Loved the art and the idea! Cute and simple. Also, having high scores is a nice touch!

Very nice drawings! I really like the graphic style. The background UI with the clock is very fitting. Nice that you added a little slide show in the beginning.
It is cool that the people are making different sounds. It also helped, that you showed what parameter was not right, if you didn't completly matched the signal. Great entry. :)
Loved this! Fun, creative, and the art is great! Knob controls were a bit clunky, but I gotten used to them eventually. Good thing the customers were a patient bunch!
So cool to see the behind the scenes drawings. This game is amazing. Love serving up waveforms to these cuties.
Oh yeah very fun game, I love the idea no timer no stress perfect to do the best sound :D And help on validate wrong signal is a bit difficult to read (too speed) but useful! Good work!
Great game. Love the art style.
The hand-drawn graphics add warmth to the game, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.
Really well executed. I loved the concept. I kind of wish the controls were simpler up and down buttons, the nob dragging felt kind of tough for me to use and I kept clicking the wrong nobs >_<. Some of the patterns I just couldn't figure out though. But the way everything is visualized is really well done. Great job!
I think the worst thing about this game was me. I am bad at these puzzles. So biggest point of critique: get good, me.
Loved the art, physical art put into games is awesome ESPECIALLY on the timeline of a game jam. Character art is super cute. Opening narrative is fantastic and something many jam games aren't able to stretch to, and on a similar note, really solid tutorialization.
So far it's one of the games I've played that most embraces the theme - this is game that cannot work if you remove the signal idea, that's always nice to see!
Online leaderboards are a great touch and another thing it's always fun to see someone get done on the strict timeline.
Thanks for the game!
The artwork is very attractive, it's cool that it was done by hand on paper, I really like this style! Lovely game :)
Wow lovely art and sound design. I like how the customers have a distinct sound but don't necessarily use the sound of the wave they would actually produce (because it would probably sound like ass). Having online highscores is great too.
Even though I also made a game about combining waves the hard customers felt more like trial and error. It works since there's no time pressure, but doesn't feel that satisfying once you get it right. Perhaps I'm stupid but the patterns created by combining waves with arbitrary phase, magnitude, and frequency can be quite chaotic. I suppose that's what the hints are for, but mine didn't seem to converge on the solution.
Great game! The watercolor design is simply beautiful! The game mechanics are clear, I like it.
peak traditional art! nice gameplay
Very nice art, i like how u drew everything! Also a good puzzle. Nice game!
Very fun and polished entry ! i love your game concept, and everything is well explained, congrats
Very nice, cute, and wholesome game. I only managed to beat the Normal difficulty, but that didn’t ruin the experience. Thanks for the game! Cool visuals, pleasant sound - overall, it left me with a very warm feeling.
Sometimes the spinner’s sprite would disappear or glitch out if you spun it too fast.

nice idea! Like it very much :D great that the robots 'emit' the signal which they want to get (I think so haha) Good tutorial, managed to complete the normal difficulty. Great style! Is the hall of frame connected to some server? Nice thing!

