Nice combination of a memory and logical puzzle game. Clean, elegant execution. Love the leaderboards setup (wheel rotation feels super retro in a good way).

I love the memory part and the leaderboards. The artwork is also very cute. I must admit, I didn't completely get it the first time. XD

This is a great puzzle game. All the different elements - sound, visuals, execution of mechanics, leaderboard - worked brilliantly together to make something special. The "signal" theme is maybe slightly weak, but I really enjoyed playing this and it's an excellent game. Very nice!

Got stuck on level 4 - is it something I don't get? On the fourth round I clicked the symbol that appeared on start, but it gave me the "wrong" bleep. I could then click another random one ... but is it because I need to remember an old symbol?
Aside from that... really good job - a solid entry where everything seems to click together. Sound fits graphics a nd both fit the gameplay.

Good job - swing by mine if you want... it's pretty janky and not too obvious how to play... :smile:

Rating given - especially liked the visuals and simple concept.

@purpledartfrog for the first 3 levels you have only one symbol to find, then you have sequences of symbols (2 symbols at level 4 but more symbols later on).

Figured as much... but it seemed to only show me one type... maybe it showed it twice... but regardless it did not allow me to pass... other than that I did really like your entry.

Hum, that is odd. Maybe a bug preventing some symbols from appearing? I would be interested in knowing if this happened to anybody else and exactly when. In your case it was just at level 4, right?

That's actually a pretty smart game. The combined challenge to plan out the moves on straight lines between symbols feels fresh.

Ohh, it took me a couple restarts to read the instructions properly, but when I understood it, the game was very enjoyable. I didn't immediately notice the symbol that flashes before the full board so I was confused in the beginning. The art and audio are great!

The presentation is really nice and cute aesthetic, clean visuals, and the audio fits well with the overall style. Everything feels really polished and cohesive.

Overall though, it’s a clean and well-presented éntry. Great work!

Very similar to the hacking minigame in cyberpunk 2077, except you have to memorize the sequence and not forget/miss one accidentally when they're shown :D My mind wandered for a second and it was game over :')

Still, very fun! Good stuff!

Neat twist on Simon says, having to also strategize about the path to take. Great idea!
I lost eventually because I got distracted and wasn't quite ready for the next round. Maybe add a confirmation before showing the next sequence?

Very nice little game! First I was quite confused with the explanation but it was very clear when actually playing. I think in the first round it was helpful, that the first couple of levels had only one symbol. For replaying the first levels were a little boring. Overall I liked it a lot!

Simple but engaging concept. I was expecting to get to enter my name at the end like on old-school arcade machines — it's a shame, that would've been cool. Especially if you made a post with the stats at the end of LD.

@avhatar you enter your name only if you are in the top 8 scores :)

A very unusual game. The graphics and sound are excellent, and they combine to create a unique mood. The interface works very smoothly, and I like the simple rules. I was able to make some progress, but—and this could be my imagination—it seemed like I came across puzzles that had no solution. This appeared to happen around level 7. Perhaps that was my own fault; in any case, it would be good to see the solution shown when the player loses. All in all, one of the better entries here. Nice work.

@gamebuilder in theory, levels should always have solutions: they are generated from a solution… but it may be the case that I made a mistake given the short development time. This is an excellent idea to show the solution at the end when the player did not find it, I would have loved to think of it myself before the end of the jam.

Very cool game! I played several rounds but didn’t make it onto the leaderboard. A really nice interpretation of the theme.

I got last place, and then 2nd and I'm happy with it. XD
It got a bit challenging as the game progressed, but it was fun and I enjoyed it a lot, even despite the fact that my memory isn't the best.
It's a really nice game and the aesthetic is also good, the idea with chalkboard added a lot of charm to it. ♥ Will return and try to beat my best score c:![Zrzut ekranu 2026-04-30 162051.png](///raw/a67/86/z/72f97.png)

Very easy to learn and play. The audio is a nice touch because it helped me remember which tone was which. I kinda think the timer should be longer (or maybe there's an untimed mode for noobs like me) but overall I really loved this unique puzzle game!
