Editor takes
“Cute and mouse-only makes for a solid coffee-break puzzle, but without touch support or any sign of saves I'd never start it on a commute.”
“Tight jam scope, clean pixel art, and a signal-tower gimmick that carries the whole game—no surprise it placed 2nd of 157.”
“It teaches its frequency rules by play, and the robot's signal sequence is always right there, so the aha moments feel earned rather than guessed.”
How to play
Each level shows a target signal sequence at the bottom of the screen. Place towers on blank metal slabs, set each tower's frequency by clicking it, and remove towers by clicking on them so the robot receives the correct signals in order. The game teaches its mechanics as you play.
Tips
- Check the displayed sequence at the bottom before building your towers.
- Plan around the regular interval at which each tower emits its signal.
- Click a tower to change its frequency if the signal order isn't matching.
- Remove unwanted towers by clicking on them instead of leaving them active.
- If you're stuck, the game page includes written solutions for every stage.
