LD59 — Signal

remote vroom vroom by Tymus 2026-04-21T15:30:09Z

It required a fair amount of focus while exploring the map, but I managed to finish the game. I like the art style. You also clearly managed to complete the game in time, and that deserves respect

remote vroom vroom by Tymus 2026-04-25T14:45:38Z

@roroto-sic I don’t remember exactly, but I think at this point you were supposed to go to the right, along the cliff

dearest friend by Aurel300 2026-04-24T17:35:48Z

Oh, a really great game! My English isn’t very good, so I got stuck on this level, but I really liked the aesthetic you created. Great execution! chrome_3FfE69lfcl.png

Trail Signal by uvwar 2026-04-21T17:47:23Z

Pachinko time! chrome_0JjZ8Sz3DF.png

Battle Signals: Echoes of the Very Big Horn by evgenii-petrov 2026-04-21T11:32:45Z

Good job. As mentioned above, there are issues with understanding how to deploy troops, and I agree with that. I didn’t expect it to be a reaction-speed game rather than a strategy one. Still, the visuals really smooth things out and improve the overall impression

Last Resort by gil4 2026-04-22T14:27:02Z

Wonderful art style! One of the most beautiful I’ve seen in this jam. The gameplay was satisfying as well. I’ve always enjoyed Vampire Survivors–like games

Aurora 4: Prelude by ghost-in-the-toast 2026-04-26T10:59:31Z

Great game! As soon as I got to the main menu with that awesome D&B track and the aurora borealis, I knew this would be a great experience — and it really was.

The game is a bit too difficult, but still very engaging. I’d suggest allowing 2–3 hits before death, as well as adding a way to restore health during gameplay.

Other than that, I have no complaints — great job!LD59_QFPWFONGlD.png

Aurora 4: Prelude by ghost-in-the-toast 2026-04-26T11:01:48Z

Addition: what’s the name of this track? I listened to it for over 10 minutes without even starting the game — I’d love to add it to my playlist

Aurora 4: Prelude by ghost-in-the-toast 2026-04-26T12:27:55Z

@conduit Thank you very much for the link! Really great tracks

Signal Slip by Julester 2026-04-21T14:28:13Z

Great idea and execution! Each level brings something new, and although some effects were a bit too strong and finding the right direction was harder than it should be, the game still feels complete and really cool. Great job!

Signal of the Dead by exofrenon 2026-04-25T13:56:22Z

The download link doesn’t work :с

Signal of the Dead by exofrenon 2026-04-25T17:28:24Z

Oh, I managed to play the web version! Great game! It’s a shame the progress resets after 5 minutes — I’m sure I could’ve lasted longer :D

The character’s inertia was a bit frustrating at times — it sometimes caused me to stop or start moving too late. Also, the initial weapon fire rate feels a bit too low. A few times I got hit because I expected to attack, but the cooldown was too long.

Overall though, it was really fun — I had a great time and would happily play a sequel.

Signal Defender by noneegy 2026-04-25T14:22:57Z

Unfortunately, for some reason the collectors were broken. As soon as the first enemy touched the base, the collector would move to the center of the base instead of going to the resources. Because of this, just to play a bit, I had to restart the game around 10 times so the collector could gather the initial resources. Thanks to that, I managed to buy another collector and a few towers, but the new collectors didn’t move either, so in the end I still lost. It’s a shame the game didn’t work properly, since the core mechanic was clear and quite fun. Good luck with your future projects!chrome_B5Hu4Q951c.png

Guiding Signal by Kevin Meissner 2026-04-21T10:37:38Z

Great game! I like the simplicity of execution combined with the need for logical thinking. 5/5

Combo Cooker by WobbleBlocks 2026-04-22T13:33:11Z

I didn’t play many rounds, but I still appreciated the originality of the idea, the humor, the difficulty, and the sheer amount of game content — outstanding work, you can be proud of it

The Depths Listen by Forik 2026-04-22T00:19:32Z

Well, I’ll add a bit of context about the game. You’re looking at 859 MB uncompressed. The game has pretty decent visuals, and I’ll include a few screenshots so you can better understand what it’s about. The atmosphere is quite oppressive—it seems like some kind of submarine or bunker. Unfortunately, I couldn’t figure out what exactly you’re supposed to do in the game. I wandered around the location a bit, and that’s where my experience ended.UnrealGame-Win64-Shipping_4wuJp7Nhdp.jpg UnrealGame-Win64-Shipping_aggcmHcxp9.jpg UnrealGame-Win64-Shipping_Y4YkkE0Ihh.jpg

Antwork by Thoastbot 2026-04-21T22:19:44Z

Could you please tell me what the controls are here? I wasn’t able to direct my ants no matter what I tried. The most I managed was choosing a direction using the queen, but my ants still couldn’t reach the nearest mushroom. The music is pleasant. I’d really like to be able to play this game.chrome_RMM6W5HdWV.png

WORLD5 by awalone 2026-04-21T20:11:14Z

The best .txt comment on a jam game from a developer that I’ve ever seen. Good luck with your future projects. Maybe you’ll want to try a game engine :D

U.P.L.I.N.K by Gecko64 2026-04-23T16:21:06Z

Great game! The graphics are very simple, but once I understood how the puzzles work, everything immediately clicked. I almost finished it and was about to complete it fully (which is quite rare for jam games), but unfortunately I ran into a bug where tens or hundreds of thousands of signals spawned, and the game froze. Still, it didn’t ruin my impression at all. Very good work.UPLINK_XWqtllOeEZ.png

Beyond The Ridge by evil23 2026-04-21T11:04:20Z

The aiming and shooting were terrible, but I like the overall idea and mood. The alarm sound and the spread of the danger zone worked perfectly, creating a sense of danger

In a puff of smoke by Loki Drams 2026-04-21T10:40:22Z

Data folder not found

Unfortunately, I couldn’t launch the game :(

Super Space Rescue Game by ofoof 2026-04-21T02:13:35Z

Oh! It finally worked. I’ve updated my rating. Thanks for the update!chrome_UkL6VbAzxu.png

STATIC by Solis 2026-04-26T10:46:07Z

It seems the game is a bit lacking in gameplay explanation. I really liked the atmosphere and execution, but unfortunately I didn’t quite understand what I was supposed to do.

Still, it didn’t ruin my overall impression — very nice work!

Islandia by Derek Glennon 2026-04-21T02:38:19Z

GENIUS I actually laughed

RESCUE by Petr Vejchoda 2026-04-22T20:54:38Z

Lol. I managed to find one person, but the game didn’t run very smoothly. Still, I can praise your persistence — keep it upchrome_7KFkxPIPYs.png

Walkietalkie Runnie by mofox 2026-04-22T15:34:24Z

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a way to leave this highway. No matter which route I chose, it was always the same. Still, I was able to appreciate your original approach. Keep it up!

Squeaking For Love by Crak 2026-04-21T16:27:58Z

Oh my god, is that plasticine or clay? The art style… is memorable. Very… original and… uh… eccentric. Lol. Probably the weirdest game I’ve played in this jam. chrome_PoppNRGhaV.jpg

Sea Star by stepa 2026-04-26T11:15:48Z

I didn’t quite understand how to play, but I managed to see a few spoilers by climbing onto a chair and leaning against the wall. Great atmosphere — keep it up! SeaStar_1L97ssZmO4.png

HAYWIRE by hirqshi 2026-04-21T03:12:19Z

Unfortunately, for some reason I couldn’t attack the enemy, but I like your graphics and mood

S.I.G.N.A.L. by BigDippers 2026-04-21T21:19:12Z

Unfortunately, for some reason nothing worked :с I played it on itch.io, and although the game launched, I couldn’t interact with the computers. By the way, the initial hint with explanations only showed up once, and restarting the game or refreshing the page didn’t trigger the gameplay hint script again. I honestly have no idea how that works. That’s a shamechrome_LqhdAvKzPk.png

Signal Spark by Tsaot 2026-04-21T21:05:07Z

Well, jumping between towers was an interesting part of the game, and I also enjoyed watching how NPCs build their movement paths, but aside from that, nothing else really worked properly. So unfortunately, I wasn’t able to fully grasp the idea.

It would be interesting to try again if you plan to release an update

After Light by ZeroX001 2026-04-22T10:36:15Z

Great game! It was a bit hard to navigate, and in my first attempt I died without understanding how it happened, but on my second try I found a way out by following the signal. I saw the anglerfish’s light and decided not to swim toward it, but to keep moving toward the sound of the signal. However, it seems that this wasn’t considered as an alternative outcome. Still, the game does a great job of creating an oppressive atmosphere

SIGBLAST by marks 2026-04-24T12:16:18Z

What a wonderful game. A beautiful interpretation of Fez, I really enjoyed it! I got a bit confused at one point and thought the game was broken, but somehow I managed to move forward and finish the demo. Great idea and execution!chrome_f1Ngz7gLCP.png chrome_8tR8mO4T0K.png

Call For Help by bling 2026-04-24T16:13:39Z

It seems I didn’t fully understand the gameplay. In my first attempt, when I tried to choose where to send the signal, my score was 38. In the second attempt, when I didn’t choose anything and just pressed Enter, the score was 46. Maybe there were some hints in the game about how to find more useful things, but unfortunately I didn’t notice themchrome_cedSAZVpIz.pngchrome_K53ey6LQ4v.png

Herdware Signal by Seravlac 2026-04-21T15:51:47Z

Lol, that twist was unexpected. I like the eerie audio. And although the gameplay was a bit trivial, I still liked your ideachrome_45ETl35sJ3.jpg

Radio Active by kauri J 2026-04-23T09:26:25Z

Unfortunately, for some reason I couldn’t interact with objects, and there was no sound in the game, so I can only evaluate your visual style. I really hope to see an updated, fixed version, because at first glance it immediately made me want to play it!

