Nice combination of a memory and logical puzzle game. Clean, elegant execution. Love the leaderboards setup (wheel rotation feels super retro in a good way).

I love the memory part and the leaderboards. The artwork is also very cute. I must admit, I didn't completely get it the first time. XD

Simple, well made, cute art, easy to learn - I liked it.

Interesting idea in combination of several gameplays!

This is a great puzzle game. All the different elements - sound, visuals, execution of mechanics, leaderboard - worked brilliantly together to make something special. The "signal" theme is maybe slightly weak, but I really enjoyed playing this and it's an excellent game. Very nice!

Got stuck on level 4 - is it something I don't get? On the fourth round I clicked the symbol that appeared on start, but it gave me the "wrong" bleep. I could then click another random one ... but is it because I need to remember an old symbol? Aside from that... really good job - a solid entry where everything seems to click together. Sound fits graphics a nd both fit the gameplay.

Good job - swing by mine if you want... it's pretty janky and not too obvious how to play... :smile:

Rating given - especially liked the visuals and simple concept.

loig 2026-04-21 17:19

@purpledartfrog for the first 3 levels you have only one symbol to find, then you have sequences of symbols (2 symbols at level 4 but more symbols later on).

purpledartfrog 2026-04-21 17:23

Figured as much... but it seemed to only show me one type... maybe it showed it twice... but regardless it did not allow me to pass... other than that I did really like your entry.

loig 2026-04-21 17:30

Hum, that is odd. Maybe a bug preventing some symbols from appearing? I would be interested in knowing if this happened to anybody else and exactly when. In your case it was just at level 4, right?

holysparks 2026-04-21 19:31

That's actually a pretty smart game. The combined challenge to plan out the moves on straight lines between symbols feels fresh.

2026-04-21 22:20

Ohh, it took me a couple restarts to read the instructions properly, but when I understood it, the game was very enjoyable. I didn't immediately notice the symbol that flashes before the full board so I was confused in the beginning. The art and audio are great!

helloimbenjamin 2026-04-21 22:29

The presentation is really nice and cute aesthetic, clean visuals, and the audio fits well with the overall style. Everything feels really polished and cohesive.

Overall though, it’s a clean and well-presented éntry. Great work!

It is a well made game, I had fun playing it. Good job!

zakchaos 2026-04-23 04:43

beautifully done and really cool chalkboard aethetic. was really cool gameplay mechanic, and i really liked the great icon design!

frib 2026-04-23 16:29

Very similar to the hacking minigame in cyberpunk 2077, except you have to memorize the sequence and not forget/miss one accidentally when they're shown :D My mind wandered for a second and it was game over :')

Still, very fun! Good stuff!

zirrrus 2026-04-23 19:05

Neat twist on Simon says, having to also strategize about the path to take. Great idea! I lost eventually because I got distracted and wasn't quite ready for the next round. Maybe add a confirmation before showing the next sequence?

mamboman 2026-04-23 20:30

Very nice little game! First I was quite confused with the explanation but it was very clear when actually playing. I think in the first round it was helpful, that the first couple of levels had only one symbol. For replaying the first levels were a little boring. Overall I liked it a lot!

avhatar 2026-04-24 06:42

Simple but engaging concept. I was expecting to get to enter my name at the end like on old-school arcade machines — it's a shame, that would've been cool. Especially if you made a post with the stats at the end of LD.

loig 2026-04-24 08:36

@avhatar you enter your name only if you are in the top 8 scores :)

avhatar 2026-04-24 08:45

@loig Ahh, so that's how it works — you really got me hooked =)

A very unusual game. The graphics and sound are excellent, and they combine to create a unique mood. The interface works very smoothly, and I like the simple rules. I was able to make some progress, but—and this could be my imagination—it seemed like I came across puzzles that had no solution. This appeared to happen around level 7. Perhaps that was my own fault; in any case, it would be good to see the solution shown when the player loses. All in all, one of the better entries here. Nice work.

loig 2026-04-26 08:06

@gamebuilder in theory, levels should always have solutions: they are generated from a solution… but it may be the case that I made a mistake given the short development time. This is an excellent idea to show the solution at the end when the player did not find it, I would have loved to think of it myself before the end of the jam.

doridie 2026-04-28 18:08

Very cool game! I played several rounds but didn’t make it onto the leaderboard. A really nice interpretation of the theme.

2026-04-30 14:26

I got last place, and then 2nd and I'm happy with it. XD It got a bit challenging as the game progressed, but it was fun and I enjoyed it a lot, even despite the fact that my memory isn't the best. It's a really nice game and the aesthetic is also good, the idea with chalkboard added a lot of charm to it. ♥ Will return and try to beat my best score c:Zrzut ekranu 2026-04-30 162051.png

Very easy to learn and play. The audio is a nice touch because it helped me remember which tone was which. I kinda think the timer should be longer (or maybe there's an untimed mode for noobs like me) but overall I really loved this unique puzzle game!
