LD59 — Signal

Zigna Down by tukisboolukis 2026-04-25T08:56:51Z

It feels a bit clunky, but looks really good 😄

Making Megahertz by killthealias 2026-04-24T07:01:39Z

Cool puzzle. The only thing missing is a clearer indication of the coverage area. There is light, but it’s a bit hard to see!

Alien Signal by jan5366x 2026-04-21T11:09:03Z

It plays well, but honestly it could use a bit more upgrade variety. But thanks for making it 😊

Artificial Invaders by slay a stone 2026-04-20T20:25:27Z

I really liked the sound design, the game is fun, but also quite hardcore

Light Signal by Anatei 2026-04-25T09:52:41Z

Damn, I once had a very similar idea for a game. But I really liked how you made it. It looks very cool, it plays well too. And the idea is cool. Cool. Thank you, well done

Licence to Fine by IndigoWolf 2026-04-21T00:15:57Z

Cool idea with working with the "oscillograph". From the problems as for me it is very hard to hit the phase correctly. I would like there to be not sliders but some kind of digital switches with arrows. Anyway, thanks, it is cool

FIRE WALK WITH ME by Fadex 2026-04-25T10:07:26Z

It plays great, just missing the ability to pat the plush monkey on the table😄

Traffic by Matt Swieboda 2026-04-24T06:41:52Z

God, I almost died when I first heard the siren. But the game itself is quite interesting and, surprisingly, fun. Even if the controls are not the most convenient, it’s still cool. Thank you

Switchboard Operator by CaptainSpoof 2026-04-20T21:43:44Z

Cool, I liked it, it only lacks some kind of instant indication that you connected the wires correctly

Wave Rider by Sariiger 2026-04-22T02:12:23Z

A fun take on Flappy Bird, and the music is great 😄

Iron Maiden by VladImperator 2026-04-22T14:16:43Z

The controls felt a bit strange at first, but I ended up liking it. Same goes for the visuals, they really enhance the atmosphere

The Abyss by TureGrappa 2026-04-20T22:37:15Z

Cool, it reminds of old games on the phone. In general, the idea is not bad, it could be greatly expanded by adding more complex controls related to physics, adding possibly weapons and all that stuff

Forlornicon - Shoopert's Weird Dream by Trexxak 2026-04-25T09:05:36Z

Looks cool, I love 2.5D. It is a bit hardcore, especially the boss. But it plays fun. The only thing is that I would move the advance button from Enter somewhere closer to the left hand

SingAll by Bassilij 2026-04-23T10:42:03Z

I didn’t fully understand how it connects to the jam theme, but it’s quite fun to play. Nice game. I also liked that you put effort into the post processing, well done

Haberdashery Rhythm Assault by Asieke 2026-04-20T21:58:10Z

Untitled-11.png Nice, but scissors are really hard to counter😅

RESCUE by Andrey Angaev 2026-04-22T16:35:23Z

Cool world, it really reminded me of Zen from Half Life 1 or Black Mesa, probably closer to Half Life 1. Very atmospheric and plays well, though it took me quite a while to figure out what I was supposed to do

Hijack Waves by JuanRod707 2026-04-20T22:47:13Z

Heeey this is Defcon, It slightly lacks dynamics, but overall it plays well Fix please so that when clicking on the unit icon the unit that is currently under control does not perceive it as a command

Man On Fire by debugman18 2026-04-25T09:41:31Z

Great surreal story. Even though I liked it, I honestly got stuck at the part where you have to start the ritual, even after trying to finish the game twice. Thanks

Beacon of Hope by Mascoll 2026-04-20T22:47:52Z

"You do not have access to this page"

Beacon of Hope by Mascoll 2026-04-20T23:43:24Z

@mascoll I really liked the visuals. Extremely interesting and unusual execution. But to be honest, I did not even understand how to light the campfire. No matter how much I tried to point this shaking match at the fire pit, both in the open and closed state, it kept falling back

Beacon of Hope by Mascoll 2026-04-21T00:22:04Z

@mascoll Ah, I did not understand at all that the bushes in the background on the first screen can be cut. Now we will play

Faros by Korpilintu 2026-04-20T23:37:04Z

A not bad idea and work with atmosphere. Yes, there is a lot that can be improved. But you did well 🙂

Signal Blast: Alien Shooter by udfblr 2026-04-21T12:46:21Z

Actually an interesting idea to make enemies necessary for your own survival. And jumps are funny. Thank 😄

DISCONNECTED by Allax 2026-04-21T11:18:45Z

This is pure joy. I love this kind of weird stuff

1100 Fish by Reo_Silmetal 2026-04-20T21:36:32Z

The link to the game does not open

Morse Defense by ZenithStar 2026-04-24T06:34:01Z

Very cool idea of such a printing simulator. I always dreamed to learn to work with a teletype :smiley: . It is even surprising how hardcore it is. Cool.

