 10:24

Amazing thing! Idea and realization are great. Sometimes it was hard to locate signal on the cloud and draw the sign correctly (for me it was difficult to draw a sock haha)

clymm 2026-04-25 20:55

Really great art and enjoyed seeing the different scenes. Despite multiple attempts I sadly could not figure out how to get it to win even 1, but i enjoyed the experience :clap:

panduplan 2026-04-26 09:18

Really nice concept and presentation, I like how each screen is set up. The cut out drawing mechanic is very cool yet not really precise sometimes :) Thats a nice bottle sign of mine 12.jpg Art and characters are super charming!

alineo 2026-04-26 15:29

@clymm A lot of people had the same feeling as you, so we added an "How to play" section in the description, I hope it can help :) We're aware the onboarding is the least polished aspect of the game, we ran out of time unfortunately haha

uvwar 2026-04-26 19:00

I missed that there was a left-hand screen to cut shapes at first so I had no idea what I was missing, but a fun, creative idea! Maybe if the 'switch screen' arrows glowed or something I would have noticed them faster.

hulien22 2026-04-26 21:16

Great take on the theme! Really loved all the art and the music!

My only suggestion is that it feels like this game should have an ending, I kept going for a while since I thought there would be an ending but never ended up hitting one.. Alternatively, you could make the game get harder as it goes on (after you get the hang of it and learn all the character signals/colours, the only challenge is getting the signal on the cloud)

Awesome work on this, I had a fun time overall!!

martinfernandezgd 2026-04-26 21:47

The game is really fun. At first I didn't know what to do, until I started switching between screens. After that it became clear, although I feel like it wasn't very forgiving of my drawings haha

pipetto 2026-04-27 13:56

A pretty interesting concept for a game jam. The art is really great—I especially like how you designed your itch.io page.

marcus-otterstrom 2026-05-03 18:01

Great job, happy to see someone else with the same idea, your execution was so much better :smile: Very impressive how much you were able to do in such little time.

deadjolly 2026-05-04 00:38

For some reason the game aesthetic reminds me of the classic Carmen Sandiego games. Music definitely set the tone. The four panel screen was interesting. Took me one full game to even figure out I need to draw the logo, set the color on the projector, and then do the main gameplay of lining up the logo on the middle screen. All of the art was great, props to the illustrator! Ambitious to mix all of the little gameplay elements, but it turned out well!

ao-85 2026-05-06 19:12

Good interpretation of the theme! Good art to. The onboarding is a bit clunky at first but only few try to understand is ok for a jam game.
