Wow, the artwork is amazing! Really well done. So heres my feedback:

What is amazing:
- The artwork (obviously)
- The game play does make sense and is easy to learn and not simple to master
- The signal theme is beautifully captured

What felt off:
- The settings menu didnt work (yet?)
- I wish there were more info on this works, I only learned by a lot of trial and error, which just used my lifes

Overall impressive entry, cheers!

Wow, the graphics are amazing! The mood of this game is really super, and nice job on explaining math and waves... It would be so cool to learn how sinus waves add in school like this!!!

Nice artwork! I really like the whole concept with the matching waves and the way the signals are combined.

This seemed so well thought out and done - I'm really impressed.
Can I ask - was the graphics done for the jam and was it AI generated? If not .. I'm REALLY impressed... and a little enviouos....
Feel free to swing by and give me a rating as well... :smile:

Cool idea.

It's a little difficult to understand which wave comes first when there's more than one.

I couldn't get past stage 8.

Congratulations.

Really cool idea with matching the waves! The art is great, though I'm also curious if it's entirely human made or not. My score is 690.

The game's art is amazing, congratulations. The level progression is good, but complex. I think it lacked background music to help me relax while playing for a long time, haha.

Very cool! I got stuck on level 8, I couldn't tell what to do to fix the wave. Love the graphics and sfx!!

The way this game interprets the theme is spot on and feels very intentional. The gameplay loop is engaging and kept me on edge the whole time. I loved the visual style you went with; it fits the mood of the jam perfectly. Great job on putting together such a polished and immersive experience!

I was unable to get past level eight on several tries, but I really enjoyed this concept. The overall mood is great and the soundscape was very fitting. An introduction with some lore, like the nice game over screen you had, would have helped sell the immersion a bit better maybe. Also, when switching to full-screen, some UI elements move out of place in a weird way.
This is a fun and nerdy game I would like to play around with in a sandbox setting without losing lives :)

Dang, thats a cool menu! This has been a really polished entry, the difficulty curve felt right and the puzzles were fun to check out. Like fabelay said, it would've been nice if there was more information on what was wrong, but I made do with trying things out until I got it.

As you can see in the screenshot, when you make the game full screen, the score on the title screen is out of place as well as the life counter has an image in front of it through the little window on the top right.

The actual game seems fine graphically, this just seems to be on the title screen.

Game was fun and challenging, probably the most literal interpretation of the theme I've seen so far. Graphics were nice. While I've seen some people say they'd like background music, not sure I agree, because it might mess with your perception of hearing the signal when you play it back to see how close you are to correct. Fun game!

Great UI design! I really enjoyed the puzzles and experimenting with how the signals combine.
