Watch and Solve by VagabondEx

[raw]
made by VagabondEx for LD27 (COMPO)
This is a simple puzzle game where you are shown the solution for a short time, in which you must memorize it.
After that, the board is cleared, and you have exactly 10 seconds to solve the puzzle from memory.

Worked on this for about 5 hours altogether. Enjoy.

I enjoyed that. Hard I had no chance but medium I could just about manage it!

Nice flashcard game! Easy was so easy, medium was quite funny and hard was impossible! But I'm sure it's me, I'm bad with this kind of games.

Good use of theme. Simple but effective.

Fine concept and use of the theme. Fine idea with the hard-difficulty - was quite hard.

Hello there! I like how you used the theme, but I think it would have been doubly effective to "balance" the game a bit so that the viewing/memorizing part could also be set to 10 seconds instead of 20.

I think a game of this type would have benefited a bit more from simple sprites instead of numbers, as well, though then the memorization might have been more complex...

Good luck!

I like the idea! The memorizing phase should be much shorter for easy mode.

Thanks for the ideas. I wanted to use different symbols, and indeed, different memorization time for different difficulties, but just didn't have the time.

Nice simple game. My best score on medium was 14,308 and my best score on hard was 16,938. At first I kept trying to click "1" first on medium mode.

Nice simple game! Hard holds well its name. :)

It took me a few tries to figure out what to do; the "symbols" bar on the right implies that you'll be dragging those cards onto the play field, or perhaps pressing keys to select them, and I had to play it a few times before I realised that I was supposed to click the squares in order.

Cute. Ramps up quickly in difficulty!

@Darien Thanks for pointing this out, I never noticed.

I was hoping to see some good memory games! After all, I think 10 seconds is about the length of a person's working memory.

I feel like it would have been more intuitive had it started with 1 instead of 0, but that's just me.
