LD59 — Signal

Happiness by OddballDave 2026-04-20T13:07:54Z

Fun games, art, and voice acting

A real gigachad:

FYI: At the start of the game, protect your ears))

Happiness by OddballDave 2026-04-20T16:43:43Z

My headphones were still at max volume from the last game, and that hit my ears pretty hard)

Follow It by jk5000 2026-04-20T08:32:27Z

I cleared both endings (not sure if there are others). It’s a quick play, so definitely check it out. The concept is clear, but it could use more "oomph" or a few scares.

Tip: start with your volume low, then dial it up to a comfortable level once you're in. The intro is a total ear-blaster!

Signaler Signal by khaotom 2026-04-20T09:41:18Z

My face when I realized I had started a second playthrough:

It’s a pretty funny game, I liked the art style the most

Signal Circuits by Alex Mulkerrin 2026-04-20T09:08:46Z

I’m so dumb :D For a solid minute, I was interpreting the game as "Out is where the signal starts, and In is where it enters." But it got easier after that. The in-game hints are actually useful, and it’s a pretty interesting puzzle. I cleared levels 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10, but for some reason, level 3 still eludes me, even though I feel like I get the logic. Overall, I had to fire a lot of neurons just to get the signals in-game where they need to go. Give it a try - what describes a "signal" better than the signal itself?

R.P.S.G.F. by mr.kvinter 2026-04-20T11:04:27Z

Amusing game. Honestly, the whole fist mechanic could be used in a cozy cow-milking sim, or perhaps something... different)))

Nice job! And to wrap it up: "HELL YEAH, ROCK ON!"

Licence to Fine by IndigoWolf 2026-04-20T12:40:51Z

As many ruins as there are in this country, that’s how many cars I’ve wrecked. On the first level, I tried so hard to pull into that alley on the left to reach the detached house, but I just couldn't make it happen) Overall, the driving was interesting, and I was impressed by the mirrors but those turns... God save the King of those turns :D

By the second level, I stopped catching signals entirely) I barely managed to pick them up on the first one)

Cadence of Glob by Orjan 2026-04-22T16:02:29Z

I really enjoyed the game, but the LD site wouldn't let me experience it fully. It would be great to see it on itch.io as well!

Guiding Signal by Kevin Meissner 2026-04-21T10:46:03Z

Cruiser in my bay - that was awesome!

The game looks gorgeous, and the mechanics are super satisfying)

Hopefully, those signals won't bring any Vikings to pillage my trade routes :D

Liked it, excellent work!

Limi by VerttiXPertti 2026-04-22T15:30:13Z

Tu-tu tu-tu tu-tu... That beat while I was running away was fire! :D The visuals were also a nice treat!)

TranscendAnts by JudJudson 2026-04-22T09:02:43Z

Instead of working my actual job, I spent my time working with ants - I wish everyone had that opportunity!)

Interesting idea and execution!

Blip&Dig by ArtemGet 2026-04-22T08:53:36Z

Automation-based incremental, what's not to love?))) Adding some roguelike mechanics would be the cherry on top)

Lovely visuals and sounds

That dopamine face you make when the billions start rolling in:

Bulletproof Broadcast by ugly_robot 2026-04-21T09:08:13Z

I really liked the graphics and the sound, but I especially loved the interpretation of the theme - it's quite unique!)

God save the King :D

Space Pawn Space Shop by bjornstenlund 2026-04-22T15:15:59Z

Pretty sure the customers were in league with aliens, given the whole three finger situation :D

Hijack Waves by JuanRod707 2026-04-22T15:21:29Z

Great visual style! It reminds me of the arcade machines from my childhood)

Echoes Beneath by Joseph Tan 2026-04-21T14:16:26Z

I liked the look and the character animations, but I got stuck here:

Screenshot_13.jpg

It would be great if it returned to its original position after deactivation. As it is, I’m trapped with no way out - I can't get to the other side to activate it and move it again...

I think I would have gone further otherwise

Good luck

Cabined by TheSecondLeft 2026-04-20T17:42:05Z

Really fun) I swear you modeled the elevator after the place I rented last year right down to the hot dogs everywhere :D Solid 10/10 soggy hot dogs

Screenshot_10.jpg

Thumbs up!)

WEB DIVER by mshrmgirl 2026-04-22T15:57:30Z

It felt a little surreal for my liking, with a very distinct visual style, but it’s got a certain charm to it!)

Biba and Boba by Gaudy 2026-04-20T12:53:29Z

"Biba and Boba, two huge morons" or however you say it in English :D

Cute art!

