Good mix of mechanics. And actually fun. Could use more commands, probably, such as a some bigger attack (with a long name).

Hey, I try to play this game but I don't understand what I have to do.

This is what I see:

@loig looks like your browser blocking localization .json files. can you tell me which browser do you use? also try to play the game on github: click link here

I use Firefox. I have the same result when following the link to Github.

this is pretty great. got a pretty good rhythm into it and stopped at 31 because i gotta get back to work.

Nice job tying together gameplay and text into a story. Not a big fan of the faint CRT lines yet the SFX were quite satisfying.

The text doesnt show for me on either site :(

Game looks very good and it keeps me in fore almost 10 minnutes of intestive play until my fingers can't keep press the commands :) I can't say there is anny bug, at least i didn't find/notice. From my side this is what I'm expecting from signal game. Your game is great. Maby just make sam wave attack or make some changes in speed of attack/bigger enemmeis which must be shooted at least twice etc. Thanks for your game, Well done :)

working so hard on localization fix guys, keep in touch

@loig @mezaka now text is on english if .json request failed, pls try it, did it work normal now?

@rezonanc hmmm still looks the same to me

It is still the same for me…

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

Ohhh finally a game where my terminal skills come in handy! Love the idea, really satisfying to scan, move around the grid and hearing that crisp explosion sound after every `fire` command. One QoL addition I would request: make the numbers in the movement commands optional. If the number is ommitted, just move 1 cell in specified direction. Also would be nice if the game explicitly said that it's paused when you are viewing emails, because at first I rushed to read through them. Or you could split the game into runs and show emails between them. Really cool concept overall and I can see how it could be greatly expanded with new commands and enemies!

@loig @mezaka ok guys i hardcode this shit. im not really sure it will work now, cuz i cant reproduce the problem i installed 5 different browsers for it. you guys my only way to make sure this fixed for now

@rezonanc I even deleted my chrome cache and tried firefox, but cant get it to run :/

@mezaka what do you see? nothing? you are on itch? try to incognito mode so you dont need to clear cache, or press ctrl + f5

@rezonanc I see the weird 0. Tried icognito mode as well. Not sure why it is broken.


i think i got this. trying to fix

@mezaka im very sorry for asking you too much times but for now it should be 100000% fixed. if not i leave programming and go work in the fields

Typing into the terminal is extremely satisfying once the commands get recorded in muscle memory, so there's a lot of potential for expansion here. Visually it already looks like a full game. Aliases for navigation commands (e.g. Back=Exit/Quit) would be good QoL. I ran the game on Brave with no issues.

@alaah thank you a lot for your walkthrough, i add to discription list of additional commands as you say and i discover a bug with email system so im going to fix this thank you

@rezonanc It does work now!!! Thanks! Its cool! Quite the polished game :open_mouth: Kinda fun to type a long string and then see it being executed!

Visuals looks very cool. Liked you art from the beginning. Game design looks interesting too, really enjoyed your game

(Оч крутой проект ребята, молодцы реально. Понятия не имею, как вы это сделали за 3 дня. Механики и визуал выглядят консистентно вместе, у игры общий вайб создаётся, все классно работает, молодцы!!!)

ура я всё же прошёл её)
пока что это наверное самая уникальная игра с точки зрения управления которую я видел на этом лд, и на самом деле игра заставляет задуматься, особенно после вашего комментария под моей игрой думаю я понимаю что действительно хотел сказать автор. игра действительно интересная, хоть и не сразу я понял как правильно вводить команды)
единственный недостаток который я бы мог подметить это то что игра немного растянута (в плане того что на протяжении всей игры надо выполнять одно и тоже, без добавления новых комманд или типов врагов), но стоит отметить что если учитывать сюжет в итоге эта растянутость и выполнение одной и той же работы больше влияет на погружения, и ещё сильнее заставляет задуматься над происходящим в игре

I liked this a ton. Just the right length for the complexity of the game. The typing felt superb, the sound feedback from the key presses made you feel like you were using some old machine. Thanks for making this!

I was finally able to play. Thanks for taking the time to handle the problem.

The game is nice, the sound when typing is very relaxing.

I don't know if it should end at some point but I think I did pretty good job on middle horizontal line and stopping the enemies. My wrists hurt now but at least I got to try some typing game finally. Stylized and really fun!

damn guys this typing is so good. i want to play it more gg
or its better to say - zayebis igra chuvaki

Игр очень интересная по геймплею из-за того, что у тебя есть радар, по которому ты передвигаешься с помощью консольных команд, сами механики интересны, визуал хороший, саунд дизайн сделан хорошо, также геймплей интуитивно понятен, а если вдруг ты не понял присутствует подробное описание каждой команды справа, из минусов хотелось бы отметить, что эта игра в браузере, а не файлом и то, что враги очень быстро двигаются в твою сторону(просто сегодня я казуал, мне лень быстро печатать).

Great sound effects and all the mechanics seemed to work as advertised.

Good length, told a concise story.

I'm a sucker for terminals and computer UIs and this one nailed the terminal feel very well.

Nice job!

Glad I got here after the issues were all solved because this is awesome.

Graphically this is excellent. Minimalistic but really well executed.

The audio is great, I absolutely love the keyboard noises.

I am a really fast typer and have played a ton of TELNET MUDs in my time, so playing this was really tactile for me. Jumping around the arena once you get a feel for how far away you are from stuff is really satisfying.

Really good work on the little narrative touches as well. Broke up the gameplay nicely and was all well written.

Great work.

great mood for this great game idea :stars: GJ ! :heart:

Super fun I love the sound effects! typing is very satisfying. quite a fun unique entry
Thanks for sharing !

type: loved it so much! congrats. the mood was excellent

Very cool game, nice visuals, somewhat similar to Mike Klubnik’s project, Good Game

very very very nice and polished! super exciting!

the game mechanics are very interesting! The main screen is very well designed. It took me a while to figure out the controls, but it's a minor issue. The game is very atmospheric and well-made!

This game is slow. It is a sparse display. And it's pure art. What a good entry. The visuals were all great. You emulated the old terminal screens so well and the narrative was excellent paired with the limited inputs.

Really neat looking game. "Simple" yet fitting art! Took me a moment to realized it is not turned based and I need to typed stuff faster. Also nice to see a game jam with a story in it. Well done.
