RadioShift

A radio operator simulator with time-management mechanics centered around decrypting messages, sending replies, and repairing decryption devices. The protagonist’s workstation is located in a radio tower deep in the forest, officially designated as a fire lookout station.

The player has access to three decryption machines, each of which takes a certain amount of time to decrypt a message. Every incoming message requires a reply within a specific time limit, which is displayed in a dedicated field. The countdown begins as soon as the message is received. If the player fails to respond before the deadline, the reply is marked as overdue, and the protagonist loses one life. Losing all lives results in a Game Over.

CONTROLS:

A-left D-right

W-forward S-return

rn only green cards work E to pickup cards, morze code machine to send papers.

Looks interesting, sadly I wasn't able to interact with anything tho. Did I get anything wrong?

An interesting-looking game. I saw great potential, but I didn't have time to enjoy all the features of this game. Unfortunately, it crashed my computer.

The onboarding in this game is non-existent. You are immediately thrown into complex mechanics that are impossible to understand. On top of the frustrating learning curve, the game is highly unstablew. Try to make the beginning simpler and work on optimization

I quickly grasped the controls, but not what to do, which is a shame. Timers immediately reach zero, but nothing happens. After a while, the sound stops, and I didn't really understand what I was supposed to do next. Otherwise, the atmosphere and graphics were good.

Interesting, but very confusing. Fist of all, it's quite frustrating without any crosshair to pick up items and interact with objects. Then I didn't manage to understand what should I do when I've finished with all green messages? Because I can't take yellow or red ones... or interact with any object.

Сложно понять сюжет и что вообще нужно делать... но сама идея изначально понравилась

Gameplay is fire, literally
Obviously the game isn't done right now, but looking good!
Idea is very interesting though
