A really cool idea, one of the most unusual I've seen at this jam. This realistic hand kept me happy throughout the entire game)

Great job with this game! It is fun to play and has a simple puzzle-like concept that keeps you interested!

I didn't manage to get a single one… Matching the frequency is way too hard, and though I tried for long :sweat_smile: Arts are good, and besides the difficulty, the controls are clear and gameplay seems fine

Thanks for including tetris, so stupid people like myself can at least understand one thing about the game :D

Amazing entry! Perfect in all aspects, LOVED the hands, Tetris is an incredibly charming addition, 10/10

Man I loved this game! The signals were super funny! Also I got humiliated playing tetris on stream for our artists. Verdict: goaty!!

Such a cool, fun entry!! Really loved hand animation. Also tetris addition is so fun!

@murena @pt @luka420 @neandi I added the tetris originally because its one of my friends favorite games, and it was meant to be pulled out when sitting in the fast forward chair, I even got a hand recording with a old gameboy. but alas, I just couldn't comp the hand animations in time. Curse these coder hands... I plan on doing it this week and will put it on itch.io after the jam ends.

That was interesting!

I probably should learn more about sine waves to better understand how they add up to a signal, but I got four satellites decrypted before the game made a sharp scratchy sound and crashed. Too bad, I was enjoying some foreign channel playing spice girls.

Cool idea, I at least spent more than healthy amount of time trying to work out these mysterious satellites. If not for the crash, I probably would have tried to complete it all.

Chuckled at the Tetris cameo - definitely unexpected. It was interesting exploring the space and figuring out what everything did and how to move from one post to the next. It almost felt like a faster Myst in the way that you're aiming and then putting the pieces together and then also listening to what they sounded like. Really cool!

Congrats on finishing and thanks again for the rating and feedback on Please Press Button!

Really cool and unusual idea! I loved the hand-with-scanner mechanic - feels super tactile and satisfying, especially with the DOOM-like movement. The whole thing almost turns into a chill stargazing simulator at times

An interesting idea. The only things I felt were a bit lacking were music and optimization, though that’s understandable for a jam. Overall, good work.

fassenberg 2026-04-25 20:56

Honestly, I didn’t quite understand how to play, but thanks for the Tetris!

Don't think I'm smart enough for this game, but it's pretty intriguing. Understandably there's no tutorial given the time constraint, but it would've gone a long way.

limered 2026-04-26 13:21

Really chill game. I like that the earth rotates and you lose the tracking, like in reallife with a telescope or something. The addition of tetris was a nice toutch also. I was playing it and saw the first satellite in the background and the started playing the "real" game. Awesome experience. Thanks

saffwong 2026-04-26 16:41

@soothsayer Yeah, I would say the biggest issue we had at the end was play onboarding.

lollister 2026-04-27 19:55

Seems like a cool idea but a little more explanation would be nice.

enad96 2026-04-28 14:44

Absolutely love the idea haha, perfect fit to the theme.

scottyartt 2026-04-30 07:28

it is a bit hard for me to understand what i need to do, bur overall it has a vibe. Probably tetris is the thing I understand completelly haha

venomousmouse 2026-04-30 08:04

Nice idea, a bit hard to get the satellites, but it's interesting.

sibi 2026-05-01 18:23

Loved figuring it all out and it's surprisingly difficult to reconstruct the waves. Also loved the little tetris minigame, definitely added to the overall mood.

kkritselis 2026-05-03 15:53

I really like the look and concept... some background music would have added a lot to the mood. Nice work!

Great idea! The mechanism is very interesting. The game design is very thoughtful and the gameplay is also quite diverse.
