Very cool idea! I did struggle finding out which sounds meant what though. You say when the room restarts - you died. But how do we know the room restarted? Is there a sound? Without knowing what the sounds actually mean it does add a lot of trial and error into the game which may be why it hasn't got many ratings (since most people only spend a minute or two on jam games sadly as there are so many to rate).  I'd like to see this sort of game expanded on, maybe teaching you the sounds slowly as you work through levels. Could be a very cool mental/audio puzzle game!

What a cool game! At first I thought I had moved on to another level after I heard music, but then I realised I had actually died lol >.<

I did eventually win, though! I very much enjoyed figuring out how the game works. Learning what each sound meant, and having to create a visual representation of the level in my head, were fun challenges.

Really interesting concept! Really interesting take on the theme. I think it would definitely benefit from making a bit more audio cues. Would be a really interesting game if it's expanded on!

I've actually thought about making something like this! (Though in the context of making a videogame for blind people) Really cool! I wish there were a little more instruction as to which sound constitutes 'beating' the level. For now I assume it's the music? It'd be really neat to see what else you could add to this!

So I'll answer here as well :

when the game restarts after a short music, it means you died

when there's a music and then the game closes itself, you won!

It was reallly hardd! but i liked the minimal design like being all only one color kind of weird though, not really sure if this is like one i will hit up all the time, or anything, but yeah made me think.