Trash Friends by Axodo 2026-04-21T10:59:38Z

Quite a cute game. I always liked this type of puzzles in games with lasers and mirrors. Thank you 😄

Do-roidhicky by Jacobloon 2026-04-22T03:36:27Z

I love the unique control design a bit hardcore, but a fun, cool game :robot:

Hubble Horticulture by Soothsayer 2026-04-24T06:28:16Z

Cool idea to combine seemingly incompatible mechanics. I liked it. The style is nice too

Sea Star by stepa 2026-05-08T00:09:44Z

Scanner Sombre + Iron Lung is a really cool idea to combine together. I liked it, thank you.

BRAIN IN A BOTTLE by milu raien 2026-04-22T14:23:42Z

Oh, my game is also maze based. Cool trippy atmosphere. I love this kind of arthouse stuff. Thanks

Lasing & Aligns (Run in Browser) by ufen 2026-04-22T02:33:38Z

Amazing atmosphere in both the first and second game. The visuals, sound, and writing really set the mood. Thanks

Office Space by KZw 2026-04-25T10:03:56Z

Yeah, it really feels like Pepper's Place, but during a bad trip. 5/5 I loved it. Thanks

SILENTIUM by Shram 2026-05-07T23:58:08Z

Despite the problematic collision physics, you can actually see that a lot of work was put into Quality of Life features. In particular, the camera movement inside the car is noticeably done right. Very cool and atmospheric. And the music is great too. (I didn’t figure out how to insert the cassette, but something was playing on the radio). Thank you.

Tracking by Sound by imeng 2026-04-21T12:31:32Z

The style carries hard. But when you play blind, it is somewhat hard to understand in which direction the exit is in general, and you have to vacuum the location. But the style really carries. 121.png

Mom, I'm In Space - MIIS by Eden_Zorro 2026-04-22T03:46:19Z

Interesting work with physics and a funny art style. Asteroids attracting to you that is of course yes 😄

Planchette by Accelerate0814 2026-04-24T06:56:35Z

Yeah, the controls have some quirks. But there’s a nice atmosphere, and I’d say it has an old school feel. I remember playing similar games back in the Flash days. Nice, thanks

Planchette by Accelerate0814 2026-04-24T09:04:37Z

@accelerate0814 No, it is just not very convenient. For example, when you use a phone, you need two hands to move with arrows and space, and on top of that you also need a third hand to click somewhere with the mouse at the same time. It’s not critical, just inconvenient and a bit annoying

NORTH-5 by rezonanc 2026-04-20T21:27:37Z

Прикольная игра. Отлично выглядит и играется. Напомнила одну из мини-игр из КР-2.

Signal Loop by SMOLBIGBY 2026-05-08T00:03:17Z

Cool puzzle game. The only thing missing is the ability to speed it up a little bit. Thank you.

Shadow of The Deep: Wild Hunt by YadEnergy 2026-04-24T06:49:08Z

The game definitely needs some polish, and I’m sure you’re already aware of that, but you can really tell that effort was put into the pacing and atmosphere. It’s also cool that you put effort into adding settings

Treaty by Nidoprince 2026-04-21T11:24:49Z

Just add a division editor and it’ll be HOI4 😄

Signal Machine by skeyven 2026-05-07T23:37:36Z

Hey this is FAR :smile:. Very cool. Besides the fact that it was intentionally made in a very stylish way, some of the physics glitches even add charm to the game. Thank you.

LEAVE by Kwetka 2026-04-20T20:19:04Z

Неплохая идея и общая атмосфера, но я не понял зачем вы добавили выносливость.

