I find the progression a bit slow. Your pawn take actions in short intervals but they accumulates to a slow progression. But overall I like the idea to control both the enemy and the player using one set of signals! It creates interesting strategies.

Good strategy game. It took me a while to figure out the enemy behavior. But well done!

I don't even know with what I'm impressed more. How you came up with all of these mechanics, or how you managed to implement them in such a short time. This is the best one so far
Wildly cool mechanics. Thank you very much for the pause. She helped me think about my decision. I don't know if it's a bug. But if I changed the action of the gun on a pause, then a glow appeared. I am sure that you can come up with a lot. It would be cool if it was possible to change the direction of the turn on the RMB. You can complicate it, for example, add an allied tower, moving opponents. Walls that collapse or react to signals. In general, very cool!
Woah! Super cool - games like this make me love the theme selection. Never seen anything like it. An absolute joy to figure out - and some truly fantastic sfx and visuals. The wave propagation was soo satisfying. The way the 'corridor of death' puzzle teaches you about signal strength limits? How 'Too Many Signals' just barley works? You are a master of puzzle design.
Exactly the right difficulty and length. Adored this entry.
The fact that the mode-switch sfx tells you what mode you are in - great touch. Great work!

this is absolutely amazing! everything is perfect, cool graphic (especially your post process effect), nice audio and easy but fun mechanics allowing a lot of possibility and dynamic to emerge! i also like your interactive game feel a lot, such as when clicking the cannon the feedback is awesome

This game impressed me so much. I didn't understand its mechanics at first and even thought about dropping it on the second level. But the more levels I played, the more I was having fun. I'm glad that this game rewarded me for patience with complexity like that. Visuals on further levels with so many of towers made my eyes glow. Levels is designed perfectly and solving them was very interesting and difficult. The only problem in this game is its tutorial. Game like that needs better introduction because it really deserves players' attention and wall-of-text tutorial can prevent them from playing this masterpiece!) Remote Tactical Wars broke my brain but in a good way)) all 5s in every category
wow, great entry! unfortunately I didn't pass the 'to many signals' level :P but had a lot of fun! the audio fit really nice, the theme usage is 5/5
I made it to the second level! i think the next step would be upgrading the graphics so that you can see better the direction the cannon is pointing. -J

Very good, I am proud to have made it to the end, despite struggling on the second level!

Such a cool, unique mechanic! I think if the signal spread out across the cells instead of just as a wave, it would be a little easier to get into the rhythm. It turned out really well—the VFX and sound are amazing!

Hi @rafa-fiedo, thanks for your feedback. There was a small bug that made that level be conditional on the timing, which was not intended at all! It's already fixed. =D
@crocidb fixed after submission? ;>

A very cool idea that’s worth digging into deeper. It could become a really deep puzzle game. Right now, some levels feel a bit too brute-force, instead of giving you that “aha!” moment. But even so, the game feels very fresh. Great work, congratulations!
This is uber cool idea. I like chess and to combine them with signals is smart. Also i like how clean and readable the visual is. And the sound is great. Very good puzzle game.
Great!
This is a really well-polished game! Even if I had difficulties to time/plan my actions, I find it very well-balanced!
Good job! :clap:
