The graphics and sound in this game are top-notch. Very creative. You certainly have artistic talent. I couldn't figure out exactly how the controls worked, however. It seems that I could make progress just by randomly pressing A and D. Maybe you could clarify the instructions. Still, the concept behind this game is brilliant, and the mood is beautiful. Well done.
A unique experience. The atmosphere is obviously spot on. I find the gameplay loop, and especially the way it’s executed, really interesting. Congratz :)
Cool idea and cool art, either missing instructions or the "tuning" is broken? In my first playthrough I got all the way to the end thinking it played with the mouse :laughing: Second playthrough I actually read the instructions so I could actually direct the signal bubbles, but I didn't really hear any change to the music when doing that. It's definitely not finished, but what's there is a good start and has pretty consistent art. You should add 2 lines of instructions on the page to explain the tuning part though.
Great music and sounds! I really liked that it just started right away! I was a bit confused initially, but I really liked how the intro/game/menu just blended together! I didn't really understand that the game ended, and usually I would say that's a bad thing, but here it just felt worked great with the atmosphere! I think it would be nice with a mute button in the end screen, because the music is stuck looping now when I'm writing this :P
Anyway nice game!
When I started the game, I thought it was supposed to be played with the mouse, so I just kept clicking on the ghosts, haha. Then I realized you could press A and D to manipulate the radio wave, lol. I liked the idea! Congratulations.
If you could rate my game, I would appreciate it.
Loved the atmosphere and soundtrack!
Audio and Mood is this entrys strongest part! The game is a card upgrade shooter and you shoot with radiowaves. I am still not completely sure how to play it correctly or whether I won or died, haha. I felt like ive taken no damage, but its not completely clear without knowing it.
I like the audio and the general art style a lot, with polishing and clear instructions it would be really nice.
I love the eldritch atmosphere! It was a bit too easy though and i never had to press any buttons, just upgrade damage and win :) Nice entry nonetheless!
Interesting game and great ambiance. It's funny, we took a quite similar approach of the theme concerning radio wave and working around the antenna, but you did so in a deeper story, lore wise. Really great to see how a similar thought produced completely different games.
I had some trouble understanding what I was controlling, but as a game jam game, it is a good problem to have when there's only this that pops up first. Congratulation on your release !
Loved the artstyle for this game. Definitely don't see many games like this in a jam and it really helped up the creepy atmosphere
That said, the game was a bit too easy and I never actually had to use A/D to fight off the ghosts. Might've helped if the ghosts were attacking from a larger range of angles with a smaller signal or the radio had to be tuned to a different frequency for each type of ghost
Amazing graphics and audio! I'm not entirely sure what was I doing, but I completed the game so I guess I did a good job lol
Really cool visuals, sound design and atmosphere!
The mood and the audio were really nice, and I loved the overall design! As others mentioned, it would have been helpful to have more instructions, I actually played twice without realizing I could use A and D (lol). It also would have been great to see an end screen of some sort, just to clarify if I reached the only ending or if there was more to discover. Overall, a nice interpretation of the theme with some great grim graphics!
Very cool art-style and coherent mood. I liked that a lot.
At first I was very confused about the what I was doing as a player. The wording made me think I was going to scan frequencies to have improve the music to noise ratio and not at all direct shots with the antenna. But once I figured out the game-play it became very understandable.

Nice entry. Good graphics and audio fit the game.
You game needs more time on the UX, it was hard to understand what to do even with the controls. Also is there another ending than the "I finished what we started, but maybe we shouldn't have" one ? It feels like the bad ending, but I haven't been hit by any ghost I think...
Uncomfortable atmosphere when you hit the ending (at least the one I reached), fit well with your game again.
