Thanks - I’m glad you managed to have some fun with it!

Super interesting concept. A new space invaders tied to rhythmical patterns, really interesting.

Developer

Thanks :)

I didn’t pull it off as well as I hoped, but glad you got it :D

It is fairly difficult. I find it hard to remember what colors correspond with each tune. So when I need a red projectile, I feel like I'm struggling.  One fix I thought of would be to have each tune shown below but have 1 light up when it is in use.  Interesting game idea!

Developer

Thanks - that’s a good idea!

Yeah- it took me too long to think of a concept so I really ran out of time to do some much needed tweaking to make the gameplay accessible.

I liked the colour choose and concept, but controls are very confusing

Developer

Thanks - I’m glad you had a bit of fun with it.

But yeah- it does need a bit more tinkering to really get the concept to work. I ran out of time!

Very unique, but it doesnt feel like you have much control over the game. Found myself just having to randomly change tunes.

Developer

Thanks :)

Yeah - it took me too long to think of an idea, and only once I’d implemented it did I realise it needed a bit more time in the oven than I actually had left.

interesting concept! i found it a bit difficult not knowing what signals i can choose from, so i was basically frantically changing them until it had a colour i needed.

Would be cool if you can see ahead and choose the tones required.

other then that, great work, i liked the minimalist aspect.

Thanks - I’m glad you managed to have a go of it!

That’s a good suggestion. It definitely needs more time being tinkered with to make it a fun experience than I had time for!
