Nice game, it's nothing new but it kept me playing for a while >.< .It'd be nice to have leaderboards to compare highscores.

P.D.: I love the art style.

Thank you :)

Yes, is not very original. I don't have a lot of free time.

I'm a sucker for memory games. Nice pixels. I'd only recommend that maybe it gradually speeds up as you play, and that there's no delay between button presses (that is, so you can hit them as fast as you want).

The art is great, however I wish there was more feedback in the game play to let you know when it is your turn and when you should be paying attention.

Lovely pixelly machinery, but the game got tiresome. Was annoyed I didn't have a chance to play the turntable before I failed.

Hi, it looks very nice but I didn't have much fun playing it unfortunately. I think the delay before pressing a button kills it.

Nice art! I think the volume could be turned down a little, it is very loud, not recommended for people using headphones! Classic gameplay, the only complaint i have is the instruments aren't very responsive: if the player could click in the sequence faster it would be smoother. Overall nice work, congrats!

Sexy version of simon says!

There was an odd desync between the tones and the actual movement of the objects, and that threw me off. Otherwise, nice job!

Technically this is cool, but it麓s basically "sam says". still nice graphics though.

Nice job remixing an classic game. I enjoyed the art. I'm not really a fan of memory games, so I only went through 8 or 9 rounds. My only suggestion would be to let the player repeat the pattern as fast as they want.

It goes with the theme well, but like some other people said it would be nice if you didn't have to wait until the sound stopped playing to click the next one so you could go faster.

graphics are nice but to have to wait so much each time I want to press the buttons is rather frustrating after a while D:

Tricky little game, I love the pixel art. I try to imagine lines connecting them all in my head, but that plan starts to fail pretty quickly when they go back and forth. :)

Thank you all for play the game.
Future improvements:
* Better sounds. Sorry for the loud sounds.
* Gradually speed up as you play.
* Remove the delay between button presses.
* Pro mode: reorder the objects occasionally

Like the graphics and the bleeps, only minor complaint was minor difficulty telling sounds apart when played consecutively by the same object.

Great visuals set to the classic simons says. really well done. Only possible critique would be allowing the player to repeat the sequence without waiting for the sound to end.

Nice pixelated graphics! Gameplay can get tedious overtime (since you have to wait unitl the sound finishes to click the next object).

This might work - a musical simon says with good looks but I think it's simply a tad too slow. Speeding it up a bit could make the game more engaging, especially if the length of the notes would also be variable. Good job on the aesthetics, one of the best true pixel art I've seen so far on this dare.

Nice interpretation of the theme. Althout soudn memory games exist I enjoyed yours witht he nice pixelart and sounds.

It's a pity that the game is a bit slow to play (as already onzephyr says). It might be better with more reactivity. :)
