Catch the signals by Fifut

[raw]
made by Fifut for Ludum Dare 59 (COMPO)

Description :notebook:

This is a puzzle game in which you must try to align antennas with planets in order to capture the signals they emit. The captured signals turn into “signal floating balls” that you must guide toward the receiver using mirrors.


Gameplay loop

  1. Aim the antennas at the planets to generate signal balls.
  2. Use the mirror cubes to deflect the signal balls’ path and guide them into the receiver.
  3. Send enough balls into the receiver to advance to the next level.

Note:

  • The antennas cannot produce more than 6 balls without cooling down.
  • You must coordinate the antennas so that the receiver receives the balls at the same time.
