Neat idea, I really love the graphics! I encountered a bug when reloading levels where routers don't propagate the signal. Reloading multiple times seems to fix it.

Beautiful concept and art for this puzzle :relaxed:

The bug mentioned above also occurs with the repeaters that need to be placed

Cool concept and great presentation. Unfortunately a bit buggy, which kept me from fully enjoying the game. Would love to come back and give it another go if it gets patched up.

Good puzzle game :3

I encountered the same bugs as the others and had to restart the game several times to make it work. Nice concept though! I like it

zedgame 2026-04-21 19:41

I like the concept a lot! But as the others have mentioned, signals sometimes don't propagate and you have to restart.

Cute and addictive! Good job!

Love the concept. To polish it, an undo option would be great. Maybe adding a preview of the range covered, but the choice not to include it might be intentional.

A pleasant, cozy puzzle game. It’s intuitive and easy to pick up, with solid visuals and audio. The only thing I felt was missing was a bit more variety - for example, different types of routers with different signal shapes.

I really love the concept, I thought there was a bug were the wifi would not connect, but then I realized it's a commentary on the difficulty of getting a wifi connection to work. I also loved the fact that in one of the puzzle, there is a random part of the room that was able to receive the wifi for no reason.

Sadly, one of the level ended up being too frustrating and I couldn't get it to work :( But you should have kept the votes for humour.

Oh well... I guess I'll go out and take some fresh air instead.

Each time i lost the layout wouldnt reset. But loved the graphics

really appealing art style and satisfying to play! i do wish i could undo, or preview the repeater's radius. but super solid jam game i could play all day!

jacky-san 2026-04-21 20:32

Good idea ! :smiley: Was stuck at one of the first stage :sweat_smile: 2026-04-21 22_32_04-Clipboard.png what is wrong with meee :rofl:

Fun! I felt a bit frustrated that each router seemed to behave a bit uniquely. At least if there was a pattern I couldn't detect it. So I ended up placing the routers somewhat randomly until I got connnection.... a bit like real life ;)

croxx 2026-04-21 20:42

The wifi repeater puzzle concept is clean and fits the theme well. Art style is charming too. Hit the same reset bug as everyone else though, router spawning with 0 signal on restart is pretty annoying. An undo button would also go a long way. Good entry overall!

tykki19 2026-04-21 20:44

Surprisingly interesting puzzles! Some issues with initial connectivity tiles when resetting. Good amount of levels! I would hate to have router with 1 range...

saloid 2026-04-21 20:45

I love puzzle games, and this one felt really well-designed and smart in terms of level design. It fits the “Signals” theme nicely. The music is soft and relaxing, and it creates a chill atmosphere that makes thinking through the puzzles really enjoyable.

saloid 2026-04-21 20:47

@jacky-san I got stuck there for a while too, but managed to solve it!

mtwhateverest 2026-04-21 20:50

Very nice and cozy puzzle game :)

2026-04-21 20:54

Fun game! The Music eventually stopped looping. The biggest issue is the wifi signal wouldn't work sometimes at the start of the level so I'd have to reset a bunch to get it work.

wouter52 2026-04-21 21:02

I love a good puzzle game! Yours is approved! I liked it I think these internet service companies earn a lot of money off these wonky signal boosters haha Love the implementation of the game! I finished all levels, except for one. I wonder if it is the same level @tomtomgome ; !> is it the Windmill one?

I think it is awesome that you created a level select screen.

rushb 2026-04-21 21:06

Simple and cool!

thegoblinguy 2026-04-21 21:36

Managed to beat it all, nice little brain teaser. I agree it'd be nice to be able to undo or even just move the repeaters at will, but I do understand it'd probably make it too easy to just brute force solutions with repeated shuffling instead of thinking it out beforehand.

jiri-hysek 2026-04-21 22:01

Nice idea for a casual puzzle game. It fits the theme well. I only wante to be able to move already placed repeater, starting over and over is a bit frustrating. Maybe it's a design decision to make the game a bit harder - to add a memory element to the puzzle?

coatline 2026-04-21 23:49

Interesting one. I was stuck on the Reach level. The restart button kept messing up which people have already pointed out. Good idea for a puzzle game!

sarah 2026-04-22 01:20

Other than the bug for restarting a level things work pretty well. I like solving the puzzles but it's a bit time consuming to restart when you place something a bit wrong. Overall nice job!

udfblr 2026-04-22 06:35

It's a very cute game! ^-^

The simplicity of the mechanics and controls is captivating. There wasn't enough rollback from the previous action to avoid replaying the level

bananplyte 2026-04-22 14:29

Very cute game! Nicely scoped! Great theming!

indiepanda 2026-04-22 16:10

This looks nice. I've reached level 5, but I'm not sure I fully understand how the mechanics work.

mikan 2026-04-23 08:11

Oh, this is really counterintuitive. It would be great if the operating rules of the mechanism could be revealed, or if the coverage area could be displayed in real time.

Nice design! The game perfectly reflects the given theme, good job!

roroto-sic 2026-04-26 15:20

Really neat puzzles, I was surprised how much they made me think for such a pretty simple concept. Everything was clear and easy to grasp. The only hiccup I ran into was that clicking on reset sometimes wouldn't fully reset a level, the source router would be stuck on zero range. I would have to click and hold to kinda finesse the reset.

Fun stuff, good job!
