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
