LD59 — Signal

DIG_POD by a333 2026-04-23T08:18:38Z

The upgrade system is super well-balanced — it takes time to grind, but you can still hit the max even during a jam. I thought I'd find some signal source at the end, but nope — it was a boss. Freakin' awesome!

443 cm of cable — I did it!

The controls are very sensitive — which makes you pay closer attention to your actions. The camera switching is implemented excellently and, in my opinion, is a key condition for victory — in third-person view, you need to plan your route, and in first-person view, you need to watch the edges of the narrow path. The glitch effect is absolutely fire!

Speed Signal by pkenney 2026-04-24T09:54:56Z

Haha, this is fun! It would also be great if the bot had an antenna that, when the jump button is pressed, lit up to show that the signal was received. P.S. The 'impossible situations' are really funny, thanks for the R button.

Blazing Brave Hyperion M by abcdef65g 2026-04-28T17:17:10Z

Whoa, that's such a cool gameplay idea — fighting on two screens at the same time, and the signal mechanic really works. The only thing is, between trying to defend yourself and hitting the right buttons, I barely got to watch any of the epic battle animations 😅

Do it Right by captain-awesome 2026-05-05T19:54:28Z

Cool idea, and the visual style along with the sound is awesome! Super polished game. For me personally, it was a little tough to keep track of everything just by listening and remember all the commands 😅

Lignas by Akadream 2026-05-08T18:29:07Z

Oh, this is awesome! Love the pixel art and sounds. The mechanics were familiar — I'd run into something similar at a jam before, so it wasn't hard to pick up. From the description, I was worried that my WASD habits would make the arrow keys awkward, but nope — not an issue at all. Big respect for making a game you can finish pretty quickly. Like!

Kuiper Space Rescue by Saering 2026-04-22T18:53:16Z

The style is very well maintained, and overall it looks stunning

UPLiNK Defender by Logic Monkey 2026-05-08T07:34:17Z

Took me 4 tries, but I managed to beat the game. Upgrades have a huge impact, but RNG doesn't always give you what you need. I get that it's just the nature of game jams, no worries. Overall, I had fun.

Signal Fading by Animaster 2026-04-22T10:19:06Z

The idea is quite interesting, however, it took a fair number of attempts to understand why the drone suddenly stops responding and you need to pay to continue.

LowSignal by Twaerd 2026-05-01T21:07:07Z

Hah, I was in such a rush to get to the bathroom, and then right in front of the door, a helicopter scooped me up. Damn, and now I want these as wallpapers for my phone.

Earth Assimilation Readiness Protocol by PurpledArtFrog 2026-04-24T09:32:24Z

The visual style is excellent, the tense atmosphere is complemented by the music and the story setup. It's all great, but… Within the context of a jam, it's hard to dedicate hours and hours to each project just to figure out exactly what needs to be done. I'm sorry, I didn't save the Earth.

Uplink by thormoth 2026-04-22T18:16:46Z

I'm unstoppable! Cool, complete game. Great work! Снимок экрана — 2026-04-22 в 21.14.56.png

Alien Delivery Service by Minus 2026-04-22T15:19:49Z

I liked thetuning process, and I managed to tune the receiver. A chest and some kind of cone appeared on the screen. I couldn't place them in the chat. Then the lights went out, and as I understood, I needed to fix something through the chat, but I can't buy anything — it gets stuck on the confirmation window.

Red Light Green Light by beats 2026-05-01T17:24:23Z

All that is simple is ingenious, and all that is ingenious is simple

Rescue Signal by emrod 2026-04-24T09:44:16Z

The artwork is very pleasing. It looks like a finished mobile game :D Just fix the background wave sound a bit (it cuts off very abruptly) and it's ready for release.

Space Operator by MtWhateverest 2026-04-22T16:59:58Z

Great setting and music

Deep Conversation by Paulsams 2026-04-26T07:46:12Z

Яичницу готовить я умею, но играть в этот жанр игр неочень, поэтому мой прогресс остановился на яичнице😅 Классная проработанная игра!

Beehive Pollen Hunt! by Zizhen96 2026-04-23T17:53:32Z

The design is very pleasant, and the progression is felt quickly. Good work. I first found this game on itch.io, but there was no link to here. Phew, good thing I accidentally came across it now in the feed. Screenshots would have helped a lot.

Turnpike by benjaminm 2026-04-30T07:09:21Z

It was so nice to get back into that classic 8-bit game vibe.

Static Echoes by oramun 2026-04-30T20:36:32Z

Whoa! This looks and sounds incredible! The music totally enhances the tense vibe from the resource constraints. All in all, the style and easy-to-grasp gameplay make this well worth your time. Awesome job!

Signal from the Mist by BorodaOlen 2026-04-22T16:41:47Z

Cool idea with the fog. I somehow managed to make the lifebuoy move almost horizontally and take nearly a minute to come back along with the survivor. It was thrilling ;D

Haberdashery Rhythm Assault by Asieke 2026-04-24T08:59:17Z

Beautiful art! It was totally not obvious to me when the scissors would perform a series of attacks. The scissors left only 68% of me, haha.

