LD59 — Signal

Pharos by Chaseplays 2026-05-06T21:47:52Z

nice solid gameplay, good decision to have second chance, when one boat was sunken, and you can complete mission with another one. nice music, but too chill for such gameplay. good seamless levels. it was a bit tricky how to control multiple ships, at first i thought it's possible to give different targets to different ships.

PS, and thanks for review!

Great game. Idea is really - minblowing. Sometimes i got stuck because some micrograins, but it`s okay. Love to see some updates in this game, it`s have great potential!

Super Glop Arcade by loveapplegames 2026-04-21T13:45:08Z

Interesting game. But gameplay a little bit hard to understand. But this is a solid work! Wait fow new part

Semaphore Euphoria by Papaver 2026-05-07T20:51:11Z

nice cozy game, music is a bit annoying, but gameplay is solid. i like the second layer of gameplay with decoding messages and do the action.

BTW, we had similar idea, about aircarrier, but decided to move on with lighthouse.

Lightkeeper by iovorobiev 2026-04-21T20:35:00Z

Interesting concept(actually i have also used lighthouse in my game but in a different way) The music and art is really good and have high quality. I had a situation when i run out of fuel but noone give me new one. What should i do in this scenario? Anyway, the game itself is really great

Zero-Day Lunch by metalim 2026-04-21T19:53:23Z

Interesting concept. Music is also great!

Signal Dungeon by rhewid 2026-04-21T20:17:26Z

Absolutly astonishing game. Love to see some old concepts but build in modern way with moodern design. Game design and music is gorgeous and really gives real boost in atmosphere!

Signal Dungeon by rhewid 2026-04-25T23:20:15Z

hey, some extra feedback: - sfx setting doesn't work, and jump/step sounds too noizy. suggestions: - make able to go up/down while on rope - make more epic music for such challenging gameplay!🤘 - for ld id made no health limit, so players could pass whole game in a 1 run. - also cave bg would make it more atmospheric.

ps some were already mentioned by others, "write, then read" - my credo.

The Last Signal by DarthWaxus 2026-05-06T21:33:54Z

nice solid concept, love the graphics/art style.

feedback: i'd prefer to control attack on keyboard as well, since mouse movement is obsolete here. also it would be nice to have cooldown on enemy attacks, to counterattack them, and maybe ability to block/parry their attacks. also epic music would increase immersion.

Pawn Patron by deformhead 2026-05-06T22:04:30Z

nice grahics, and effects/animations, but those red dots and blood are poorly visible on brown tiles, i'd prefer to paint them blue or green, to keep contrast. too short timeout for Hadouking, also it would be nice to see that countdown, to understand how much time is left for a turn.

Holy Light by Tvorojok 2026-04-22T14:02:57Z

A very interesting game and music, wow, it's something else! While playing, I believed I was one of the medieval crusaders. The levels change so smoothly, and it feels like real history; I even forgot I was playing this game!

Lagworld Relay 59 by alisher_fazilov 2026-04-21T14:35:58Z

nice music! hard to understand how to operate. missing keyboard controls. ui is too small, pls add full-screen mode

Ray of Hope by Sceef 2026-04-23T14:30:07Z

это была топ-1 игра из чата чемпионов лд, в которую я хотел поиграть, к сожалению, не сложилось с веб-билдом. так что только могу высоко оценить графику и Mood 👍 (даже гопники-инвалиды ее не переплюнули по вайбу)

Gas & Fly by Gurtek 2026-04-21T13:53:23Z

Great design but when i first open the game i don`t see the plane. Also, maybe it`s worth to add fullscreen button?

AGENTS RHYTHM & RAID by Nadia Pixel 2026-04-21T19:46:24Z

Very very modern and god-styled game. Music is also very good.I killed a lot of mobs on level 2, and then got the level with the guy. I belive i should insert all the balls into holes with 'S" button, am i right? Anyway, the game is amasing and author/s have a very good taste!

Telepathy, Rhythms & Fingers by LesDremlet 2026-04-21T15:41:38Z

Game is good but sound - my ears, graphic is nice

Soul Beat by semenov 2026-04-21T15:24:55Z

nice graphics, but too repetative sound design

Tragedia Nel Bar by Gledus Varnanos 2026-04-21T20:24:40Z

very-very good concept, audio and design is also great. Love to see part 2 of such amazing game from this authors!

The Red Watcher by FoxEcho 2026-04-21T14:01:53Z

Interesting game. I would change the music and maybe add some hints, how to purchase this bonuses. Anyway, very fun game to play! Great job!