Signal Machine by skeyven 2026-04-23T09:38:43Z

This is FANTASTIC. At first, the unusual cover caught my attention. Then I read the description and decided to give it a try. And as soon as I launched the game and pressed “jump,” I immediately realized this game is on another level. This is pure gold. Very funny, original, clear, and perfectly fits the theme. Wonderful work — congratulations! P.S.- My car broke a bit, but it didn’t ruin the experience chrome_b6AVUOCHEl.jpg

RadioBattles by PanDuplan 2026-04-25T14:09:01Z

A very simple but wonderful game! The mechanic is very clear, and I managed to win on my second try. For a jam project, this is great work!chrome_kGCFcslmmA.png

Signal Breaker by Wolfy_elite 2026-04-22T14:23:22Z

Cool game! Unfortunately, it’s not optimized for playing on a 4K monitor, so I had to use windowed mode. Still, I really liked your art style—it’s something you don’t often see in modern games

What's Wrong With My Keyboard? by Ch1k0_9kA 2026-04-24T09:20:45Z

Great game! It took me a bit of time to understand the controls and logic, but once I got the idea of how they work, it became much easier. Excellent audio and a clean, unobtrusive visual style. Great work!chrome_yZoca9YoFO.png

Air Signal by MicleFirst 2026-04-19T02:25:03Z

Hello This is my first game jam and my first game. On the first day I didn’t manage to do much, but I’ve already gained a lot of valuable experience. There are still many discoveries ahead.

Air Signal by MicleFirst 2026-04-21T02:30:32Z

@caelestial Thank you very much! I'm especially glad that you appreciated the counter :D It took some time to create it

Air Signal by MicleFirst 2026-04-21T11:37:52Z

@alex-o, thanks! It actually wasn’t a bug :D I just postponed creating the plane destruction scene and later didn’t have time to finish it, so the game continues even at 0 HP.

As you can see, the signal theme isn’t fully explored. The game was supposed to be more story-driven, and the enemy spawning logic was meant to be different, but it ended up a bit simpler

Air Signal by MicleFirst 2026-04-21T14:34:44Z

@tinker1175 Thanks! It’s really nice to hear that :3

Air Signal by MicleFirst 2026-04-21T14:35:25Z

@judjudson Thank you! Your words are inspiring. The gameplay did turn out a bit too simple and repetitive, but I plan to make new, more interesting games and dedicate more time to polishing them.

Air Signal by MicleFirst 2026-04-21T21:32:16Z

@nullmoxy Thank you for the feedback! <3 Overall, I was planning to make the game more story-oriented, but your point about the variety of weapons and enemies is completely valid. Unfortunately, regarding the 0 HP — I was going to implement that part at the very last moment, but then I ran out of time т.т

Air Signal by MicleFirst 2026-04-21T21:41:17Z

@juanrod707 @someday-not-today @awalone Thank you very much! Even though I didn’t manage to finish the game, I’m glad you liked the atmosphere

Air Signal by MicleFirst 2026-04-21T21:41:19Z

@artemget Thank you! Yes, unfortunately, this issue exists in the game. I hope it didn’t ruin your overall impression of it

Air Signal by MicleFirst 2026-04-23T12:47:01Z

@ofoof @andrian @tortoise-181 @stepanoff @yuwei

Thank you very much! Yes, I focused more on polishing the small part of the game I managed to complete. So, unfortunately, the rest of the gameplay didn’t get much attention. Still, I’m glad you appreciated the effort put into the visuals and atmosphere

Air Signal by MicleFirst 2026-04-23T12:47:08Z

@dmitriyci @flowerfield-games @pavlo04

Thank you! Yes, this is indeed my first project. It turned out much worse than I hoped, but much better than I expected, lol. I’m glad you appreciated my efforts! I’ll definitely keep improving my skills

Air Signal by MicleFirst 2026-04-26T11:46:12Z

@korzhik Thank you! I’m really glad you liked it! I’ll definitely finish working on the game and share a link to the updated version :)

Air Signal by MicleFirst 2026-04-26T11:49:45Z

@1de, @mekuire, @uroborei Thank you! I really put quite a lot of effort into the visuals. Going forward, I also plan to work on the gameplay to make the game more engaging.

