The idea is definitely unique, but I don't have a numpad so the game is basically unplayable for me :(

Developer

That's a shame, you can still play with unicode number row or whatever it's called, it's just going to be a little bit harder as you don't have a visual representation of the angles like you would on a numpad. Hey but thanks for even trying the game.

I actually did try that, but translating angles into numnbers into actual signals and back was too much for me

Developer(+1)

Yeah, fair enough.

Absolutely fantastic submission! Art and concept are very unique and really fun!
Not being able to replay the message from the opposing side makes it tough when learning all the controls but is understandable game design wise.
Overall great work!

Developer

Thank you so much!!

My favourite entry so far! I absolutely love the art style; it feels so unique and atmospheric. The game can be challenging, but I think that’s part of the experience. Amazing job, well done!

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you so much. I do agree that the art style is phenomenal, my teammate did a really great job! Thanks again for the review, I'll rate your submission as soon as I can.

I like the idea of translating the messages with the arm gestures. It is very unique.

Is there a way to replay the message they are sending you? Without that the game becomes almost impossible. I could not get too far because of this

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback. I recommend drawing the officer's arm positions like lines on the sticky note and then translating them afterward with the translation sheet. I feel like making the message replayable would kind of ruin the game. Maybe I'll make different difficulties after the jam, thank you for suggesting this.
