Ludum Dare #59compo
Notgate
Overall
A Sokoban-style puzzle game where you use *signal*s to activate portals!NOTICE:While the website version also works, the executable version is recommended for you can add and edit maps as you wish and the shaders don't work in the web ver.
How to play
WASD to move; Z to undo; holding Z to undo continously.Commands system embedded in the game, you can type "/xx" to jump to the xx-th level and "/solve" to try to find out whether there is a solution to the current state of the map automatically. The commands are designed to assist with debugging and developing so trying to avoid use it may help you have a better gameplay experience. However, when you got stuck in a level, it would also be helpful to use "/solve" to find out if you were on the right path.
Map editing system
In executable version, the game reads maps under "assets/maps" naming "mapxx.txt" in order and it will returns to "map1.txt" when the game can't find the next map file.You can ultilize this system to add your own map or edit the existing maps.
More detailed information is written in README.md.

Nice take on Sokoban theme!

Cute sokoban game. You have to think a little bit more since the signal has further range than you might expect.

Good entry. Like this take on Sokoban

I love sokoban games. Nice twist on the mechanic. Good job.

Man I am not good at Sokoban games but this is a neat little twist on the formula, having to get something close but not exactly knowing where the "correct" place it should go. I got stuck on the same level as @roroto-sic.
The one frustration I had is I couldn't find any Restart Level so when I completely messed up I had to spend a long time undoing all my actions.

@matt-giuca Actually there IS a way to undo quickly or reset the level, which I put in the README with the source code and windows version release but not the description here. I have attached them just now. Sorry for that and thank you for your playing and feedback!

A interesting and fun little twist on a classic puzzle game. It's well made and fun to play. Well done.

I'm not a fan of sokoban, but this is very good. I like this style and sounds. I'd like to have a reset button.

Too difficult for me, but the notgate mechanic pushed me to keep playing!

This was my limit. Level 14, I think.
I think I need to get the repeater to where the rightmost box is, but I just can't find a way to do it.
Anyway, this is a good game. The puzzles are well-designed, which is like, the most important thing. The signal mechanic is a really nice implementation of the theme, and then you build on it with the repeaters, which is excellent. Maybe there are more mechanics for smart people on the later levels, I don't know :'( I don't really want to cheat and peek. Maybe I can do it if I come back to it.
Graphics are basic but clear, no complaints. Oh, one thing, the undo is very welcome but it would be nice to have a key to just restart the level in one keypress.
Why are you an F?

> Why are you an F?
Ah I was wondering that but I think (extrapolating from the name) you're a False signal, trying to become True or something like that?

@matt-giuca @rogual
Thx for playing and thx for ur suggestions. I think i will add the reset button soon.
Actually, 'F' stands for the Fourier operator—it's used a lot in signal processing. lol

Always lovely to see new sokobans. I'm not the biggest fan of "level variants", altough the NOT gate is one of those case where you do get interesting surprises. Lovely entry!
khaotom20 Apr 2026, 18:47
i enjoyed the really well explored puzzle mechanics. just needs a full reset button rather than press and hold undo, but if i remember what level i am on i can use the slash command
Avi20 Apr 2026, 19:09
Love it! nice puzzle game, and cool interpretation of the theme. Great work :)
Trav20 Apr 2026, 20:04
Cool game, I enjoyed playing. Also, I've never seen raylib compiled out to a web game like that before, I learned something useful from your code so thank you :)
Nidoprince21 Apr 2026, 07:51
Like the guy above, I also got stuck on lv 14. I also started noticing lag as I played longer, but that could be because I was using my browser and its not optimized for that.
Mikan21 Apr 2026, 17:26
Fun sokoban idea. The goal is not to push crates anywhere, and to find where the signal transmitter should be pushed.

A solid Sokoban-style game! The mechanics feel right and it's a nice take on the genre. Good job!
i didnt manage to finish the game, this level is the last i saw .
