Fun game. THe graphics and sound effects were really good - however I'm not sure how its tied to the theme of Signals at all. I think there was also a lot of reading, maybe could have done with more in game type tutorials to show mechanics rather than explain them. All in all still quite fun though!

A very fun game! I really liked the visuals and the overall cohesion of the art direction—graphics and sound design work great together and complement the gameplay loop nicely. Great job!

Too hard to thinking after work. I'll try later. But gameplay is really fun!

I enjoyed that! Nice level of polish on all fronts. I ... actually don't think I have any feedback. I guess more juice/feedback? But at that point I'm just nitpicking. Congrats on a successful jam!
I like Dungeon keeper! This is well made game, nice job!
where are my gnomws

great story, clear tutorial, great graphics, and you even have cutscenes! wow!
reminded me of the board game "saboteur" .
the game was difficult for me. i couldn't get past level 2. either I was just unlucky with the cards, or i'm doing something wrong... i don't know. i also got upset when i tried to restart level 2 because i ran out of cards, but it kicked me back to level 1. ðŸ˜
and sometimes you come across such structures

@aniretti Yes, unfortunately generation is merciless Т.Т

The game turned out additive! Great job. I've stuck on the 6 lvl cos of the strange pieces positioning. For example it was possible to put here this piece, but then impossible to add next piece to it. But still a good entry!

Interesting idea with some nice visuals and audio. I did find it a bit harsh to be reset to level 1, I never made it past 4 sadly. The layout can be harsh some times D: I'll give this another try later or maybe the patched version :)

Really nice polished entry, really like the cutscenes and the effort of including some sort of a narrative, gameplay was fun. Might be a bit hard to connect to the theme but otherwise great work!

Interesting. i was hooked already at the Intro. Nice sounding/music ´. I must say the gameplay was easy to understand i had troubles coming further with the tiles. But that's on me i was too stupid. :D I will definitely try again. overall well done.

Love me some deckbuilding :-) Was very addictive from the start and very impressive with the procedural level generation. Very impressive entry! Wow just wow

Procedural generation with randomized building pieces are a bit of a gamble. I found myself mercilessly stuck multiple times. I had better success shooting straight for the exit, actually, as I'd spent more on trying to get to lava than I'd gain back from it. I was a bit disappointed to find the restart button is for the whole game, not just the current level.
