I stumbled upon a few "oscilloscopeish" games this jam, but this one feels like its the most intuitive yet to me. Simple and fun game loop, was surprised how well the mechanics worked out! And as always big fan of your music!

Very cool! I really like this minimal-yet-polished look, the no-fuss scope and the isometric playing field seemingly hovering in the air really fit the level-based puzzle concept. Clear and to the point!
I found it a bit tedious to scan and re-scan all the fields trying to compare them - I guess there's just a limited amount of fun to be had with this concept, heh. Maybe it would be more intuitive if the treasure distributions followed a more continuous gradient. For example, I often (frustratingly) missed isolated tiles of high-value gems, because I skipped over their cells, as there was not much indication of elevated levels in the general area.

Hey there! This was actually a very polished and fun-to-play entry. I don't even know how it works, but detecting the signals was super intuitive that was a fun time and the duration of the game was just a good amount of time. The minimalistic graphics work and the music was fitting, you can definitely be proud of this, I really enjoyed playing! Good job!
Nice pixel art graphics and cozy atmosphere. Understood the gameplay and controls straight away so that is really good! I got 1230 points, no I if that is good or bad :D Would be nice to have some ranks or something to compare the score against :) Was not too long as well. More content is something to strive for, but I do agree that polish is more important.
Very satisfying and relaxing music, together with neat pixel art it makes a great mood! Really easy to pick it up and play! Great entry! :D
Pretty unique idea! Works well and the game is very polished too, good job! Got to score 1206!
Very cool game! I like the idea, it's very polished and easy to enjoy. Also great music and art. Great job!
A nice simple game đź‘Ť
nice game you made!
What a lovely little game! I love it a lot. I think the basic idea of the game is simple, but lends itself very well, makes great use of the theme, and the execution is amazing. The visuals are cute, the upbeat music is cool (and enjoyable in a loop!). I like the progression in difficulty.
Fun game! and quite polished! I really liked this entry. Music was good too. In my head I kept thinking of different ways to expand on this idea but they would probably get in the way of its simplicity.
A really nice game, it looks nice, has catchy music and solid gameplay; all it needed as a bit of extra constraints so you can't just brute force each level. But overall very good I hope you get enough ratings, it's a really solid entry.
I really like the concept! The art is nice, sound and music calming. Would love if there was some more challenging elements or "enemies" etc, but great work! :D
love this! I got 1202 in the end, but I really enjoyed looking for signals, trying to find the most optimal spots!
I really like how innovative it is, and the nice music and graphics. But it is lacking challenge contrary to a deminer.
I went in expecting a minesweeper variant, but it felt much more like I was just using a metal detector. I like the art, but the game itself wasn't fun for me. The difficulty progression only made the game more and more tedious over time. With the game as it is, it's just really hard to make it enjoyable for longer than a minute or so without changing the core loop.
