I love how polished and well presented this game is, really enjoyed it great work! :)
What a creative puzzle game! I love the music, art, and flavor of this game; it feels really polished. Like other players, I got stuck on the splitters/combiners (introduced in level 5), so I wasn't able to advance too far. But the first few levels were fun tutorial levels. The game feel was on-point!
I really like the concept, the art style is nice and the music complements it nicely.
The combiners/splitters for me were very confusing, sometimes the signals wouldn't merge and one would come out all the way back to the emitter on the left side.
I love that the waves actually combine (which admittedly took me a really long time to figure out).
As others have said, the splitters and combiners were really unclear. You just hade to play around with them until they worked, but I never figured out why it worked. It would be really nice to show which pieces are fixed.
Overall I thought this was a clever fit for the theme.
I had a hard time understanding why the splitters & combiners would or wouldn't work. Also, sometimes I could complete one line then remove a part for another, and the level would still complete, even if it was a conference call. Love the little bits of narrative, lots of fun there.
The visuals are amazing and the mechanic is super interesting, would love to see it as a full game exploring that idea a lot more
Super well polished game. I love the visuals, and the music / sound is great, especially that super catchy victory tune.
Really cool game! I got stuck on 12, and I agree about the movable/not movable pieces. It'd be nice to get more hint of what goes where so you're not just fumbling about, especially with combined signals.
This is dope! There are a couple of things that could be changed for clarity, specifically which pieces can be moved/can't be moved, and MAYBE a way to tell which switches should be connected besides context clues. There's a couple of levels (specifically 12) where it's not readily apparent which goes where. But I really really loved this game!
What a fun game, and what an interesting take on the theme! I have been trying to be economical with my time on these games, but this one stole an extremely pleasant hour away from me! Thoroughly enjoyable.