Incoming by kremlebot 2026-04-22T10:40:18Z

Awesome style! The visuals, sounds, all the tooltips, smooth and responsive controls — everything harmoniously creates the atmosphere. Unfortunately, I got stuck at the stage with the bathtub.

Incoming by kremlebot 2026-04-22T17:48:30Z

@kremlebot,the door is always locked. If I use the printer, the water doesn't have time to spill on the floor. If I run straight to the bathtub, the water does have time to spill, but the caretaker doesn't react to the electricity and just runs toward me, no matter where I am. Снимок экрана — 2026-04-22 в 20.44.25.png

Incoming by kremlebot 2026-04-22T19:57:08Z

@kremlebot, I figured out what the problem was. In Safari, the patrol guard's entry into the room doesn't trigger correctly — he starts moving before the water has time to spill, and sometimes after, but his damage from electricity doesn't register. This is the best game I've had the chance to play at this jam, and not being able to finish it was bothering me.

Pulse Rescue by Soul Grinder 2026-04-22T20:43:47Z

Yeeeah, space! Special respect for the game being in 3D

TEKTA by DariZz 2026-04-22T19:18:47Z

Phewwww, that got on my nerves — good job

Sleep ArthonBru, Sleep! by hotaloca 2026-04-23T09:57:33Z

Music is all around us. All you have to do is listen. Surprisingly captivating.

Tower Signal by Pierre-Marie 2026-04-22T16:13:32Z

The visual style and sound are stunning! The skill tree is interesting, and I would have liked to see it in its entirety, but… the cost of each new skill point increases way too much. Sorry, but I couldn't get past level 8. I'll try to get back to the game on the weekend, when I have more free time.

STATIC by Solis 2026-04-24T17:30:02Z

The look and feel of this is just amazing! The way you interact with objects is not something I'm used to, but it's super interesting. Actually brought me back to using phones like this 😅

But honestly, I'm just not sharp enough to beat the game… Still — fantastic work!

McFoley's by braktheman 2026-04-22T17:36:26Z

The sounds are soooo funny

Per Signum by apoly 2026-04-24T10:34:00Z

Didn't get it at first, but then it hit me. Really unique gameplay with cards and controlling territory. Awesome job!

Finnicky Fourier Toy by nathmate 2026-04-23T10:22:36Z

Phew, this is tough. There might be a pattern to it, but for me it just ended up being trial and error until something worked. Awesome variety though!

Signal Hunting by iphelf 2026-05-07T18:35:49Z

It's all good, but a web version would be really nice 😇

Dicebound by Derly 2026-04-23T08:43:52Z

The sound design is super minimal — just right for getting totally immersed and chilling out.

DEDUCTION by Chaak 2026-04-23T09:45:14Z

The web version doesn't work. Sadly, I just can't get this to run on my Mac. Hopefully I'll come back later and might actually get to play.

Pumpkin Bypass Clinic by 042a 2026-04-23T09:05:57Z

Looks like my patient isn't a big fan of the treatment :D Such cheerful music and then getting ejected after the treatment — ahaha

Status - It's you. by Disvent 2026-05-03T06:31:44Z

Классно! Очень понравилось (хах, механика похожа на мою игру). Все очень понятно что нужно делать, есть прокачка и пройти можно до финала. Лайк

Mech and Signals by rnk 2026-04-23T18:01:25Z

This cannon is way too powerful. First it throws you overboard, and then right out of the universe itself :D

Beat the Signal by Fassenberg 2026-04-24T16:34:37Z

Приятный минималистичный дизайн, абсолютно понятно что нужно делать и полностью законченная игра. Здорово! Есть чему поучиться😁

Defying Fate by Psevdonim 2026-04-23T11:09:05Z

The music and graphics are great. Special respect for the game being intuitive and beatable in just a few minutes.

Beakon Fire by Longfall 2026-04-23T10:59:22Z

Haha, that's funny. I was actually thinking about a similar idea myself when I remembered The Lord of the Rings. Really well polished. The music speeds up along with the gameplay — cool.

THE MYSTERIOUS DEVICE by Itero Proto 2026-04-23T18:44:17Z

Визуал и звуки очень классные. Еще бы альтернативные способы управления и вообще огонь

Beecon by Soleil 2026-04-23T18:16:30Z

Wow! Cool style, sounds, animations, and graphics. The puzzle is great, and it would be nice if it required a little less time to complete (within the context of a jam).

SpyMaster by vanny96 2026-04-22T16:36:48Z

Great idea with decoding messages, especially when you have to pick the right keys using the notes about the characters.

Mayday - Keep the signal alive by UnrestStudio 2026-04-30T20:44:16Z

I went into mild shock when the chill, nice music and art took such a sudden and extreme turn. Heh, that's honestly just too funny.

СtРaНge SiГнAL by vlaflya 2026-04-24T16:47:05Z

Господи! Это шедевр! Я с трудом сдерживаюсь, чтобы использовать только цензурные слова и с трудом сдерживаюсь чтобы не расплакаться от того, насколько это жиза... Я хочу улететь вместе с ними.... Такое ощущение, что мы с одного города 🫣

Herdware Signal by Seravlac 2026-04-28T17:49:59Z

Holy cow! What kind of fever dreams are these at 98.8°F? Ahaha, it's just like Diablo — the cow level!