For the author: - I couldn't always select 3 elements per turn; no matter where I clicked, it felt like it was broken - I tried hard to turn on the music and sounds, but the sliders kept resetting to 0

Hope this feedback is useful

Biba and Boba by Gaudy 2026-04-20T16:15:55Z

@gaudy for example, I still have 3 cards left, and based on the "1/3" indicator, I should be able to pick one more. However, I can't select any of those three, as shown in the screenshot below. Maybe I’m misunderstanding the mechanic

Officially Dead by TechnicalityCreations 2026-04-22T15:02:21Z

I guess I’ve got what it takes to survive a zombie apocalypse after all! ))

Officially Dead by TechnicalityCreations 2026-04-22T15:07:32Z

@technicalitycreations Smashed 4 zombies with a table and got sent flying into the stratosphere. Controlled the descent like a pro and landed on top of a wardrobe :D

Mom, I'm In Space - MIIS by Eden_Zorro 2026-04-21T09:59:02Z

Smooth controls and a cool art style

10/10 meteors to the head:

--- P.S.

Just sharing some advice I’ve picked up:

1.Stick to .zip files - not everyone uses WinRAR these days.

2.Try to include MacOS and Linux builds right away, though Web builds are definitely the "meta" for accessibility.

Signal Keeper by IndiePanda 2026-04-22T15:38:28Z

Cute graphics!)

Saving Planet by Bambutcher 2026-04-20T16:47:55Z

Guys, first of all, thanks for your feedback!

@akihirof I’m coding in C# using Godot 4.6, and unfortunately, web builds for this configuration haven't been fixed yet. We’re just waiting and hoping for a miracle...

I’ve added builds for MacOS and Unix and uploaded them to itch, though I haven't had the chance to test them myself. I don't own a Mac and my only Unix setup is an WSL Ubuntu shell)

@xotraz So sorry about that bug! Could you let me know your screen resolution?

Saving Planet by Bambutcher 2026-04-20T16:55:32Z

@xotraz My bad) I set 1920x1080 as the minimum resolution, and I'm afraid that if I start scaling everything down now, I'll run into a bunch of visual or even technical bugs. I’ll definitely keep this in mind for my future games. Thanks again for the feedback!

Saving Planet by Bambutcher 2026-04-21T11:21:09Z

Guys, thanks for your feedback!

Turns out my headphones were the problem. I played it back through the monitor and realized it was way quieter than I thought....

Just pushed a fix for the audio to the itch builds

Saving Planet by Bambutcher 2026-04-22T17:22:43Z

@theg I agree, the balance is a bit off. Lowering the penalty would be ideal so players have a chance to fight back after missing some blocks. Currently, it feels like if you slip up once, you're just spiraling toward an inevitable game over :(

Saving Planet by Bambutcher 2026-04-26T13:59:46Z

I've tweaked the balance in the itch.io builds: - Reduced the penalty for missing binary blocks from 5000 to 2000 - If you miss 20 binary blocks, the antenna count now resets to 1. This should allow for a comeback to game if you miscalculated your firepower and added an antenna too early

STATION 88 by EnAttendantUnity 2026-04-21T09:42:50Z

Interesting game! Huge thanks for the hints in the description without them, I’d probably still be sitting there listening to the crows cawing :D

Drum`n`Ice by PepeBrante 2026-04-22T16:00:17Z

Talk about immersion! This game literally brought the snow to my city in late April :D

SIGNALOOSE by JohnDare 2026-04-20T17:20:44Z

I spent 15 minutes learning how to fly, and my stats were something like 1/36 :D I guess flying drones just isn’t my thing))

I probably would’ve pushed it to 1/50))) But the game froze after I Alt-Tabbed at this point: Screenshot_9.jpg

The flight mechanics are interesting, and although I found it a bit hard to see the right route, I enjoyed it overall)

Chromawalk by Zyertdox 2026-04-20T10:54:10Z

Turned out to be a pretty neat game! I finished the whole thing, though levels 6 and 8 took a few tries. At one point during level 8, I got distracted by work and the robot's movement sound started loopin - I unintentionally started nodding my head to the beat it created :D

Lonely Crossway by polyvishap 2026-04-20T09:25:03Z

Played it thrice and 16 traffic lights is my limit so far :D

Screenshot_2.jpg

Anyone beat that?

Really cool for something made in 12 hours. Wishing you all green lights in everything you do!

Unlucky Fields by Horsedetroia 2026-04-21T13:52:57Z

I’ve stomped on so many fly amanitas that the Mushroom Mafia is definitely coming for me now! )))

I missed having at least a run animation for the character, but the parallax effect turned out really cute
