Fun game! Initially it took me 4-5 rounds to figure out exactly what to do, then I got a small grip on the game. Eventually, I was put into a "zen" mode, where I was pressing buttons in a specific rhythm based on the sound cues. Felt so satisfying.  I would love to see it expanded more with different challenges like the platforms auto-moving to different spots, or platforms are in constant rotation, or another letter being introduced, etc. Such a cool concept, love it!

I’m 3 weeks late with my reply, sorry; a whole lot of tasks found their way into my queue. I really appreciate(d) your comment/suggestions – very motivating! Moving platforms will definitely happen in some way, and I already began implementing a challenge that demands other buttons (just not other letters though, since the Game Boy only has A & B to offer). But yeah, thanks so much for taking the time to play & comment! Kind regards!

This game put me in a meditative state! I just loved it!

The concept is simple but it works really well. The pixel art is beautiful. And I really liked the idea of associating each platform with a tone.

well done !

Hahaha, insane!! 379 rounds??? I played near 80 and I though that was a cool round. You`ve smashed me! XDDDD

Ok, the game it´s simple in its mechanics but works extremely well for me. You need to be focused and in full atention. Sounds and music are linked with controls, so it makes this little experience more inmersive. It could be a very good idea for a Gb game for sure (with other modes added). 

Greeat work, https://clapostrophe.itch.io/ ^^

If done in the time assingned, my valoration would be a 4.5 over 5. 

I´ve also changed the valoration.

My surely late and certainly sincere THANKS to you – your comment means a lot! Big fan of your jam entries I played thus far. I was already working on an update for A/B Smash, then got side-tracked by another Jam. I mean, of course?!

Thanks kindly & my respect for hanging in there for 379 rounds. :)