Signal Resonance by amo 2026-04-24T08:45:52Z

Style — 12/10. It reminded me of Syberia. But unfortunately, not my genre.

ECHOMAZE by pipetto 2026-04-24T10:14:35Z

Sweeet. Super fun to play, and the style is absolutely fire!

Signal Through the Blizzard by anku 2026-04-29T06:50:25Z

The visual style and sound do an amazing job at setting the atmosphere and mood! The flashlight looks great, but I never figured out what it's for (maybe it's needed later, but I hit a dead end and didn't have enough fuel to go back). Personally, I'd make the objects and the environment a bit bigger — I had to stick my nose right up to the monitor to make out the details.

Sigma by peped 2026-04-28T17:34:29Z

Found all the figures. It looks and sounds so mysterious that I didn't understand a thing, but I was really intrigued 😁

Last Frequency by Catanus 2026-04-24T17:45:52Z

It looks simple, but it's stylish as hell! The sound and visuals are really satisfying. And it's awesome that there are so many different ways the signal can move.

TWILIGHTHOUSE by bobanko 2026-04-24T08:33:29Z

Дизайн отличный и отдельная благодарность за быстрый формат прохождения. Немного неудобно работает луч света, когда лодки близко к маяку: они, вроде, и на свету, а начинают уплывать

5G Crash by krawa 2026-04-26T08:01:47Z

This game is hilarious! Got a bit confused when some upgrades need to be placed on the tower while others just activate nearby. Lost a lot of HP because of that, but still beat it on my first try.

The Last Crossing by Malorym 2026-04-30T07:40:05Z

Beautiful, stylish, and a cool concept. A really pleasant game. That said, I didn't understand why using E drains HP, so after a couple of tries I just stopped using it altogether.

Signal Girl by MEM0 2026-04-24T08:18:53Z

Haha, iPhone 30 — right on point

COPYTHAT by PPKO 2026-04-24T10:04:39Z

Damn, love the style! The cashier's a total hardass, he wouldn't let me in no matter what 🤣

Drum`n`Ice by PepeBrante 2026-04-22T14:39:56Z

Cool intro!

If you could add 1–2 bars of pause between the player's attacks and the enemies' attacks (as a preparation before each new enemy), it would be absolutely fire!

Hired or Homeless by dqso 2026-04-24T10:45:21Z

Fun concept! The system with different response options is really well developed. My favorite is 'For extra pay' 😅

NEON BREACH: Get the Signal Back by JoeGreen 2026-04-21T20:22:44Z

@kremlebot, нет, даже не играл в Dispatch. Появилась идея с движением сигнала через хабы к целевой точке, а когда начал искать что-то похожее наткнулся на Spreadstorm. Ни разу не видел эту игру, но она выглядела точно так, как я задумал. Взял за референс ее.

NEON BREACH: Get the Signal Back by JoeGreen 2026-04-22T14:46:06Z

@animaster, в релизной версии немного сломан финальный уровень =), однако, поломалась и система прокачки ;D, поэтому можно немного зачизить

NEON BREACH: Get the Signal Back by JoeGreen 2026-04-22T20:03:55Z

@xahon, ахаха, это примерно то, что я задумывал вначале. А потом столкнулся с тем, что время испарилось, а таймер уже на исходе. Спасибо за замечание про сброс прогресса при выходе, в следующий раз обязательно добавлю эту возможность

NEON BREACH: Get the Signal Back by JoeGreen 2026-04-22T20:16:57Z

@brodyaga-sao, thank you for such an inspiring comment! After the jam is completely over, I'm now absolutely obligated to play Dispatch :D

To complete level 5, you need to pick up the optional 'Central Processor' node on level 4.

NEON BREACH: Get the Signal Back by JoeGreen 2026-04-23T10:05:15Z

@nathmate, Yeeeah, I see the issue with level 5. The idea was to add nodes that aren't mandatory for completing the level, but also increase the difficulty if you skip them. Next time I'll need to spend more time on balancing. Thanks for the feedback.

NEON BREACH: Get the Signal Back by JoeGreen 2026-04-24T10:21:11Z

@dqso, So many ideas at the start, and so little time turned out to be available to implement them… Thanks for playing. Maybe this cat will serve as compensation =)

cat(res).png

NEON BREACH: Get the Signal Back by JoeGreen 2026-04-24T16:11:52Z

@fassenberg, спасибо за обратную связь! Совсем не подумал о том, что, раз не успел добавить обучение в игре, нужно добавить его хотя бы в описании 😅 Исправил

Signal Path by Caelestial 2026-04-23T08:54:10Z

This is an absolutely amazing visual style! The drone controls are incredible. This is so cool that I'm stunned and can't find the right words! I bet the sound was supposed to be awesome too. I'll give this game another shot later — maybe it'll get patched

SPACE ROAMANCING by francaaa 2026-04-30T07:24:30Z

Pleasant style and intuitive mechanics. Cool!
