A downloadable game for Windows

You have been assigned the position of Operator at Number Station 30. 
Unscramble patterns heard on the radio using cipher cards. 

A puzzle game made for the GMTK Game Jam 2025.

Use the mouse to interact with the radio, cards, and green routing-matrix-machine.

Hints: 

Starting point: The number 0 is a good reference point to start from.
Groups of numbers: Except for the 'end of sequence', all patterns are made up of four numbers.
Coordinates: The number zero only appears at the end of a radio channel's loop or when giving coordinates. For example: "0 3 0 2" indicates the switch in the third column, row 2. A coordinate is always followed by a different pattern that says what should happen to the switch at that coordinate.
Blank state: The switches on the green routing matrix start in a random position. Turning all switches off first will make things easier.
Pattern example: A simple example to decipher the state for a switch:
1) Wait for the voice channel to say "0 0 0 0 0", this means it completed its loop and will now restart.
2) The first pattern you hear will use the "0 X 0 Y", this is a coordinate for a switch, for example: "0 3 0 2".
3) The next pattern will be four numbers that matches the pattern of one of the cards. For example "1 7 5 7", meaning the switch must be set active.
4) These two patterns after each other mean that the switch in column 3, row 2, needs to be turned on.
