Thanks so much for this! 

Yeah I think some more visual obviousness would be good. I made wrong symbols disappear to try make it clear so that the player wouldnt think to even lok for them

I agree on sound! That was all last minute for me. I think I could have done a thing where, after the signal has transmitted, the results are revealed one by one, so its super clear

Yeah... With the Theorist Theory, i made it like that because time and when playtesting with the ACTUAL symbols and not my placeholders, the highlights were not clear. Thats also why "right symbols, wrong spot" spin. Because the yellow highlight was missable sometimes

Fair point with the green and locked. I just had trouble with playtests whrre if people werent taking notes they forgot where they put their stuff. I could have put like a number indicator on the symbol to remind them though!

And not having time to add clicking is my biggest regret 😅


Thanks so much for playing and the great feedback!

I really like the idea of showing symbols 1 by 1 with audio and visual feedback (as long as it’s not too slow). The spinning was a great touch and a good solution to show right symbol wrong spot Perhaps on the console you could have a smaller icon to the right with the correct symbol indicated once you’ve guessed it correctly? Or have it show in the box and highlighted green but with a slightly lowered alpha and allow the player to overwrite it (as if it were the placeholder text in an input field if that makes sense). Now that I think about it, lowering the alpha might also be a good way to indicate symbols that you’ve ruled out (instead of them disappearing entirely)

Yeah that works! If i had time for mouse clicks, I could have a Right Click button allow you to mark the Symbols with a number 1-5 to sort of remember where you placed it. That could be cool! 
I'm not sure I am going to take this idea forward after the jam but maybe! This is, like, my second "finished" "game" so I'm just doing little mini projects to learn more and get better