LD59 SIGNAL STRIKE by GARYglhf 2026-04-21T13:42:44Z

Very good game. But have some problems with this beam, a little bit too hard to get a resources. But gream game! "I am doing my part")))

LD59 SIGNAL STRIKE by GARYglhf 2026-04-22T21:18:57Z

к сожалению падает с ошибкой на ЛД у меня такая же проблема была изза внешних ресурсов, пришлось удалить и оставить только на итче. Screenshot 2026-04-23 at 00.03.56.png

к счастью там удалось сыграть: прикольно, напомнило ретро шутемапы с сеги про вьетнам :)

по игре: вначале когда ученый озвучивает цели, то я читал их, и пропустил как взлетать. также с прогресс баром здоровья тоже не сразу понял где он и сколько его осталось - короче интерфейс в этом плане тяжело читаемый. а вот жизни жуков наоборот хорошо читаются (жизни жуков важны). в общем, я бы выделил больше жизнь самого вертолета, может даже забрал бы у жуков градацию цвета и сделал её вертолету. а им оставил одноцветные полоски.

по камере я бы сделал чтобы она центрировалась все таки на вертолёте, или даже лучше -- между вертолетом и курсором игрока, чтобы стрелять издали с безопасного расстояния, но сохранить динамику.

Mating Call by Color and Form 2026-04-21T15:15:59Z

рисовка классная, жаль фулскрина нету. и сложновато понять как они метчатся. карта сильно большая, ощущается пустой, кмк

MISSION 404 by KALABHERS 2026-04-22T22:54:00Z

5star graphics for me, but totally unplayabe in web. can't pass second code, when you need to cure the guy. ps played again, sometimes it works, sometimes not. lack of feedback on bad inputs for me.

Almost the Same by NNMBZR 2026-05-07T12:22:34Z

[ДЖЕМОВСКАЯ ВЕРСИЯ] топовая графичка, анимации и общий стиль, лучшее что я видел на лудуме. очень харизматичные герои. по геймплею тоже прикольно, но сложно или невозможно проиграть, и рисовать приходится чаще чем выбирать, что сильно утомляет, особенно когда три или 4 подряд надо нарисовать чувака.

по багам: - если переходить на другую вкладку и обратно, то музыка запускается поверх повторно, дублируясь - панель настройки кисти перекрывает часть канвы для рисования - у меня квота не падала ниже 3х даже при повешении не тех ребят, то есть геймлуп по сути бесконечный, нельзя проиграть.

по фичам: многие писали что часто рисунки не содержательные, можно было бы на факс добавить кнопку типа зарепортить рисунок, просто чтобы он не попадался другим. по камере тоже сложно управлять сильно, понимаю что это чтобы усложнить рисование, но ощущается вязкость от управления.

[ПОСЛЕ АПДЕЙТА] Интро -- МЕГА затянутое, если бы эта версия была на джеме, я бы дропнул не дождавшись самой игры. ну и перебивки текста между днями убивают пейсинг.

поправили юай в рисовалке + добавили лицевые контуры, как то ломает атмосферу, кмк. как и кисти -- можно одной нарисовать всё (но они и не мешают).

проверка на качество -- мешает сильно, я бы ориентировался чтобы просто пустоту не отправляли, или условно 3 линии, а остальное на модерацию самих игроков.

LD: Lighthouse Defence by Melomaner 2026-04-21T14:41:51Z

nice soundtrack, easy controls, but i'd suggest to input arrow combinations from WASD as well. Deep gameplay 👍

NASA signal by Fi7Games 2026-04-21T15:03:59Z

nice graphics! but too hard to understand the data on screen, too much redundant data on screen, it would be better to use text input, instead of text area with multiple rows which causing errors after Send.

Signal Machine by skeyven 2026-04-21T12:52:45Z

Interesting, but a bit hard to play in the end

Natural Luck by Alexandr Gerya 2026-04-21T15:22:37Z

placeholders for animals missing, not clear what animal do what. too much empty space. lack of fullscreen mode.

Link the Shrink by TOSHIY 2026-04-21T15:31:23Z

не хватает подсветки куда можно ставить а куда нет, особенно для вышек актуально. сначала не понял что они ставятся на пустоты. не понятно зачем мусор нужен. красная подсветка на сене смущает, когда ставишь рядом несколько штук, типа это штраф какой-то, хотя похоже это бонус.

