From the README

A Morse-code rhythm game about keeping a wartime telegraph line alive.

Signals scroll toward the key line. Tap on the beat for a dit, hold for a dah. Letters chain into words, words chain into telegrams, and the line degrades every time you miss. No Morse knowledge required — the game teaches letters as you send them.

Made in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 60 (The Traffic Jam). The submitted build is preserved in this repo under the ldjam-60-submission tag.

No build step, no dependencies to install. Everything runs from static files.
