Tarmac by barret907k

[raw]
made by barret907k for Ludum Dare 59 (COMPO)

Tarmac — a two-handed marshalling memory game.

Ideally played on mobile in landscape mode.

Two patterns appear on screen — one for each hand. Watch them. Memorize them. Then signal them back from memory on both sides simultaneously before the timer runs out.

The theme is Signal — you are the signal. A plane is on approach and the pilot is watching your hands. Get the pattern wrong and they abort. Get it right and the next one comes in closer, with one more move added to the sequence.

Each level grows the pattern by one dot. It never resets. By level 9 you're tracing the entire grid from memory, both hands, racing the clock.

Best played on mobile in landscape with both thumbs. Also works on desktop with mouse.

Controls: Touch / drag to connect dots in order

Fairly fun and challenging. Having to repeat the entire sequence from one failed step is a bit too punishing maybe.

Pretty fun! Truth be told, my kid just got a very similar handheld memory game gadget that I have played with, so I had the competitive advantage :D

Interesting idea! On PC I felt limited by having to draw each pattern separately (I imagine they're supposed to be drawn with both hands at the same time on mobile). But it was fun regardless! Great job! :smile:

Clever take on theme! Nice sound effects, and pleasant graphics. And of course simple but engaging gameplay
or those playing on PC, there is Checkbox for LEFT ONLY. Good luck!

Love that you can play this game on your phone!
It was pretty challenging, but was happy when I completed the level.
Also I love the intro sequence!
