LD59 — Signal (55)

Wavelatro by ForsakenAginor 2026-05-09T10:42:30Z ♥ 1

wow, what a game! i love the graphics a lot, great atmosphere. I had a hard time to understand what i was doing and still won though, haha :)

Stop and Go by Pixelverse 2026-05-09T10:30:49Z ♥ 0

Simple graphics, but pretty fun! The main problem is, that there is that part of the game where the right way to play it is to not play it at all. The signal idea is interesting, but not doing anything feels weird. There could be a way to shield oneself against the stop signal or maybe some slow movement in hiding can work or something like that. I still had a good time trying to hit those jumps!

Bad Vibes by RubixNoob13 2026-05-06T10:26:26Z ♥ 2

Nice platformer, i emptied my gun in the first couple of seconds until I realized it drains the energy. One of the ladder jumps is really hard :> I really liked the animations, that stood out immediately. Could have more polish and balancing, but its a jam after all.

Stay Tuned by ThinArc 2026-05-04T16:24:10Z ♥ 1

Audio and Mood is this entrys strongest part! The game is a card upgrade shooter and you shoot with radiowaves. I am still not completely sure how to play it correctly or whether I won or died, haha. I felt like ive taken no damage, but its not completely clear without knowing it.

I like the audio and the general art style a lot, with polishing and clear instructions it would be really nice.

Dot Dash Mash by chybby 2026-05-04T09:31:26Z ♥ 0

What an incredibly polished result. The music, the muting on beeps being played, the puzzle depth. Could be a mobile game just right off the batch! The only feedback I found: - on itch for some reason the window was too large and not everything was visible (on a 4k monitor), but it worked fine in fullscreen - the instructions come in too slow - i didnt understand immediately, that its irrelevant when beeps start/how long long ones are. Probably my fault, lol.

Amazing game!

What's Up? UFO! by picross 2026-04-29T19:26:47Z ♥ 1

Really relaxing game with nice music. I really liked the "voice acting". Thats a smart way to replace real voice acting. Thanks for the web version!

Kepler-186f by wisstopher 2026-04-28T23:46:58Z ♥ 0

Loved the aesthetics on this one! The lowpoly sci-fi atmosphere is solid. Tuning the frequency on the gun is a fun innovative mechanic. The music is simple but eerie and reminds me of 70s SciFi. Well, the whole thing reminds me of that! Of course there could be a lot of polishing, but a strong entry overall.

Signal Tower by Jhonny111 2026-04-27T22:59:08Z ♥ 0

The game looks really promising and absolutely something I'd play the sh*t out of. I had a hard time playing it thought, because in the first run everything was upside down and the controls reversed too (the floor was the ceiling and going left made me go right)?! That was super weird. I tried again and then it was all correct and I could play many waves. It was quiet some fun and the only thing I was really missing was more special effects like explosions, hit markers, etc. Nice entry, thank you for sharing!

S.L.O.P. - Signals lost on planets by Pentaworks 2026-04-27T22:44:46Z ♥ 2

Love the physics! The "space junk" is making it real hard to hit the target. I've been trying to spam the screen with signals, but it wasnt really working either, even though it was fun to be able to do that. Its a very delicate thing to do to actually hit the target.

The good: - The Physics are fun to play with - Space is great and works great in this game - It's also somewhat educational

What felt off: - I had the feeling the same looking pla... SPACE JUNK had different gravities, is that true? - The main thing to make things harder, was to hide the goal behind space junk. I wish there was more variety. - It was kinda hard to predict orbits. Maybe a short preview of the flight path could increase the fun.

A very nice game that kept me hooked longer than I thought it would.

Téloche by Magalix 2026-04-26T21:55:03Z ♥ 4

very relatable game when you were alive in the 20th century! easy to understand, amazing assets, quick and fun. thanks for making it!

Signal Spoofer by stuckne1 2026-04-26T08:54:22Z ♥ 2

Great Portal vibes! Loved the game! that it looks "under construction" is a believable design choice, because it might be lab conditions. Played through until I was about to get washed 🙈 The only moment I was really stuck, was when I needed to hack the scanner. I didnt even think about this possibility way too long. Nice!

