I didn't know the Morse code, so I had to learn it a little bit. It's a cool game!

Creative use of the theme and good atmosphere. Morse code detection works well. Did take me a little while to notice the sheet of paper on the table even though you did your best to highlight it. If I ended up in a Saw inspired trap room I would probably die.

@just-dzhi @braktheman I hope you managed to finish the game though :smiley:. If there's too little time, I can increase it.

Simple game, but it work really well and the difficulty is well balanced. Great job!

It's crazy to see how few people actually took the "space" literally and implemented the space-bar into the game (we too did that). First paythrough i was completely confused and used a morsecode sheet from google in the seccond run. It took me 3 runs to notice, that the sheet of paper on the table is actually clickable even tho it was highlightet pretty obvius. Pretty good implementation of the theme tho, loved teh game :D

Cool concept, music and mood were great, and I loved the incorporation of Morse code

Took me a bit to understand it was a hangman game. The visuals are really good, and the theme was used pretty well. It was really fun to play! Does it give you a random sentence, or is it fixed?

I love the Saw-like setting and the atmosphere. It aquire some learning for someone who don't know Morse code like me but i'm really engaging in it and having fun.

@genroa Thank you for playing! The sentence is one of four. @nanamaki There is a piece of paper on the table that can help :smile: I think I need to update this.

Really love the concept! I had fun trying to get faster and faster at typing things lol. Even learned some morse along the way :3

Cool atmosphere and mood! The game is rather simple but I think inputting the letters via morse code was a nice touch for both adding a new twist to hangman and to further incorporate the setting. I liked it. Good work!

Very interesting and unique concept! The Saw reference was nice. It's good that the passcodes were randomized - it added replayability. My favorite one was "You shall not pass" :grin:

The mood is crafted well, with the slight suspenseful music, sparse lighting and kind of a creepy atmosphere. It's a cool short experience.

I really like the idea of using hangman to learn morse code. Any game that teaches you something is awesome in my book. I do wish there was a skip intro button and more phrases though. I'm not sure if it is cached, a bug, or bad luck, but after a handful of reloads, I only ever got the one phrase.

@vincent7 @mar-zockmeister @fabula-rasa @hinesite Thank you for playing, I'm glad you liked it!

It's random out of 4 phrases. Unfortunately I think you just got the same one on reload. Good idea with the skip, if I get some time, I will add it.

Very fun! I love the implementation of Morse code

The audio fit so well -- I was stressed tapping my space bar as the time was running out! I like how the Morse code guide is integrated in as a sheet of paper on the desk, really made the "you have everything you need to escape" true.

The graphics and music are very impressive and the game-play is unique. Once I got the Morse code sheet I was able to make some progress. Still, one has to think fast to beat this game. Very unusual and without a doubt a unique experience. Nice work.

I had difficulty marking the letters, even though I read the tutorial
