A creative concept! I think this is the most theme-focused work you could possibly make starting from Signal. It also offers great player freedom and lots of interactive elements. While this does increase the difficulty somewhat, it brings a strong sense of freshness.
It's surprisingly immersive, the voice work really pulls you in, and the tutorial is super thorough. You can tell the dev had a really clear vision from start to finish. Overall a high quality piece of work.
A creative concept, really reminds me of the kind of cartoons I'd watch as a kid. The alien theme fits the theme perfectly. Really nice design work too.
Really cool art, it's got a vibe all its own. The management sim stuff mixed with this theme makes the whole idea way more interesting. Took me a minute to figure things out at first, but once it clicked I was totally into it.
A really fun puzzle game that strikes a great balance between playfulness and tension. It's easy to grasp what's going on in the space and just start doing things, and it leaves you wanting more. It looks simple on the surface, but once you play you can really feel all the care and effort the developer put into it.
Such cute comic linework and such lively animations! Everything from the story and sound effects to the characters is absolutely adorable, and it nails the theme perfectly. There's even a little shop tucked in there. Just a joy to play.
The comic intro is really engaging and the little reaction faces on the dialogue options are adorable. Watching the professor slowly go from zero to full on red faced was hilarious. The whole "signal" concept here is super context dependent, but if you're a college student, you feel it all the time. Very relatable, nice work.
Omg, the art and narrative completely blew me away, can't believe this concept came together in such a short time. And the use of sign language to fit the theme is brilliant. I got totally lost in that stage-like atmosphere. Pure genius.
Playing as a fire ant feels super fresh, and I really loved the ambient sound design. Every time I spotted a spider I got a little tense, but thankfully the combat's pretty forgiving. A really solid, creative effort!
The art in this game has such great atmosphere! I especially love the design of the bat's different sound waves. The controls are a bit complex, so it's definitely challenging.
A fun concept! The way students have their own movement speed and the signals they respond to really makes me think and strategize. I kept messing up with the fire element every single time… It would just freeze up. But then I saw the comments and realized it can reignite. Overall super fun and really creative!

Good idea with an impressive artistic style. (It's a bit difficult for me, I've always been nervous while playing.)

喜欢外星探索的这个选题，很酷，能看出有许多巧思。画面有自己的风格，怪诞又可爱。背景音乐让人心情宁静。（似乎有点小bug，不知道按了什么直接返回了主界面。）
