Let people know how long has this project been going, or share a bit of its history.
Parts of it (moving color spots) have been sitting on my hard drive for a long time (at least half a year). I'm glad I finally mustered up to turn it into a larger game. I could re-use game logic and code again and again, so it was not really hard to expand it.
The jam really gave me the much needed motivation to finish it.

This was something a bit different, I liked all the puzzles although was not 100% on the word axis game. One thing I personally would have preferred, is no hard time limits - it would have been nice to think about my answers and then get some feedback on why I was wrong. Also, considering I write the music for my games and play a few instruments, I was so so terrible at the perfect pitch game!

Thank you so much for playing and commenting, I really appreciate feedback.

I think it's a good idea of yours to polish the feedback a little bit. I'll get to work on that after the jam. And I know what you mean with the perfect pitch game. I also play an instrument (piano) and was surprised how hard it is to score, especially with time running down and no possibility to replay the note. That's why I chose to award at least five points even if the guess is off by half a note.

What program do you use for writing music for your games? I'd love ot get into that field, but I'm a bit at a loss what to use. I'd be glad for any tips regarding that, because recording myself at the piano via smartphone is not really the way to go (I tried that for one of my games and I'm not really happy with the result). I tried BoscaCeoil, but if you are used to normal music notation, it's really difficult to get into it.
