WaveTrade by Dedioso

[raw]
made by Dedioso for LD36 (JAM)
WaveTrade is a MiniGame.

You play as a city sending ships to a town that is on the other side of a lake. The other city sends you wave signals in form of binary code. You have to interpretate thoose and send the goods back that they want.

I used around 30 hours to create WaveTrade.

It would be great if you could leave feedback and critique!

Have a great day ;)

UPDATE:
I updated the game because the game needed a better tutorial. So here you go.

You've got some spelling mistakes in your intro: "Technologie" should be "Technology", "Citeys" should be "Cities"

Aside from those, this is great! Really cool concept. It's a shame I don't know binary or I'd really enjoy this.

Nice graphics!

I think things are getting cut off in my browser somehow (like on the edges of the screen). You might check if you have a few minutes!

I made a delivery! Love the graphics. I was not able to enter text for the resource unless I was in full screen mode. I struggled with the alphabetical conversions...maybe show the entire list?

Binary code is too much for me. :( Couldn't deliver on one ship. Need a training mode with tips. More tips! The pictures and the sound of the bell is gorgeous. :)

Wow, this game had me think hard ! x)
The art is really great, maybe the tutorial for those who never used binary code should be more detailed.
Nice entry though :)

It seems that the graphics bug for me.
Sadly, I can't play in the web player.

I liked the idea and would have enjoyed seeing some splashing to send messages back but there really were too many issues. First and foremost many things fall outside my screen, both in the view-port (native aspect ratio and size of the game) on itch.io and in full screen mode. Second I think you should be kind enough to the player to have the ABC button translate the by the player input binary into the character. The player can do the math or press the button depending on choice. The button could just append to whatever is written in the notes field (which really should be wrap/multiple lines).

I feel that you should have made it more easier for people to understand the binary, or just use morse code which is easier by using bigger and smaller waves as you have used.
I do like the graphics they are really good and good idea well done.
