Implementing a key to restart is an excellent suggestion, and I'll definitely add it to my to-do list for the update. As for using the numpad as controls, I don't have a numpad so I'm not sure how to implement that — I'll think about it. I appreciate your feedback and comment. Thank you once again!

Thanks for playing! I'm happy to hear that you persevered in learning the mechanics and had a great time. There'll be an update available once the jam ends, and I hope you'll give it a try. Who knows, it might be more fun!

Hey there! Glad you liked the game. There'll be a update after the jam ends, I hope you'll have a chance to try it out as well. Thanks!

Hey Jade! Check out my little game called CIPHER. I think you'll love it!

Give it a try at this link: https://itch.io/jam/go-godot-jam-4/rate/2070086

Let me know what you think and if you achieve any high scores. Enjoy playing CIPHER!

Hey there! I made the tutorial intentionally vague for that specific reason in mind, a sense of eureka when you finally understand the patterns, and wasn't sure if I made it too vague that only I could play it — glad to hear otherwise. I'll keep that in mind for the future, whether it's for an update or a new game.

I appreciate the compliments especially regarding the quality of the game — makes all the time creating the game as a new hobby game dev more worth it. Thanks for checking!

Hey there! You don't need to hold the keys needed to create the pattern — you can press the buttons one by one. The thing is that you have create the pattern in more or less half a second, depending on the buttons pressed, as seen through the horizontal bar below the control grid (small 2x2 boxes). It supposed to mimic the mechanic of touchscreen swiping, the horizontal bar going empty symbolizes that you are done creating the pattern.

I hope this clears up any confusing parts and I encourage you to give it another try. Thanks for checking!
