Light Signal is a game about a lighthouse keeper who sends signals to guide ships through the fog to their destination. You control the view with the mouse and issue commands to ships along their routes.

We had a huge amount of fun making it, even though we did not get to implement everything we had in mind. Given the time limit, we are happy with how it turned out.

We hope you enjoy the game and have a good time playing it!

The interaction with cloud is interesting like in COC, and the Graphic of the old captain is nice too.

WOW, cool visual and fog effect. This is what I wanted to see from the lighthouse games. There is no more soundtrack and the gameplay is a bit monotonous at times. I would like to have more events during the game.

The vibes here are immaculate! Super atmospheric and highly addictive gameplay. I came for a quick look and stayed way longer than planned. You nailed the mood perfectly

Looks really nice but a bit too slow for me

Nice project! I like the way the clouds feel to move, it is oddly satisfying :)

Damn, I once had a very similar idea for a game. But I really liked how you made it. It looks very cool, it plays well too. And the idea is cool. Cool. Thank you, well done

Turns out I'm an awful lighthouse keeper, but the game is great!

A very clever entry! I like the idea a lot! The mood and visuals are great, I like the small detail of the pendants you can play with 😊

Maybe it lacks a way to keep track of boats when they are a lot of them, maybe allow to place manually some lights and/or make the boats warn before hitting something so you can react?

That said, great entry, thank you!

Interesting game. Love the desperation when trying to keep multiple boats, all going in different directions, on course. Good clear graphics and audio, nicely simple controls and fun gameplay.

Excellent work -- very well done!

Very nice graphics. I did find the signals you can send a bit confusing, as it seemed like sometimes ships would crash even after being sent "Careful", but I think it may have just been wearing off. Nice job!

How could I almost miss another incredible lighthouse game? The idea was incredible and the gameplay very fluid! Amazing work!!!!