TWILIGHTHOUSE by bobanko 2026-04-21T00:55:30Z

‼️ATTENTION: having issues with embed web on ld website Please, play it at itch.io: https://bobanko.itch.io/twilighthouse

TWILIGHTHOUSE by bobanko 2026-04-21T13:59:42Z

Thanks @kenoshka!

To repel the Kraken you need to shine the beam directly into its eyes.

Lamp burning out too fast + spawn balance is noted.

TWILIGHTHOUSE by bobanko 2026-04-21T14:15:47Z

@metalim

Boats are distinguished by their lights: 🔴🔵 Cops — blue-red flashing 🟢 Cartel — green

Still gonna make them more obvious.

PS btw, first idea was to keep it harder: cops 🔴🔵, cartel - just🔴

TWILIGHTHOUSE by bobanko 2026-04-22T21:00:41Z

@garyglhf спасибо за фидбек!❤️ про льдину да, боль - многие из картеля тоже жаловались, подумаем как исправить. над апгрейдами тоже думаем 👍

TWILIGHTHOUSE by bobanko 2026-04-25T18:24:10Z

Hey @gurtek, thanks for checking out our game and for the feedback!

This is our first Ludum Dare ever (Twilighthouse), so we're still figuring things out. The rules page is currently throwing a 404 for me — mind dropping the exact link or quote about AI stuff and categories? Would really help us get it right.

Quick note: we hand-drew a bunch of the graphics and used AI as a tool for the rest (mostly win/lose screens). Music is Suno track, SFX are from free libraries. If the rules say we should uncheck Graphics or Music because of that, we're totally cool with removing the ticks.

PS Appreciate the sharp eye on the six-fingered dude btw 😂 Classic AI moment.

TWILIGHTHOUSE by bobanko 2026-04-25T20:36:36Z

Hey @rhewid, Thanks! Glad you liked the concept. What was the hardest part for you?

BTW, We’re already fixing the beam, reducing the number of cops, making the tutorial way clearer and smoothing the difficulty based on playtime.

TWILIGHTHOUSE by bobanko 2026-04-26T12:34:01Z

@gurtek , thanks for the link provided. Now it’s clear, I Opt out our game from both music and graphic categories from now. Thanks for clarification!

TWILIGHTHOUSE by bobanko 2026-05-06T21:51:51Z

@chaseplays thanks for review! yeah, you've pushed that idea to the next level. unfortunately, we've wasted first jam day to test a lot of other concepts, before we stopped at lighthouse version. our first idea was to drive the ship, while lighthouse is watching, and stop when it turns away.

TWILIGHTHOUSE by bobanko 2026-05-06T21:54:34Z

@yugimuto спасибо! рад что ей понравилось! идея с кракеном действительно у многих вызвала эмоцию.

TWILIGHTHOUSE by bobanko 2026-05-07T20:36:01Z

@papaver thanks for review! yeah, we had different versions how to calculate the score, at first it was "faster - better", then we switched to "longer - better", but now we're planning to implement new approach with levels, with increasing difficulty and limited health, to simplify score logic.

TWILIGHTHOUSE by bobanko 2026-05-07T20:52:55Z

@artur-hawkwing , sad to hear. We haven't checked on FF. Give it a try on chrome or safari, or EVEN EDGE -- it should work perfectly on those.

DOT & DASH by Kenoshka 2026-04-21T15:36:32Z

Fun idea

PING! ATTACK! RUN! by Kirill Balak 2026-04-21T15:38:53Z

90-style, great time, great game!

Blind Signal by Ilya Kr 2026-04-21T14:55:35Z

nice graphics, sounds are terrific, lack of action/speed.

Signature Zero by red-horde-games 2026-04-21T15:07:22Z

hard to understand how to play :(

Hack my Signal by Acid Infinitely 2026-04-21T14:50:18Z

nice soundtrack, VERY innovative gameplay, but lacks tips where to click next -- сложно было понять куда тыкать, столбик был подсвечен, но на фоне черной сетки уровня его плохо было видно.

Read My Signal by Shivvvy 2026-04-21T22:00:15Z

Read My Signal is a masterclass in "show, don't tell." It strips away the noise of modern gaming and replaces it with the soft chime of a shop bell and the scratching of paws on a wooden floor. It’s short, sweet, and leaves you wishing the night would last just a little bit longer

Laser Beat by Gotlib 2026-04-21T15:51:04Z

Interesting concept. But how to win?

My Room by xiamuivan 2026-04-21T20:06:28Z

Interesting music and design. The taste is s soft, feels like home. This game is very-very cozy. Love to see part 2!!
