One area I usually struggle with is introducing the mechanics in a guided but progressive way – I’m glad to hear that worked out for you.

And I’ve got to tell some real life people about that swing (cello) album. It was a treat!

Thanks. After so many years of doing game jams (it’s been my on-and-off hobby since elementary school) it’s glad to finally get one right.

I’ll probably spend some time thinking about how I could adapt this into a full/phone game. Though my track record for finishing those is, uh, consistent.

Thanks! You wouldn’t believe how hard it was to communicate the idea that both the orbs and the open/close buttons needed to be clicked; the motto was a last ditch effort that looks to have succeeded.

And I was very happy about those music finds – might have to go to Belgium just to hit up a Brazzmatazz concert.

Thanks. A little wordplay goes a long way.

Glad you found it relaxing; a few of us frantically clicked our way into sore wrists.

Mouth sounds are a quick and easy go-to if you’re in need of silly sound effects, and it’s hard to overstate how much having sound effects of any kind adds to the fun factor of a game.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah that was some other feedback I received but I didn’t wanna deal with any buttons for my first web game, partially because I didn’t want to have to explain the buttons.

I had trouble enough getting people to realize all the things that could be clicked on.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. The first sentence in my design doc originally was “you are the energy source” but my first idea was also a mouse-tethered water bucket. The plan changed substantially over time and I can see how the theme became a bit abstract.

Thanks! I almost didn’t add any sound-effects, both due to time constraints and the artistic fear of inadequacy. But I know cognitively that sound effects make games better, so I forced myself to do it. I was immediately glad I did, and I’m glad to hear you enjoyed them.

Glad you enjoyed it. I tried for a simple challenge well executed, but usually I bumble the progression.

Thanks! Obviously I can’t take credit for the compositions but I did feel like those tracks matched the vibe. It’s also good exposure for the bands in question – I had not heard of them before searching for publicly-available works, and now I’m likely to seek them out.

Thanks! If I had more time I’d make it a proper puzzle game.

This may be the first time that I didn’t have to cut any of the concepts (ball types).