I really love this game! I’ve spent a lot of time in Serum, so this really reminds me of a wave generator. I had a lot of fun playing this puzzle game :D
A nice game with cute art! Complex signals were too much for me though :( One thing I'd like to address is that knobs felt a bit unintuitive to scroll, took me a bit to realize that I could simply drag mouse up/down. Also, attaching the modulator to the lower slot always took me a few attempts. It's like USB in a way, you just can't plug it in on the first try :D
Thank you so much for all of the kind words 🌸
@lllarso all of those details were made for ppl like you, tysm
@twaerd I agree with you, the signal hint is probably visible a bit too short :P
@strega we’ve heard some complaints about the knobs and they’re valid. we had a visual idea of it, placement and size was probably not perfect, but we didn’t really have time to test out different options. originally we were actually also gonna have a pitch slider, but that didn’t really fit so well with the gameplay nor on the counter in the game
@skyeward thank you for the play through on stream, was super fun to see, you weren’t even that bad! and for the comments, love that you engage with all the features and thought that went into the game. I felt a solid tutorial was almost necessary for this game since it’s not immediately clear what to do :P
@oxnh you are absolutely right that the actual sound waves sound horrible. the saws/squares are soft-clipped with tanh so they don't sound horrible (they did for a few hours) and peaks normalized and some other things. also about the hard customers, you can do it quite systematically if you do one cassette at a time, if you do both at the same time it is pretty impossible haha. can you believe we first thought of having up to 3 signals mixed?
@kalabhers nice score!! I have never run into the knob sprites glitching out :o I hope it was resettable. glad you liked it :)
@rafa-fiedo really good run, almost on the high scores! and you’re correct, it gets the results from a free convex database
@kr0tyara heard you loud and clear, the knob controls is the most common complaint we’ve gotten haha - and you’re right about the usb, we actually joked we would only make it work half the time, but I guess we kinda achieved it somehow anyway!
Lovely art, great tutorial and introduction to play the game!
Great game. Its a good sine of your skills as a developer. I love the art and the way each wave is actually played. 5-stars
@technicalitycreations hahaha very good one, super appreciate the rating and was fun talking on stream
Heya, thank you for submitting the game to my stream. I had a blast with it! Actually just played it a bit more to get on the leaderboard. 45.3 Easy and 2:02.5 Hard, so close to sub 2minutes but sadly I wasnt blessed with easier patterns in my runs. This game had been my favourite so far, I love the implementation of signal, the intro is super cute, a complete tutorial etc etc etc. Probably my favourite QOL feature are the little tips though when you get it wrong. From start to finish this game is just so lovely and such a smooth experience to play. I really hope you will place high!
@poweranze I loved watching you play, feels like you immediately "got" the game for lack of better words :P really happy you enjoyed it, and thanks for the wonderful comment - and very impressive times, I'd come visit if you were the clerk at The Sound Store for sure
Super fun game! I enjoyed the art and the puzzle elements of matching someones order! Very very good job :)
P.S and thats me on the leaderboard!

tysm for playing @gecko64 and the feedback! solid score as well 👀
These hand-drawn assets are so cute!! Love that you included a photo of the process :) Their puffed cheeks are adorable, I love how you present the story in the beginning of the game, and the texture of slightly crumpled paper adds such a cozy touch. It's such a great way to combine digital and traditional media!
The animations and sounds are adorable too. I am absolutely floored by the visual style, it's just SO good ^v^
And the gameplay is so interesting and unusual too?? And you even did such a great tutorial, too. Together in only three days, wow, it feels so polished and well thought through.
Honestly this is a great cozy game, and it fits the theme super well also :)
My first day on Normal:
taping.jpg
I am afraid I failed on Hard mode, tried a few times but it seems my brain just doesn't compute the patterns of combined waves, I don't really understand why they change the way they change ^^''
buuuut overall this game is so so good! I am glad I found it ^^
really nice game! I love these guys coming in :). The combined signals were very hard for me to solve. Overall a great game!
This is a very strong game! Unique visuals, and bold (and working!) game design choices.
In our submission, I was too scared to play around with adding waves together, thought it would be unintuitive. But with your game, how you guide to the solution, and even suggest tuning two waves independently - it worked perfect for me!
Leaderboard is also a nice touch, although I'm a bit too slow to get on it.
Good job with the game, love it!
thank you so much @kanity for the thoughtful feedback, we really did our best to combine physical and digital art in a way that feels natural. really happy you liked it, and nice score! for the sounds, most of it is just simple recordings of lamp buttons and tape that we found in my apartment :P - I fully agree that the difficulty jump to hard mode is steep, it's hard to reason about how they change when there are two signals activated at once. if you'd like to give it another shot, highly recommend doing one signal at a time!
and tysm @mamboman and @nozomu57 - and nozomu57 I'm glad it worked well for you! in the first few hours we even tried doing 3 waves together, that was wayyyy too much though lol
Great procedural sounds and game feel.
@kayrum thank you sm for the feedback on stream!