Super Glop Arcade by loveapplegames 2026-04-25T10:13:20Z ♥ 2

Thats a nice base for an arcade game. The mechanics were somewhat clunky and often I didnt understand why I die or the starting conditions were weirdly all over the place (in the digger i often died within the first split second and other times I was disconnected from the other caves and I could take my time or the space invaders one where the ship shooted without me clicking at the beginning or the first shot being directly in my face without much time to start playing). The pixel art is very nice and with giving more love to every games mechanics it could become a great arcade compilation! And its 9 games for 1 jam! Thank you for your entry!

Also thank you for talking about your AI prompting strategy.

Ghost Pulse by thelasttankmage 2026-04-24T22:08:10Z ♥ 1

I got jumpscared! You somehow managed to put enough immersion in this 2D game, that I almost jumped from my seat, lol! Nice work!

Small Among Storms by ShanzPro 2026-04-24T22:04:29Z ♥ 3

Pretty game, cute main character! I died a lot. Honestly I didnt understand what I should do to prevent attacks. I tried to dodge lightning and go up a tree to get away from the owl, but there was to chance but to go forward? Also I expected jump on space, took me way to long to realize! Impressive result!

SILENTIUM by Shram 2026-04-24T21:50:31Z ♥ 4

drove around for a good while and the atmosphere is great! loved the radio! Mechanics are simple enough but the organic interactions are great. makes it feel engaging. impressive amount of work done in the time available, great work, looks really polished.

Pyre Lookout by outstar 2026-04-24T21:42:13Z ♥ 1

I connected with the Frog! This is a great game, that reminded me a lot of Disco Elysium and Firewatch of course. The atmosphere is amazing, the humor is also nice! I liked the change in background when the fire grows near, I got scared, lol. Only thing I can give to improve it is mostly, that the wall of text was a little too much of me, especially because it often jumped around and I needed to look for the part I didnt read yet, whenever I continued the dialogue. Oh! We have almost the identical settings menu in our games, lol!

ULTRA-RADAR by ZezinhoESR 2026-04-23T20:32:00Z ♥ 1

The dread it creates to not see everything all the time is wild. Also liked the kickback when shooting. Great entry, especially for compo!

The Light House Keeper by kenevil1 2026-04-23T17:00:58Z ♥ 4

I couldn't decypher what is walkable area and what is a wall until I finally found some clues, lol! Other than that it was actually fun and the best was the splatter decals! That was pretty impressive! Also bonus points for voice acting!

Effigy of the Sky Lords by Purrseus 2026-04-23T16:56:34Z ♥ 1

This game has everything that matters for a full adventure game! I like the humor and aesthetics the most. Controls and how conversations work could be improved, but hey its a jam game. Nice work!

Winter Resort by Xarina777 2026-04-23T16:48:11Z ♥ 2

haha, the humor is strong with you guys! the controls are hard to use (I was stuck at the first stairs until I found out that I can jump to overcome the invisible obstacle at the end) but when you get used to it it gets really funny. Well done!

Ray of Hope by Sceef 2026-04-23T14:21:40Z ♥ 1

The fog and god rays do a lot of heavy lifting here, the atmosphere is easily the strongest part. I also bounced off the button puzzle and ended up brute-forcing it. Mad respect for shipping this despite the Unity troubles you mentioned!

Observer by zidan-banan 2026-04-23T14:08:34Z ♥ 1

Loved this game! The twist made me go wtf! and this was awesome!

MEGAHONK by kuviman 2026-04-21T23:20:19Z ♥ 1

chrome_P4lRBL22Ni.png It went so perfectly smooth until then. I was caught in a megalomanian traffic jam and almost stepped out of the vehicle and started a fist fight.

Great game!

LunaTerm Signal Solver by TheGoblinGuy 2026-04-21T22:30:10Z ♥ 1

Lovely game! Terminal games have a special place in my heart. I am still playing, but just one thing I just found: If you type $signal manual it will crash. Also when typing $term 1 it also crashes. :/

HAYWIRE by hirqshi 2026-04-21T22:23:05Z ♥ 1

Insane artwork and style! The gameplay was not super intuitive, but its a unique combat idea and the vibe is immaculate. Once the brain drag mech clicks it feels actualy great. Well done!

