I FORGOT TO MAKE A PAUSE MENU! If a game appears to freeze, press Escape to unpause it

Explore a cave with an echolocation based drone. Recover lost drones and previous failed attempts at locating and acquiring a Very Cool Artifact:tm:!

ZERO SIGHT

ZERO FUN

RAGEBAIT GUARANTEED

NO BULLSHIT

(Intro and outro were HELLA rushed. Key effort was put in gameplay / navigation mechanics.)

speaking of

- ZOXEL - graphics
- JohnDare (you)* - programming

cool concept but why is there a chainsaw in my ear? is this drone controlled by the chainsaw man or something?

robz20 Apr 2026, 16:58

I flew around the cave for five minutes and found some signals but didnt understand the goal...
What are the arrows pointing to?

JohnDareauthor20 Apr 2026, 17:11

arrows are pointing to objectives. some may appear behind walls but they're 100% reachable you just gotta fly around enough

I spent 15 minutes learning how to fly, and my stats were something like 1/36 :D
I guess flying drones just isn’t my thing))

I probably would’ve pushed it to 1/50))) But the game froze after I Alt-Tabbed at this point:

The flight mechanics are interesting, and although I found it a bit hard to see the right route, I enjoyed it overall)

Pretty cool concept, a bit brutal gameplay!

OLEGATOR027021 Apr 2026, 17:49

Very cool echolocation experience and Comfortable controls

The game is hard to control, understand, play etc. but I assume that's the point. Wasn't entertaining at all to be honest, but the presentation was really nice. It executed its atmosphere very well.

Honestly, no offense, but I completely don’t understand how to play 😅

Doesn't seem to load? Also the name of the window seems to be: ld56signal hehe. About 3 jams too early!

IRKAR25 Apr 2026, 07:09
