SIGNALOOSE by JohnDare

[raw]
made by JohnDare for Ludum Dare 59 (JAM)

(if html is broken see here https://john-io.itch.io/signaloose)

I FORGOT TO MAKE A PAUSE MENU! If a game appears to freeze, press Escape to unpause it

Explore a cave with an echolocation based drone. Recover lost drones and previous failed attempts at locating and acquiring a Very Cool Artifact:tm:!

ZERO SIGHT

ZERO FUN

RAGEBAIT GUARANTEED

NO BULLSHIT

(Intro and outro were HELLA rushed. Key effort was put in gameplay / navigation mechanics.)

speaking of

  • ZOXEL - graphics
  • JohnDare (you)* - programming

(try finding goku)

I flew around the cave for five minutes and found some signals but didnt understand the goal...
What are the arrows pointing to?

arrows are pointing to objectives. some may appear behind walls but they're 100% reachable you just gotta fly around enough

I spent 15 minutes learning how to fly, and my stats were something like 1/36 :D
I guess flying drones just isn’t my thing))

I probably would’ve pushed it to 1/50))) But the game froze after I Alt-Tabbed at this point:

The flight mechanics are interesting, and although I found it a bit hard to see the right route, I enjoyed it overall)

The game is hard to control, understand, play etc. but I assume that's the point. Wasn't entertaining at all to be honest, but the presentation was really nice. It executed its atmosphere very well.

Honestly, no offense, but I completely don’t understand how to play 😅