Awaiting Response by DzejPi 2026-04-21T21:41:29Z ♥ 1

chrome_G9uYyHyST6.png

Amazing game for sure! The back rooms feeling was intense and I had a lot of figuring out how to escape. The best thing about the design is that every room can take quiet some time to solve, but when you know it, you can speed run the whole thing in a minute or two. Love it!

Herdware Signal by Seravlac 2026-04-21T15:25:06Z ♥ 2

Wow, what a ride!

What was amazing: - the drive mechanics! Even though i got stuck a few times it felt pretty natural - the atmosphere generally. very thick. also a huge fan, because its somewhat similar to our game haha - graphics. very beautiful and detailed. - map size: seriously, how big is that thing? i felt like driving forever - Music creeped me out in all the good ways.

What felt off: - I couldnt find the exit. I was hunted for a long, long time and eventually got killed. Maybe some clues would be helpful. - There were some shadow artifacts, somewhat glitchy - in the HTML version the mouse wasnt properly captured

Moo:

Cookie Signal by Kurakurture 2026-04-21T13:37:35Z ♥ 2

Lovely simple game! Really good actually. Game play is top notch and its easy to understand and enjoy. The art style is special too. Music is also really good. Really not much to say. I just found this, but its my favorite game over all games so far, because its exactly the game i play with my dog, only that i can experience her POV now.

Here is my highscore (edited after tryharding): Screenshot 2026-04-21 at 16.16.15.png

TWILIGHTHOUSE by bobanko 2026-04-21T13:07:17Z ♥ 3

Nice look and feel! Really immersive for such a game. I like the Kraken the most. I didn't understand why boats starts sinking mostly after they already saw my beam, I guess they get super eager to get to safety that they stop looking for obstacles, lol. Music is also nice.

Nowhere Station by JCoMcL 2026-04-21T12:49:39Z ♥ 3

The atmosphere is really deep, its uneasy. The story is twisted, interesting and emotional. Nice game! I wish I could actually walk around the scene. With this art style, this would be so intense. It absolutely looked to me like I could, but I havent found any way to do so.

ONE BAR by BadPinkChicken 2026-04-21T12:39:27Z ♥ 0

Interesting concept, but it seems to be a AI generated prototype? At least the UI looks like the prototypes I generated with AI, haha. It could use a lot of manual polishing. Anyway, thumbs up for the idea, its like a simplified and full force Pokémon Go type of game.

Fire Support Survivors by Zamizmi 2026-04-21T09:36:56Z ♥ 3

Impressive graphics and interesting gameplay! The coordination between walking and drawing shapes with the mouse was easier than I expected. My suggestion would be to make targeting easier, often I had a hard time to understand how I actually gonna shoot with the ability, but maybe that is a skill issue, haha! ✌️

1100 Fish by Reo_Silmetal 2026-04-20T22:16:53Z ♥ 3

I like that you can command multiple ship, that really gives the multi-tasking kick. The atmosphere is thick and I enjoyed it very much.

We Come In Peace by Transkuja 2026-04-20T20:04:13Z ♥ 4

Incredible what you created in that short of a time. Deck builder games are so hard to balance and come up with in a fun and playable way.

Beacon of Hope by Mascoll 2026-04-20T20:00:50Z ♥ 1

Your artwork looks so promising, but your itch.io page is not yet public. Give us your game! 💌 😆

The Black Cat by egggrass 2026-04-20T19:58:51Z ♥ 1

Hey there! I played through all of your game and I found it really cute and it has quiet some potential. The art is very detailed and fits Edgar Allan Poe incredibly good.

The game is played through very fast right now and the cats controls are kind of chunky (I kept entangle myself in the words), but it inspired my imagination. Is there sounds in the game yet? I didnt hear anything and I wish there was a narrator, that would give so much atmosphere!

STAY ON AIR by Ethernal Tech 2026-04-20T19:53:44Z ♥ 2

We want the links 😄

The Last Transmition by Ivan Grigoriev 2026-04-20T19:52:28Z ♥ 1

Wow, the artwork is amazing! Really well done. So heres my feedback:

What is amazing: - The artwork (obviously) - The game play does make sense and is easy to learn and not simple to master - The signal theme is beautifully captured

What felt off: - The settings menu didnt work (yet?) - I wish there were more info on this works, I only learned by a lot of trial and error, which just used my lifes

Overall impressive entry, cheers!

