Very fun puzzle game! Puzzles were very enjoyable and well balanced. 

Submitted

Great puzzle design! I loved number 5 especially!

Submitted

Cool puzzle game! Since love music and puzzle, it's a good match for me haha. It was an enjoyable experience, I just had some trouble dragging nodes around. Congratulation for making this!

Submitted

Very interesting! It reminds me of playing with Snap Circuits as a kid. The puzzles were great, but moving pieces could be cumbersome sometimes.

Submitted

The controls to move and edit the pieces were sometimes a little difficult to use and I think some constraints (like placement limitations or having blocks in the way) would make the puzzles more challenging but overall it was still quite fun to make the music play!

Submitted

Very cool concept!

What an excellent game! I had a WHALE of a time. I ask for more levels (Although I couldnt figure out level 8, what's the solution?)

Stuff I think could be cool/use some improvement: The maroon element is a bit finicky to click, because it has 4 small buttons on it. I also wish there was some way to "keep" the music I made in each level. So all the tunes from levels 1 to 7 could somehow combine to form a small tune - it would feel rewarding to me.


Honestly, this is a top-notch submission. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Kudos!

This game was amazing, I liked the simple gameplay and art style, but I felt a lack of more substantial controls like selecting multiple pieces to move them all at the same time.
Also, the game was way too easy, there was always a high amount of pieces which you didn't need, that made solving puzzles not require much creativity, just putting the pieces in the right order, it would've been nice if there were more levels like the bonus level, where you need to combine certain pieces in a different way, and levels where you need to use all the connections in the pieces.

This is such a unique and clever take on the theme. I played each 7 levels (got stuck with the bonus level) and had a lot of fun!

Submitted

This is a really clever idea. The art is good enough to support the premise, and I had fun trying to wire things up.

I think the 4th stage was somehow buggy for me. I kept trying to wire yellow blocks into grey blocks, and they would only sometimes make the number go up, seemingly kind of randomly.

On the design side, I found some of the UI confusing. It took me forever to realize I was supposed to clicks the points on the purple diamonds, even though you had a tutorial picture sort of demonstrating it. Maybe if you showed a whole block in the tutorial image instead of just the diamond, it would be clearer? And there's a lot of things that can be plugged into each other that do nothing. I tried plugging blue blocks into other blue block, purple blocks into grey blocks, etc. It's hard to know what combinations of blocks are allowed and what aren't. 

But that's pretty small stuff, and I really enjoyed playing this game once I got the hang of. Thanks for making it!

Nice little puzzle game. Would be fun to play around with even without the puzzles, I think. :-)

Amazing puzzle idea and great way to think of scales. I loved the way it mashs up music and electronics. Very neat and just an beautiful idea :D

Really clean, really nice

Cool take on the theme! It's also a nice blend between a visual programmer/factory game and music making. I do agree with others, the interactions with the nodes could have been better to avoid small inconsistencies. For example, dragging nodes require the mouse button to be held, but creating connections between nodes is click-drag-click motion. I think if you manage to iron out these, you have a good change at making a cool game with this.

Really clean game and cool idea!

Neat game, pretty unique and easy to understand, and pretty good execution. only major complaint I have is that pressing check solution takes a long while, and given you already have the visual feedback, might be better to just make that instant. The inputs can also be a bit wack, maybe giving them bigger detection radiuses and making it glow where you're hovering would help. Overall though, it's very promising!

This game has so much potential. I just wish there were more levels and mechanics!

Super clean entry. Musical scale combined with automaton game. Good job

Submitted(+1)

This is one of my favorite takes on the theme son far. Beyond a game jam game, I just love this idea over all. Super neat. Reminds me of [the Sequence] game meets music. Very impressed! I hope to see this in the top 100!

Developer

Thank you very much for your comment! I haven't heard of that game before, can't seem to find it but if you drop a link I'll scope it out :)

Great take on the theme. I was thinking some components were useless until I played the last bonus level. For the 7 levels, the oscillator, rotator and emitter could have been a single component, only additions needed otherwise. The bonus mechanics felt kind of broken but I managed to make something work.

Developer

Thank you very much for your comment. I had planned for the rotator to have much more mechanical functionality than I was able to implement, so it didn't have time to shine. The oscillator though did end up being totally redundant in the final product, but unfortunately it was load bearing in my spaghetti code haha
