"not my signal" :smile: I thought I'd play for a few seconds, and it's already 2 a.m. Well done! I really like the pace of the game. I wish there could be more structures to build as the universe expands.

Overall, it's a good game. But the music gets old quickly.

I like the gameplay loop, it really does get tricky after a while! The graphics are well made too, they give me vibes of games from the ~2010s - a nice blast from the past.

Nice game, the signals can be a bit tricky at times, but my brain managed to work for once ^^ only critic i have is that the buttons for the position sometimes are confusing or even overlapping each other, which was a bit frustrating at times. Other than that great job

Chill simple game that kept my interest. Well done :)

Nice one. I remember the games we played during breaks at school

Interesting game, but I think the control is a little bit weird. One small suggestion, make the delete option into recycle? I accidentally deleted my booster and the rest of my money can not afford another one so I'm stucked there.

Fun entry. It took me a little while to figure out how it worked but once I did it felt nice to play. The map gradually expanding and more and more paths to try and get the signal too added a nice steady ramp up in difficulty. The art looks great. Well done!

Cool idea and fun game. The satellite was a bit hard to get right but the game still workes

Roger that !

Neat idea! I found that I was mostly just going for the closest spaceship and repeatedly ignoring the farther ones, even after the screen zoomed out a couple times: it would be more challenging if you had to deliver signals simultaneously instead of just taking care of them one at a time.

And yes, the music did start driving me insane... :D

It's a good game for the jam, but you should reconsider the music next time 😅 (no offense)

@pavel-goncharov , @caeonosphere , @mekuire Hey! We'll be replacing the music in the next couple of days! Thanks for your feedback :DDD

At first i heard the music and felt sleepy. Then i saw the softness of planets and casual visual style. And then i understood that every wrongly sent signal takes money from me and i woke up! Very nice looking and cozy game. Good job.

Nice and cozy game! I've enjoed these signal puzzles. Well done!

The game ramps up in difficulty quite quickly, it was hard to keep up with repositioning the signal reflectors and boosters to match the ship colors. Rotating the reflectors also felt a bit tricky under pressure.

Yet the music felt more like a lullaby to me 😄

That said, everything is very well finished and polished, and the visuals look great. Nice work!

Still, music creation isn't my strong suit. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to change the music this time. We'll try to do a better job with the game's sounds next time :D

Excellent setting for signals in outer space, and the graphics and visual design are also very pleasing to the eye. The game seems to have a high level of playability.

I like this. A low stakes chill kind of game that is surprisingly relaxing and really easy to loose hours too. The only suggestion I have is to maybe make some of the colours more starkly different between each over, as some of them I though were one the correct colour when signalling the respective ship but was told it was wrong, Other than that really well executed. Well done.
