About

Signal Loom

Read full description

Signal Loom is an original puzzle game built around signal transmission and state programming. Place signal-processing modules on a 2D grid to route signals from emitters to receivers โ€” while meeting specific state conditions. This is not a simple connect-the-dots or pipe-laying game. Each signal carries five distinct attributes: direction, strength, noise, color, and time-step. You design signal processing flows like writing a program, crafting the exact logic needed for each puzzle. MODULES - 9 unique signal-processing modules: Conductor, Turner, Splitter, Merger, Amplifier, Compressor, Delayer, Converter, and Shield - Each module transforms signal attributes in different ways โ€” split paths, boost strength, filter noise, shift color, or synchronize timing ENVIRONMENTS - 5 terrain types: open cells, walls, interference zones, attenuation zones, and fixed equipment - Terrain shapes your strategy โ€” interference adds noise, attenuation drains strength OBJECTIVES - 6 objective types: signal arrival, strength threshold, noise ceiling, color matching, multi-path synchronization, and full coverage - Later levels combine multiple objectives into complex, layered challenges PROGRESSION - 7 chapters, each introducing one new mechanic - 14 handcrafted levels with carefully tuned difficulty curves - From basic directional routing to multi-dimensional signal orchestration Every level is a self-contained logic puzzle. Study the grid, analyze signal paths, choose the right modules, adjust their rotation, and launch your signal to see if it arrives in the correct state. Minimal abstract sci-fi aesthetic. No ads. No in-app purchases. Full game included.
