DOT & DASH by Kenoshka
This game consists of three mini-games where you use telegraph key and Morse code.
We planned to add at least five levels with different usages of Morse code, but due to the lack of time we completed only three.

It's also just missing the beep sound effect when you press space. That would make it really satisfying.
Great entry ^^
Personally, the games were not very engaging for me because I am not a big fan of typing games. I kept thinking that the Morse code concept could become even stronger if it were combined with other mechanics instead of being the only focus.
For example, in the first game I could imagine exploring the island, gathering food, avoiding monsters, and using the Morse code system during quieter moments to contact SOS. I think that could make the signal mechanic feel even more exciting and meaningful.
In any case, this is a very creative response to the theme!
I'd also like to be able to erase Morse code symbols if I accidentally miss-clicked. I lost a few times because of that, which was a shame. I really enjoyed the car minigame, especially the last car you have to drive around. Great job!
thanks for the feedback, btw symbol hints are at the second page of the book, there are buttons above it to switch tabs.
PS: Now I know how to use the S.O.S. signal in Morse code, so thank you for that!
the game is freezing when selecting level
the graphics and music are also top-notch, a very well-polished game! i hope you continue development and make more levels as planned!