Rouge Light by Kaijiro 2026-04-20T19:46:39Z ♥ 2

This is a cute little puzzle game about people commuting to their destination and its the players task to make them get there fast.

What I liked: - the musical choice: it reminded me of times when I played the old Sim City games - the cars drive on the street pretty believable - the drivers get angry if you let them wait to long

What felt off: - sometimes I couldnt toggle a traffic light and I didnt understand why - I wish instead of a pattern there has been buildings around the streets, that wouldve created much more atmosphere

Had quiet some fun clicking the traffic lights ✌️

Babel Bluff by Pale Stream 2026-04-20T19:27:19Z ♥ 2

I wasn't prepared for it, but I definetly had a run in between, when I thought, I was truly one of them. I somehow just knew. XD Great artwork, sounds and game design. Everything went smoothly!

灯台の見守り — Lighthouse's Vigil by Tanjou 2026-04-20T18:43:54Z ♥ 2

Lovely game! I liked the visuals a lot and the voice acting gives additional atmosphere. I had no problem to understand what I needed to do either. It's hard to come up with an idea on how to improve this actually. The only downside gameplay wise might be that you can do only so much with one light beam. If things get faster the main bottleneck is light beam speed, not so much your skill, I guess, which was a little frustrating at times. Overall a great game!

Jump, meow! by Kismet 2026-04-20T16:19:17Z ♥ 2

Very relaxing and cute artwork. ♥

Isolated Signal by Ethan Hammonds 2026-04-20T16:15:04Z ♥ 1

The game is basically finished. It has just the right amount of tension and everything. I died because I used up my bullets on trying out the mechanics, haha! Top!

Blackboard Eraser Arcade by Loig 2026-04-20T16:06:16Z ♥ 1

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

Call Me by MrWarranty 2026-04-20T16:05:29Z ♥ 1

The game design is strong on this one! It's not easy to come up with a concept that works and this one does! Nice work!

I've Got No Signal! by MattCole 2026-04-20T16:02:29Z ♥ 1

I thought I can pick up the bomb 😢 Great game!

Cardboard Delivery Service by skale 2026-04-20T15:59:09Z ♥ 1

Great design and theme, had quiet some fun! I had trouble to understand what to do, but your video helped! It's also a Tony Hawks Pro Skate competitor ✌️

Cheeky Cherry Choo Choo by Phlip45 2026-04-20T15:53:36Z ♥ 1

Had some trouble to know what to do, but then I was in the flow! Thanks for the HTML version, had a lot of fun!

Traffic Jam by MountainGoose 2026-04-20T15:41:44Z ♥ 1

Pretty cool! I think I never fully understood how to be good in this game, but I managed to have traffic flowing quiet nicely. Thank you for making this!

Pulse by quietchili 2026-04-20T15:35:12Z ♥ 0

Fun game indeed! I felt mildly nauseous whenever the signal fades and its all black again. Weird, I think I never felt that with a 2D game 😆 I still pulled through and won!

RETURN//NULL by ShadyShade 2026-04-20T15:22:05Z ♥ 1

Love the game! It's really atmospheric and the black hole animation/shader is phenomenal. This alone had captivated me.

Signals, please by Leandro4002 2026-04-20T15:16:33Z ♥ 0

Holy shit! One of the best games I've seen so far! It is a real strategy game! O_o

My main feedback is, that the many flags needs the armies to move super slow to be able to find the right flag in the pile, but at the same time this makes it hard to understand what they are doing and can bore you away. Maybe the concept could be somewhat adjusted there, to remove this contradiction.

Anyway, super nice! Impressive!

Listen to the Sky by ExciteMike 2026-04-20T14:41:53Z ♥ 1

Seriously loved the game! I didn't know what to do in the beginning, but I found out quickly and the music made me feel like flying! The theme was matched perfectly too!

Broadcast Alignment by Pedro M Marangon 2026-04-20T14:31:13Z ♥ 1

Beautifully made. I enjoyed playing it, but didn't know I already won and played forever. :D

Zone Out by ConradoClark 2026-04-20T14:24:44Z ♥ 1

Looks very polished! Love the art. ✌️