RedFlag:SOS by ReiMi 2026-04-21T10:54:53Z

It’s fun how you interpreted the signal theme. I think the pacing could use some work, but it’s still very cute and beautifully drawn. Have a salad 🥗

Zyntrax by Cams 2026-04-20T21:50:05Z

The link to the game does not open

Zyntrax by Cams 2026-04-21T10:03:15Z

@cams I played it. A funny side scroller. It suggests that you should also go up, trying to catch a better signal 😄

Resonance Protocol by PudinKiller 2026-04-21T10:35:37Z

At first it seemed that this is one of those puzzles with lasers and mirrors. It turned out that I was not so far from the truth. 😄 A very interesting combination of this with Tower Defense. Thank you. The only thing is that it really lacks some clearer indication of the signal strength at this specific point

USS SONAR by carterjbx 2026-04-20T21:46:10Z

It is very hard to understand what to do here. but when you understand it is quite good :)

Read My Signal by Shivvvy 2026-04-21T12:57:49Z

An interesting reinterpretation of Morse code and beautiful art 😄

Dorm Manager by zj798164639 2026-04-20T23:14:29Z

A very unusual and interesting idea, but the execution could definitely use some work. I’d actually suggest going for a fully top-down view to make controlling them more comfortable. Or switching to an isometric perspective instead. Either way, thanks — it was interesting.

Signal-Tied by Mr. Flower 2026-04-20T21:54:49Z

A fun roguelike in an old style, it slightly lacks refinement of the dynamics and larger locations

i love you, too by tolviere 2026-04-22T01:59:22Z

The idea of the game itself is quite obvious, but I liked how it is made. I don’t know if it is intentional or not, but I had the feeling that the wave parameters are discrete by rotation. This is a very correct approach. Plus I liked the work with text. Pretty good, thanks.

Rat Signal by Podrez 2026-04-20T22:50:14Z

@mountaingoose Thanks for the playing and the feedback 🙂

Rat Signal by Podrez 2026-04-20T22:50:35Z

@relbiboltik I wanted to add a snake 🙂 Maybe later. I have some ideas on how to expand the game, but to be honest, I’m not sure I’ll continue working on it

Rat Signal by Podrez 2026-04-21T01:38:41Z

@nidoprince Thanks for the feedback and for playing 😄

Rat Signal by Podrez 2026-04-21T10:00:53Z

@zj798164639 This is the first time I hear about it. I will need to try it

Rat Signal by Podrez 2026-04-21T10:04:38Z

Rat Signal by Podrez 2026-04-22T02:25:16Z

@udfblr Thanks Смешарик 😄

@Sariiger Thanks glad that you appreciated it

@juanrod707 Thanks, that was the idea 🙃

@skeyven Хе хе скавен оставил отзыв на крысу, на сама деле озвучка переговоров даже чуть более заморочена чем можно подумать, если кто нибудь догадается откуда я нарезал сэмплов, надо будет ему какой-нибудь приз придумать

@peterlebagarreur Yeah, good question, why didn’t I add that? 🤔🤔🤔 Thanks for the feedback!

Rat Signal by Podrez 2026-04-22T03:30:23Z

Thank you very much @ufen :hearts:

Rat Signal by Podrez 2026-04-24T06:38:41Z

@shivvvy @andrey-angaev @vladimperator @0kura018 @catanus

Thanks for the kind feedback, it’s really nice to receive it

As for the amount of content, I tried to make the game feel complete, and I only had three days. Maybe I’ll expand it in the future. I have some ideas for new mazes and other puzzles

Rat Signal by Podrez 2026-05-07T23:26:50Z

@venomousmouse @discomorphine @sledzik @apt-prose7 @smolbigby @alexanrd @chimpoka @bassilij Thank you very much for the feedback. Sorry I didn’t reply right away, I got a little sick. Maybe someday I actually will continue developing the game, but at least first I need to finish Fool’s Trigger.

@allax I didn’t really understand what you mean. You can’t press the button until the mouse reaches the point. And when you press the direction selection button, the mouse runs there and looks by itself. That’s why you need the TVs that show it.

Rat Signal by Podrez 2026-05-12T21:57:04Z

@anszwaThanks @tsaot for the nice feedback, guys.

So, I guess 185th place is good? I don’t know, what do you think?

Also, if anyone here isn’t too lazy, leave some kind of comment on the game’s Itch page. I honestly don’t know whether Itch promotes games based on comments, but...

1000ms by sodaman 2026-04-20T23:48:13Z

A cool idea and little music. I liked it, it is quite fun to play. The only thing is, please add the ability to move left on A, right on D, and jump on W
