I didn't have any problems with the microphone. I seemed to be very dumb while playing your game :'). Graphics are simple and effective. I like the concept of using our voice in a game. This was surely an awesome challenge for you. It was impossible for me to produce a sustained tone at 2600 Hz, I lower the goal to 1600 as you adviced ;) Keep creating games !"},{"author_name":"quentinus60","author_uid":"101937","time":"Aug 31, 2016 @ 6:42pm","epoch":1472668620,"text":"It was fun ! good job :)"},{"author_name":"RIPPorkins","author_uid":"111142","time":"Sep 1, 2016 @ 5:18am","epoch":1472706780,"text":"Great idea!
