One Lone Coder 2025 Game Jam
Theme: SHAPES!

The name of the game is SHAPES SIPHER , and there is a reason for that!

The object of the game is to use the shapes given to you and then convert them to a well know phrase or title. You are on a timer and the faster you think, the better your score. This game is for those with quick wits and quicker pattern recognition.

You are given 10 different phrases, titles, or sayings, each with its own unique set of patterns. In less than 10 minutes you must break the code and come up with the answer. At the end you will be rewarded with a grand total to show off to your friends and family.
