On point with the theme, and pretty innovative in my books. I don't think I've seen anything else like it before. But I would say I don't get what I'm supposed to do at all. Kind of feels like I'm just guessing at what to do, and then when I figure it out it's not that exciting.

Thanks @haln! I hyperfocused on the technical details of signals and then rushed the levels. I also changed the concept mid-jam from being an agent sending signals to being the signal.

What do you think would have been more exciting/interesting? Below are some thoughts that came to mind: -you could move the signal up/down across different materials (such as trying to aim for a window on a wall) -there was an actual tutorial/legend of what frequency was needed for each material

The visuals are nicely distinctive, and the audio works perfectly with them. I feel like I got the hang of it after a few failures. To get to the end I'm pretty sure I'd need to memorize the levels through trial and error rather than reacting on the fly.

Very cool and unique game! I love the sounds. Finished all 5 levels.

It's kinda weird to me, but it fits with theme and you made it, nice job
