More Tips

1. You can use [Backspace] to delete words
2. The words on the left book are sorted in alphabetical order (no grammar restriction)
3. From day 4 and so on... If you receive a paper contains an important mark (top-left of the paper), be sure to stamp it on YOUR paper. Missing an important mark stamp will deduct your point quite a lot.
4. From day 6 and so on... Some message will require a weather report.

This is an amazing game!!! Loved the constant ticking it felt so cozy. Super cool idea and incredible execution, well done!!!

It was too difficult to get the right time. Sometimes I think it's a dot, but it becomes a dash. And I can't withdraw it.

Great entry and suits the theme perfectly! The mixture of challenges and questions Keep it fresh and varied. Really dig the art, music loop could be a bit longer.

Awesome work for coming up with this one! I'd love to see this turn into a full game

Interesting game, The encoding with the letters is interesting, however I would recommend giving the player the ability to type on the keyboard but make the encryption codes longer to counter act that.

I've been trying to find a game about Morse Code for a while now, and I did *not* expect to find it in a game jam. This is awesome. Everything about it. The beautiful pixel art, the satisfying sound design, the perfect background music that exists without overly drawing my attention, the gradual addition of mechanics, and gentle but persistent rise in difficulty, the frantic flipping through pages that change with the day. I don't have the words to describe just how much I love this.

Three small nit-picks:

1. I didn't know I had to stamp the papers until the stamp had already existed for a day. I thought it was just some button with an unknown function. Once I realized, I really appreciated that the stamp actually rendered where I had stamped on the paper and not just in the center of the template spot.

2. I don't know what the bar at the top-right is for. I got it up to 99 expecting to win the game or something, but I couldn't discern any effect it had on the game.

3. It took me a while to get used to the rhythm of tapping out the code (I don't know Morse Code despite having been looking for a game about it). It would've been nice if we heard incoming Morse code at some point so we could get a feel for just how long a dash was supposed to be.
