this is going to sound weird, but I rate this game very well even thought I suck at it haha. But it has such a cool design, it adheres to the theme, and it's sure as heck is original. I don't have the patience for it haha, but I really appreciated the aesthetic and the theme. and I'm assuming it's actually real legit morse code , so the game is teaching something

Space Is LimitedHey there, I played through some of your game in this video at around 14:35

Zombie GaggleCool concept. I liked the world design with the puzzle built into it. It's just a bit slow - as I'm sure you know from the other comments. Maybe allow a space press or something to repeat the previous command? So that way you can move quickly from one spot to another. I don't think it would need much changed, just a little thing like that. Again, cool idea, nice art style too! It's the sort of game you could lose yourself in and the hours fly by :D

ReflectThank you so much for the comments. I really wanted the commands to be actual morse code so I added the "a"gain command instead of a single dash. I actually had the z button clear the current morse code word in a more complex version of the game (where you had to type 'move' then 'forward' not just 'f'...image how slow that would be!!), then my wife was like..."isn't the whole theme only one...?" lol.
This is amazing, super interesting take on the concept. The gameplay is a little slow paced, but even so I could see myself playing this for hours

Alpha BettaI have to say this idea is very original. I liked the puzzle aspect of the mechanics, it's all really clever and well executed. But I have to say that I think that the gameplay is too slow and cumbersome, you spend more time executing the commands than solving the puzzles themselves. But yeah, seeing that lots of people liked it, maybe it's just me?
Hahaha, anyway, I have to commend your implementation of the concept. It's all very well thought. Congratulations!

Charge Kid (gmtk2019 version)Wow super cool design, I've never done morse-code before. 5 stars!! It was a lot fun trying to get the rhythm right. Also, your UI communicated very well the inputs the player is doing so they can practice and perfect the rhythm. Awesome job! Please check out my entry if you can~ Good day.

Only One ArrowThis will probably be in the top 20 video. Seriously, this is so cool, fun, and original! I just loved it. I had to get used to the controls and how long a dot and dash should be, but I think the only thing that bothered me were the left, right and back controls - it was a bit unintuitive that you automatically move, in my opinion there should only be left and right, and executing them only rotates the character. Still, great game!
Even though I lack patience for this type of game I have to say that I am really impressed by the design, implementation and idea. This game is definitely great and I wish I had the personality to go through it all! :D Maybe one day I'll come back for more.

ONE BUT DWARFYour game is actually making me learn some morse, and hell, that's something!
Apart from that, let's see: we have very blatant adherence to the theme, clever design, great execution. Yep, that's a full score!

Single Digithttps://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=66363#p Here you go...This version has the credits edited to credit my wife's contribution (she had the idea of movement being based on heading)
This really fits the theme! Good job! Never thought I'd use morse code to control a game! Really cool mechanic! I wonder if there would be any way to speed it up at all? Either way, great submission!

Slime CastleCombining the idea of a one button game with writting morse code is brilliant!
The controls are on the tedious side, but it sure is creative!

PizzaHero: Sea of GarbageA little bit tedious to play but it sure is an original idea and executed as well as I can imagine!

Shoot Your Goo!What a great game! Had so much fun (though at first it was a little confusing)
