The polish in this one is incredible! Great responsiveness to everything happening on screen. I think the key changes make it a bit too difficult, but maybe the concept can be adapted to a similar idea. Great job though!

My best score is 37 secondes, it took me a few tries to pass the 30 seconds mark.
I was a bit disadvanteged by the fact I'm on an azerty keyboard ^^
The visuals are nice, although I'm not a fan of the color cycling (at some point it was simply hard to see anything)
One thing I'de request is to not reset the audio on retry, since the death/retry loop is really short
Overall the game is good!

Chaos SolitaireReally fun! The way the controls change in this game make it really fun instead of frustrating; by how well communicated it is to the player (with the countdown, the massive signal on the top left corner, and the reminder of the current controls in the bottom left corner), and how gradual it is (one by one, instead of all of them in one go). The various minigames complement each other very nicely; some requiring mostly horizontal or vertical movement, to allow the player to make sure they get the controls right, at least for a bit! There's just so much good design here, and I really liked the art and the music, great job!

Colour ChaosLooks great and I like the idea, but I am very bad at this game and I don't think I could become good at it. Muscle memory is too hard to overcome, so when the controls change on me my fingers stop finging.

Cloud Dragonnice game, I like how the mini games change randomly, I always die on the rocks falling on the spikes level

I lost a lot of times but the challenge was well handled to make me play again. My brain simply didn't make it. Thanks on the effort of making a warning before the binding change. I think there is some wario ware in all those ideas of changing "controls" as the game goes: you should definitely go that way to polish the difficulty curve ;) (my guess). Great work thow!

Not On The Menu TodayLooks like we tried to go for similar ideas with the player having to constantly change their hand position. This was an excellent game though and I had a lot of fun playing it. The difficulty curve was really nicely done and the slow change of your entire control scheme was really well done. The art and sound design were also very impressive as well. Good job!

Restaurant RecklessBecomes very hectic and stressful FAST! Loved the design and flow, what seemed like a very simple concept got much more intense than I was expecting. Did have a number of levels where the changed keys didn't actually affect my gameplay, while it was a nice slow down from jamming fingers all over the keyboard it felt like a bit of a stutter in the difficulty curve.

CottonwoodReally tricky and lots of fun! I like that the game mode switched up in addition to the control shift, definitely added to the challenge, I had to remember which button did which while also adjusting to the room. Timing of both changes was on point as well, nicely done :)

Weapon PossessedGood Game one of the best I've played so far. I actually wanted to keep playing but more games must be rated.
