I didn\u2019t really get it\u2014I even wanted to complain. It seemed like a weird connection to the theme\n(though I should note, the visuals are amazing).\n\nThen the next phase kicked in\u2014I realized it\u2019s actually a fun, addictive incremental game.\n\nAfter that, I tried to break the game and ended up looping the bonus plants. I noticed that this case is actually handled\u2014there\u2019s a cap of 64 signals (which is great) for basic plants. Though I didn\u2019t fully understand how it works, since with other chains it can go up to 512.\n\nFor a long time, I didn\u2019t notice the numbers above the door acting as a global goal.\nHonestly, replacing plants\/creatures is very \u043d\u0435\u0443\u0434\u043e\u0431\u043d\u043e. You have to check first, then delete, then go pick a new one. It would be much more convenient to:\n\npick what you want\ngo to the desired spot\nreplace it\nThis whole \u201cyou can\u2019t pick it up because there are no free slots\u201d thing feels unnecessary.\n\nContinuing that point: to reach a million, you basically have to remove everything and rebuild properly from scratch. You can\u2019t reposition already placed, purchased objects. Sure, you can rotate them, but major mistakes with expensive plants can happen right at the start.\nFor me, even 100k would\u2019ve been more than enough as a target.\n\nI also felt there was a lack of tools or objects for intercepting signals outside of plants. Yes, you can run around the room catching them with the phone\u2014but that becomes tedious in the later stages.\n\nOverall though, it\u2019s really enjoyable. And the fact you made this in three days is genuinely impressive. I\u2019m just sharing my experience\u2014thanks for it.\n\nOh, and one more thing. I left the game running in the background to farm signals. When I came back a couple of hours later, I had reached over a million. I opened the door and\u2026 nothing. I was about to get annoyed, but it turned out the game had just frozen.\n\nThe catharsis hit when I took the elevator down and saw THAT. And honestly, in that complex farm setup, I would\u2019ve liked to interact with it a bit more. I get that it\u2019s more of a joke\u2014and a way to show how far the game could theoretically expand\u2014which is great. So yeah, you definitely achieved the intended effect.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld59\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/kenforest.itch.io\/signal-garden","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"66117","g_author":"1235694","g_event":"LD59","g_eventkey":"113","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"284869","g_title":"Signal Garden","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"1","g_commentcount":"24","g_site2_node_id":"424364","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"424364","n_urlkey":"284869","n_parent":"424249","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/59\/signal-garden-2","n_slug":"signal-garden-2","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"235694","n_created":"0","n_modified":"0","n_version":"1367409","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"id":424364,"parent":424249,"_superparent":9,"author":235694,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2026-04-21T00:58:20Z","created":"2026-04-05T10:49:35Z","modified":"2026-05-07T10:13:21Z","_trust":5,"version":1367409,"slug":"signal-garden-2","name":"Signal Garden","body":"![Screenshot_1667.png](\/\/\/raw\/ea8\/93\/z\/71f36.png)\n\n**Signal Garden**\n\nA small dark incremental game set in a deep underground garden within a megastructure.\n\nYou grow plants and collect signals from them.\nCreate chains of plants to amplify signals, unlock new species, and buy creatures to increase their efficiency.\n\nControls\n- Move - wasd\n- Interact - lmb\/e\n- Collect signals - hold lmb\n- Send signals - hold rmb\n- Remove plant\/creature - r\n\n![Screenshot_1670.png](\/\/\/raw\/ea8\/93\/z\/71f3a.png)\n\n![Screenshot_1668.png](\/\/\/raw\/ea8\/93\/z\/71f3b.png)","scope":"public","node-timestamp":"2026-04-21T14:01:52Z","meta":{"author":[235694],"grade-07-out":"1","grade-06-out":"1","link-01-tag":[42337],"link-01":"https:\/\/kenforest.itch.io\/signal-garden","cover":"\/\/\/content\/ea8\/93\/z\/71f49.png"},"meta-timestamp":"2026-05-07T10:13:21Z","path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/59\/signal-garden-2","parents":[1,5,9,424249],"files":[],"files-timestamp":0,"love":0,"comments":24,"comments-timestamp":"2026-05-06T12:51:36Z","grade":{"grade-01":31,"grade-02":31,"grade-03":31,"grade-04":31,"grade-05":33,"grade-08":32},"magic":{"cool":19.665714619401,"feedback":0,"given":0.875,"grade":31.5,"grade-01-average":4.586,"grade-01-result":1,"grade-02-average":4.138,"grade-02-result":39,"grade-03-average":4.276,"grade-03-result":26,"grade-04-average":4.621,"grade-04-result":11,"grade-05-average":4.758,"grade-05-result":6,"grade-08-average":4.6,"grade-08-result":6,"smart":-83.670068381445},"_wayback":{"timestamp":"20260510152423","url":"https:\/\/api.ldjam.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/424364+425855+430518+429925+425682+428166+426462+430882+429917+429672+429922+425761+426633+429431+430903+428195+425721+430533+428139+425868+428836+429899+424725+426129"}},"text":"![Screenshot_1667.png](\/\/\/raw\/ea8\/93\/z\/71f36.png)\n\n**Signal Garden**\n\nA small dark incremental game set in a deep underground garden within a megastructure.\n\nYou grow plants and collect signals from them.\nCreate chains of plants to amplify signals, unlock new species, and buy creatures to increase their efficiency.\n\nControls\n- Move - wasd\n- Interact - lmb\/e\n- Collect signals - hold lmb\n- Send signals - hold rmb\n- Remove plant\/creature - r\n\n![Screenshot_1670.png](\/\/\/raw\/ea8\/93\/z\/71f3a.png)\n\n![Screenshot_1668.png](\/\/\/raw\/ea8\/93\/z\/71f3b.png)","title":"Signal Garden","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"timestamp":"20260510152423","url":"https:\/\/api.ldjam.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/424364+425855+430518+429925+425682+428166+426462+430882+429917+429672+429922+425761+426633+429431+430903+428195+425721+430533+428139+425868+428836+429899+424725+426129"}}
