Dear Players:Since the official release of “Signal Maze” version 1.0, we have received enthusiastic feedback from our players, which includes both encouragement and affirmation, as well as many valuable suggestions and constructive criticisms. Here, we would like to thank every player who has paid attention to and supported the game, and it is your attention and correction that has provided an important guideline for our optimization direction.After an in-depth review by our team, we realized that due to the lack of development experience, the game has failed to achieve the desired experience in some parts.

- ROOT art update and mouse controlling completion update! ~~~ Ver 0.3 is here !! - 4 June 2024
Greeting! Fellow operators!! It's been a while! Quite a while. Of course! We haven't been goofing around this whole time. We've got all sorts of new content for the art and mouse controlling in this update! UI art optimization and upgrade. To be honest, we feel that the quality of the previous art is still very amateurish. We can only enhance it little by little, little by little. In this update, the game-ending system has been overhauled. We've changed the game-ending-abruptly mechanic, and it's much gentler now. Of course, in addition to that, we've remaked the whole visual part of the game-ending panel. Now it's “more like it”. Artistically, in addition to the game-ending panel we added unit and grid VFX and added realistic screen effects to the entire UI. We've also made a series of fine-tuned adjustments to device lighting, details, texture, and more as well. We hope you enjoy our…

We invite all players who participated in the test to give us feedback on any questions and suggestions through the questionnaire, and of course, there are prizes to be won~!
