I was rather confused by it, but eventually at least figure out what to do. Despite it all, I was very pleased overall, excellent work!

Man I just love these Game Watch-like games. Yours is great. Found it a bit hard to understand, but this is great. One of the best ones I've seem this LD so far. Congratulations!

Graphics are awesome, it really looks like and old game & watch !
Too bad that does not create a melody (or maybe I didn't understand something) even with some beeps ?

Very good art, superb imitation of Game & Watch ! But maybe a little too easy ?

Great ! Just a bit unfortunate that once opened design look like a fake Game & Watch, but this is not a fault or inconsistent so far.
(I give you a bonus point, because I also made a game & watch on last LD ;) )

@nSun your old "game&waste" is better than this one ;)

This made me nostalgia, reminded me of a pocket game I had as a kid. Very interesting for how simple it is.

I liked it as a game and watch game, but it was kind of frustrating when I couldn't really understand it.

Interesting but hard for me to figure it out

Instructions could be a tiny bit clearer otherwise great job.

Yeah, Celticraft49 & Uhfgood you're quite right; everytime I make the same mistake in those gamejams: I begin to draw the artworks THEN I try to find a gameplay fitting the look I want. That's why the goals are not really well designed and difficult to understand :/

Love the G&W look, those games were always great! They were easy to start, yet hard to let go again. They were truly minimal, but great fun... Sorry to say that your game does not really fulfill all my nostalgic dreams... it's just a bit too complicated with all those buttons, and a bit too quiet for a musical game. But the looks are great, anyway!!! :)

Super art style, nailed the game and watch feel. Couldnt really understand what to do though...

I love the look of old LCD games, and you've captured it dead on! The gameplay was hard to figure out at first, but once I did getting points seemed easy.

Very good idea to make a G&W game. I think the concept is a bit too harder to understand to be a real G&W like, but it's cool.

Thank you all for the comments! ...so I really have to improve my skills in the gameplay department for the future gamejams!
