It’s quite difficult, though, to aim, keep the target in sight, and look up in the table how to produce the letter you need—all at the same time.
PS Special thanks for the audio settings—this is something many games really lack.
If I had one suggestion it would be to add controller support; I feel that the ability to use an analogue stick would work nicely with the aiming.
@t-c Should have made this clearer, but you can press P to pause and lower the scroll speed to aim more precisely! Takes a bit of fiddling along with the acceleration depending on your mouse :)
That's great! However, the difficulty level of the game is actually a bit too high for me. I'll have to spend some time exploring it.
!> I really like the second last story level, which looks like it is impossible to complete at first, until you realise that one of the entities is (maybe?) a traitor and will destroy its comrades when destroyed itself. Pretty funny twist.
The music really creates an interesting setting and the gameplay is really fun.
Who would have thought that having a big morse table in the center of the screen would be so good in a video game?
