DEAD PIXELS THE LAST SIGNAL
Three realities. One forgotten signal.
In the ruins of an abandoned digital world, a small robot known as UNIT 07 awakens with no memory of its past.
Something is calling from deep within the system.
To uncover the truth, you must navigate a decaying technological world and switch between three different realities REALITY, MEMORY, and VOID.
Each reality changes the environment, revealing hidden paths, dangerous machinery, and fragments of a forgotten story.

FEATURES:
- 7 handcrafted levels with increasing difficulty.
- Switch between 3 realities to solve puzzles.
- Dodge lasers, turrets, and collapsing platforms.
- Discover hidden memory fragments.
- Atmospheric pixel-art environments and an original soundtrack.
- A cinematic introduction and story-driven ending.
Made for Ludum Dare 60 — Theme: OLD TECH.

This is a good game, just struggled to press jump and the number 2 key at the same time.

Well done, that was fun to jump through made it all the way to level seven in like 5-6 minutes maybe? Not a bad experience at all. I think the only constructive feedback I would have is the purple and grey outline were very close in color so sometimes I hit the wrong button thinking that would be the one for that missing platform.

The checkpoint were super forgiving though so it never truly frustrated me. Overall just.. solid entry, nice!

I really like the game's visual style and atmospheric music — great job, guys! And the key-based mechanic is unique - it’s wonderful!

Great idea! Love the style, if it was done by hand.
Especially like the hints, they helped to finish the game without any trouble. Anyway on third or forth level I was managed to see and match platform from another channel with my keys.
But music changes strangely quickly.
Anyway, like!

Nice game!! Once I understood the mechanics, it felt a little easy. I was the signal!!!

It was an enjoyable platformer, I got to the end. It sometimes became hard to know which key to press, but luckily there were many save points.

The level design makes no sense; the game looks vibecoded, from the code to the design of the game itself.
The story doesn't make sense, and it's very simple to bypass most obstacles due to their obscure placement, which doesn't challenge the player in any way.

Really cute puzzle platformer. Controls were nice and responsive, but the levels were a bit too straightforward. Good job!

UI looks nice, the movement and jumping felt smooth, almost creamy like those types of keyboards if that makes sense lol. The music was pretty chill. FIrst play through I fell down the first hole about 5 times then i figured out the channell shifting , the 3rd level thank you for adding a checkpoint to respawn at lol.

Nice work! I really enjoyed the puzzles :) I wonder if the UI could be simplified a bit to help focus the players?

There is a lot of text for the player. Most of the text ends up being ignored because there is so much i think.

It was a fun and well-executed game. This is surprisingly polished for an LD game. The reset/checkpoint mechanic was particularly smooth. I also appreciated the game "didn't overstay its welcome". Well done!

Awesome, your game is magnificent! I had a blast playing it, really cool stuff

Really solid puzzle game! Loved the detailed art and all the little touches throughout. The checkpoint placement was spot on, and the progression felt super smooth—reusing certain platform setups helped communicate what to do naturally without getting stuck, while still keeping levels fresh.
Only real downside was the music—the loop got pretty repetitive after a while. But overall, really great work here!

Really well done! The visual style and sound design work perfectly together, and both are top-notch.

I really liked the mechanic of switching between realities, although the key bindings for it felt a little awkward.

The colored outlines on objects from other realities make it easy to understand which reality you need to switch to in order to activate certain elements. It's a really nice way to communicate the puzzle mechanics to the player.

The game also has a great length - it doesn't overstay its welcome and keeps things interesting right until the end. Great job, and good luck with the jam!))

Great concept, lovely pixel art, and sound design that fits perfectly! The level design is excellent, and the game is just the right length to keep things interesting without getting repetitive. Definitely a great job!
