Notgate by Umaiit
Overall
A Sokoban-style puzzle game where you use signals to activate portals!
NOTICE:While the website version also works, the executable version is recommended for you can add and edit maps as you wish and the shaders don't work in the web ver.
How to play
WASD to move; Z to undo; holding Z to undo continously.
R to reset the level.
Commands system embedded in the game, you can type "/xx" to jump to the xx-th level and "/solve" to try to find out whether there is a solution to the current state of the map automatically. The commands are designed to assist with debugging and developing so trying to avoid use it may help you have a better gameplay experience. However, when you got stuck in a level, it would also be helpful to use "/solve" to find out if you were on the right path.
Map editing system
In executable version, the game reads maps under "assets/maps" naming "mapxx.txt" in order and it will returns to "map1.txt" when the game can't find the next map file.
You can ultilize this system to add your own map or edit the existing maps.
More detailed information is written in README.md.

i didnt manage to finish the game, this level is the last i saw .
The one frustration I had is I couldn't find any Restart Level so when I completely messed up I had to spend a long time undoing all my actions.
This was my limit. Level 14, I think.
I think I need to get the repeater to where the rightmost box is, but I just can't find a way to do it.
Anyway, this is a good game. The puzzles are well-designed, which is like, the most important thing. The signal mechanic is a really nice implementation of the theme, and then you build on it with the repeaters, which is excellent. Maybe there are more mechanics for smart people on the later levels, I don't know :'( I don't really want to cheat and peek. Maybe I can do it if I come back to it.
Graphics are basic but clear, no complaints. Oh, one thing, the undo is very welcome but it would be nice to have a key to just restart the level in one keypress.
Why are you an F?
Ah I was wondering that but I think (extrapolating from the name) you're a False signal, trying to become True or something like that?
Thx for playing and thx for ur suggestions. I think i will add the reset button soon.
Actually, 'F' stands for the Fourier operator—it's used a lot in signal processing. lol
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