@panduplan Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I’ll try to take that into account so that shots feel more impactful on enemies. I had also already drawn explosion sprites, but didn’t manage to implement them in time.

Air Signal by MicleFirst 2026-04-26T12:01:11Z

@mokabread @fadingdreamstories Thank you! I’m glad you noticed the damage system, as well as my attempt to make the gameplay more immersive. I spent quite some time working on that. Of course, I had way more ideas than I could implement, and I definitely should’ve paid more attention to the gameplay. I’ll try to take these mistakes into account when working on the game in the future :3

Air Signal by MicleFirst 2026-04-26T12:18:32Z

@kukaracila215, @irkar Thank you for the feedback UwU I’ll do my best to make the final version much more interesting

Air Signal by MicleFirst 2026-05-02T14:07:20Z

@caelestial, @alex-o, @tinker1175, @judjudson, @nullmoxy, @juanrod707, @someday-not-today, @awalone, @artemget, @ofoof, @dmitriyci, @flowerfield-games, @andrian, @tortoise-181, @pavlo04, @theoconfidor, @stepanoff, @yuwei, @uroborei, @korzhik, @fadingdreamstories, @mokabread, @1de, @mekuire, @panduplan, @irkar, @kukaracila215, @nondev, @jk5000, @kahztein, @venomousmouse

Thank you to everyone who played my test version of the game! <3 Right now I’m working on turning it into a full arcade shooter. If you’re interested in following the development process, feel free to follow me on Twitter: https://x.com/MicleFirst

Resonance Protocol by PudinKiller 2026-04-22T14:24:57Z

The controls are a bit awkward, but I can appreciate your original take on such a classic genre as tower defense. Nice work!

Signals of God by Geeni 2026-04-21T17:27:53Z

It seems like we’ve found a winner. Everything in this game is excellent — the organ music, the cries of the monkey, the visual style, and the atmosphere. I truly love it

Void Signal by Kandvise 2026-04-21T16:07:52Z

Oh, I like your conceptual approach. The music was also really great up until the enemies started attacking. That high-pitched noise is quite unpleasant and slightly hurt the experience, but the overall idea and visual choices are really cool

Signal Path by Caelestial 2026-04-21T13:38:26Z

Unfortunately, the controls didn’t work, so I couldn’t really play properly, but I did appreciate your art style!

Save the Cat by Andrian 2026-04-22T14:16:43Z

I managed to complete this game. It was an unpleasant experience—but don’t get me wrong, that’s actually a sign of good game design for your idea. The limited visibility and the threat from zombies created tension, so the discomfort felt appropriate. Unfortunately, the zombie movement wasn’t quite right, and they couldn’t enter rooms, which left a lot of safe zones on each floor. Still, my overall impression of the game is positive. I also like your intro—it sets the right mood right away. Great job!

The Echo by radioboos 2026-04-21T16:16:52Z

Wow, really cool pixel art. I’d gladly play a full game with visuals like this. There was a funny bug where the bullets changed direction mid-flight, but overall the impression is very positive.Signal_cdod1COTbp.png

Last One Alive Leave The Light On by FadingDreamStories 2026-04-21T13:55:32Z

Well, I tried playing, but ran into a few issues. My mouse sensitivity was extremely high, and the field of view was veeeery limited. I tried to solve the puzzles, but couldn’t figure out how they worked. I did like the visual style, but unfortunately the game didn’t run well

Lethal Signal by NullMoxy 2026-04-21T14:03:15Z

It seems like this game is too genius for me. I tried to do something, but all my actions kept leading to detonation. The concept is pretty good though — I can appreciate your idea

Lethal Signal by NullMoxy 2026-04-21T15:08:29Z

@nullmoxy Yes, of course. Unfortunately, my English is not very good, and it was difficult for me to understand all the instructions. I tried to figure it out on my own several times, but without success

Radio Beacon 34 by 3blackpixels 2026-04-21T22:02:47Z

You have incredibly appealing visuals! On the downside, I’d point out the rather unpleasant alarm sound. It was quite distracting while I was trying to figure out the controls. Overall, the concept looks great

Signal wave path, NEW VERSION by valb soares 2026-04-25T14:41:23Z

I tried playing the game. Unfortunately, it seems it’s not working quite correctly. I explored the area and tried to understand how the puzzle works. I got attacked by bugs and decided to restart, but when I started a new run, my health didn’t reset. I wandered around a bit more, but when my health dropped to zero, I couldn’t start a new game anymore T_T I liked the visual style. I hope you update it later. Still, it’s a good attemptGyPBG3vA4k.jpg
