LD59 — Signal

Battle Signals: Echoes of the Very Big Horn by evgenii-petrov 2026-04-24T04:56:47Z

The game's art style is fun. But the gameplay is a bit confusing. Basically, you just have to deploy all your units as quickly as possible, and there's no real challenge to that. There are some elements of squad building, but it doesn't have much impact on the battle. Still, the game is enjoyable.

Sacred Bleorgan Artifacts by marudziik 2026-04-22T05:41:23Z

Overall, the game is enjoyable, but in some places the game is unfair to the player (enemies spawn behind the map where you can’t see them, and they can also constantly spawn right on top of the treasure, forcing you to spend a long time trying to collect it). If there were just a little more content, the game would feel much better. I’d like to commend the idea for the jam theme.

Winnerman Scams a Game Show by 100th_Coin 2026-04-22T06:07:21Z

ABSOLUTE CINEMA! The game was a lot of fun, and the gameplay is really unique and interesting. It's definitely the best game at the jam!

Peter's divine intervention by metalgear 2026-04-21T12:04:51Z

The story is really funny. The gameplay isn't too difficult. Overall, it was fun to play.

FLOCX by jester1454 2026-04-21T11:38:32Z

The gameplay is really interesting. The sound effects are a bit harsh on the ears; luckily, there's an option to turn them down. Overall, it was fun to play.

The unidentifed Signal by msipp27 2026-04-22T05:24:53Z

The game is too difficult/complex to figure out what to do. The controls are also very confusing. I never managed to play it; the game was a huge disappointment. However, the concept for the theme is quite interesting.

Melting Sun by JustCore 2026-04-24T06:41:13Z

An interesting concept, interesting gameplay, an interesting story, the house burned down - its fine. It was fun to play.

V.P.N. by torte478 2026-04-21T01:20:52Z

This is such a fun take on the theme. The gameplay might seem simple at first glance, but it gets harder as the number of towers increases. And... oh man... V I B E , IT'S SO AWESOME! Excellent work!

Dicebound by Derly 2026-04-21T00:10:23Z

The gameplay is incredibly addictive, and the visuals really give you a dopamine rush. I had a lot of fun playing this game.

From the Abyss by Megurt 2026-04-21T01:05:51Z

YES, ANIME! The game's visuals are amazing! The sound effects are really cool, but personally, I felt the game lacked music. As for the gameplay, I felt it lacked depth and content. If all of that had been implemented, this game would have been a phenomenal success! Excellent work!

Light of the Beacon by Sergey Kuznetsov 2026-04-21T11:10:45Z

The gameplay is really exciting. Unfortunetly, there wasn't enough variety in the enemies and cards, and there weren't many sound effects. Overall, it was fun to play.

Super Bun Delivery by kalasherr 2026-04-21T00:21:17Z

It's a very relaxing game, but it gets a bit hard toward the end, which is kind of fun. The soundtrack is also very pleasant, though sometimes the sounds overlap and it gets a bit overwhelming. Overall, the game left a positive impression—keep it up!

What’s on your train? by VLAD_LEN 2026-04-21T12:55:57Z

-Mom, buy me “Papers, Please” -No, we already have “Papers, Please” at home “Papers, Please” at home:

Seriously though, it’s a really addictive game.

RETURN//NULL by ShadyShade 2026-04-21T00:04:16Z

The visuals are amazing! But unfortunately, the gameplay is pretty basic :( . It's also easy to get lost in space, and the map isn't much help since it doesn't show whether your destination is above or below you

Farewell by Termegus 2026-04-24T06:09:02Z

Although the gameplay is simple, it's addictive

Signal King by Tetramollaxx 2026-04-21T00:34:55Z

It's an interesting concept for a game, though things start to get pretty chaotic on the screen toward the end. Overall, it was fun to play.

Call of Depths by Nnican 2026-04-24T06:55:09Z

The game has a great atmosphere. Unfortunately, it doesn't work... From the very beginning to the very end, nothing happened. I was really disappointed, even though it was clear that the game was well-designed.

Fellowship of the Signal Fire by OttoBroccoli 2026-04-24T06:22:13Z

It's a really interesting concept for a game. The gameplay isn't too demanding. Overall, it was fun to play.

Warning From Deep Space by MrMastin 2026-04-21T00:54:42Z

The concept and implementation of the signal search are interesting. But the gameplay is pretty repetitive. The signal sound was interesting the first couple of times, but then it started to get very annoying. Good work for the Compo.

Astroscanner by DiElecktrik 2026-04-20T23:39:34Z

It was fun to find new signals, and even more fun to find the Easter eggs. A really engaging game

Signal Mini Keepers by MageShroom 2026-04-24T05:21:16Z

It’s an interesting concept for a game. But the gameplay is a bit confusing. It seems like you can connect the signals yourself, but most of the towers are too far from the signal source, so you can’t connect them. Later, you get a companion who can set up more towers and extend the signal, but then they disappear, and you’re left with nothing to do. There’s also some kind of enemy, but all they do is cause signal interruptions, which isn’t a big deal since it doesn’t last long. And the batteries are only needed for the companions that scare off enemies. Overall, I have mixed feelings about the game, though it has the makings of a good one.

BHCS Broken Head Catches Signals by Honor_Takayama 2026-04-21T11:22:04Z

The artwork is funny. I just didn't get the point of switching radio modes, and the gameplay feels a bit weird overall. But for a Jam, it's a solid effort overall.

Through the Dark Forest by tweekus 2026-04-20T23:55:26Z

At first, I wasn't sure what I was doing wrong, but when I lost for the first time, I immediately knew what to do :D. Overall, it's a good concept, but I'd like to be able to look for signals on my own and have a few more activities available.

Jester’s Vesper by stisdan 2026-04-21T12:31:40Z

The graphics are beautiful, the gameplay is engaging, and it was a lot of fun to play.

Follow the signal by cupofmilk7 2026-04-20T23:45:38Z

That's a really interesting idea for a card game. I'd want to see more content, but otherwise I enjoyed playing it.

Saving Planet by Bambutcher 2026-04-21T10:54:25Z

The game has nice visuals and sound effects (though they're quiet). However, the gameplay is very basic and gets boring pretty quickly. Overall, though, I enjoyed the game.

Signal-Tied by Mr. Flower 2026-04-22T05:10:43Z

My impressions of the game are very mixed. It seems to play fine, but in some places it feels like it wasn't properly tested. If this game were polished up a bit, it would be great.

Intercept by paracorn 2026-04-21T00:40:52Z

Cookie Clicker, but you're a signal tower :D. If there were just a little more variety in the upgrades and a few more activities, this would be a great game. The visuals are really stylish—I liked them.

Cash Harbor by stayawayfrommeow 2026-04-24T05:05:05Z

This is a really cool incremental game. The only thing I’d like to change is the pace of progression—the game picks up speed too quickly, and the gameplay soon boils down to just spamming everything in a row. But in any case, I really enjoyed playing it.
