I really liked this one it felt super engaging and was cool you used minimal visuals for it.

The music is a BANGER. Huge props for making it yourself! I had so much fun keeping track of the rhythm, also the whole idea of a game with no visuals at all is incredibly interesting!

Hercules Hears HazardsSo I couldn't get passed the first round as Im not good at audio cues like this game. So, I grabbed my wife who is a pro in this and really enjoyed playing it with her and watching her play it!! Great game, it would be nice to have an some kind of indication of missing the mark.

Fire, Crackle, SwordAll 5 stars for me! It's so awesome that you wrote the music, and it fits the round perfectly, IMO.

Cat Burglar!This game is awesome. It told me that I'm amazing because I got the perfect score :) Loved the experience, the music is great and really catched me with its vibe. Definetly a top game this round! Keep up the good work :)

Escape From CrunkleThe game was a ton of fun! The music was fantastic, really upbeat and positive. I loved timing the press and the audio feedback and the cheers from the crowd were great

Four Bent FingersThis was really well done! I feel like I maybe could have used a visual cue to know when I'd missed it or something but maybe I'm just bad at it haha. Really fun idea and really cool little game.

Mr. Monocle's Maniacal MayhemOoooooh myyyyyy god I really liked it :) I jump right into the game, needed 1 round to understand it and playing back again. The music is enjoying, the five notes series are fun to hear ! The game is so simple but so addictive that for me it's a hit. I saw you have other games based on music and rhythm, will take a look sometime ! You just gain a follower ;)
I went until "Not far from perfect" (or something like that).
PS : reading other comments, I personally have nothing to tell about the audio feedback, but perhaps we talk about visual feedbacks. I played with eyes closed...

Ears wide openSimple but certainly enjoyable. Felt a little disconnected with a lack of feedback from your actions, but still enjoyable. It's pretty short and there isn't much content, but what's there is polished well, good job.

A Dark RoomNice game, it reminds me of Doctor Rhythm. You really push the theme to the theme to the extreme here. I really enjoying playing it. I would like to have a bit more feedback on how I did, but overall great job.

Reel RhythmThanks a lot for the feedback. Great idea on the score system. There are different messages at the end depending on how well you do, but I would’ve liked to expand it. Maybe announce the score using text to speech. I wanted to see what a game would be like with absolutely zero visual cues which is why I didn’t display the score on the screen at the end.
