Really liked your plane start-up sound effects!  

I think the game could be improved with some indication on what the "correct" solution to the map was besides just displaying a score.  And also letting the player know what icons they were going to be working with ahead of time.  It wasn't always clear to me what the actual things translated to in the drawn map form.

Kinda curious how you implemented the scoring in any case!  Was it  based on the faint grid on the paper?  Relative positions of the icons?

Very cool seeing someone else's interpretation of the same idea :)

Developer

I was really happy with the start-up sound effect as well, thanks!

I agree, that is one of the things which I would improve if I were to continue development/polish.

It's relative positions of the icons :)

Great game! Some instructions on how to play it at the beginning would've been nice, but I loved the idea, and it fits the jam theme very well!

Developer

Thank you! Yes, I was thinking about doing a tutorial or writing out the instructions more clearly (not only in the short description).

As an afterthought, I could say you had to EXPLORE how to play the game ;)

cool! The map is really nice. I'd love if you could try my game!

A very good idea, i love it, with good controls and everything.

But, I think that in a start is confuse

Lovely game. Took me a bit to understand what I'm meant to do but it's basically a memory game; you fly over the map then return to base and create a map of where everything was. The execution is  great. I really struggle with map size of 4 and 5 though.

I will say it's a bit odd that the map is 16:9 while the game's levels seem to be square.

Developer

Yeah, the instructions could be clearer definitely. Exploring how to play the game is within the theme, right? ;)
4 and 5 are supposed to be hard, I struggle with them as well.

Yeah, I could've changed that. In the beginning the levels where supposed to be a bit more oddly shaped, but I didn't have time to iterate on that.

Thanks for playing and giving feedback!

feels very nicely polished with an interesting core game loop, i found myself playing a few times!

Developer

Good to hear! I'm happy with how it turned out :)
