It really gave me a nostalgia trip back to playing with Flash Sound mixers on Newgrounds. This one was unique in that I don't think Ive seen any of these with a distinctive Sci Fi\/Planetary Exploration Twist. I think you can really run with this concept. Add some more plants that you can grow a world with, giving you more tones, and you'd be good. You could make a simple yet fun sound mixing game that people could then share with friends on say Facebook. Making sharable Sci-Fi tunes. \n\nOtherwise nice work. I showcased this game in my first Ludum Dare 38 showcase vid. \n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Kxb8N-An7GY","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"longchamps","author_uid":"1012000","time":"2017-04-27T04:14:39Z","epoch":1493266479,"modified":1493266479,"text":"Very fun to play around with.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"spacedoubt","author_uid":"1006389","time":"2017-05-01T03:42:12Z","epoch":1493610132,"modified":1493610132,"text":"I love that.

A few things that I found a little frustrating in terms of usability, though:\n\nClick-hold shouldn't toggle a plant in a square.  Many times I would try to click-drag to rotate the sequencer and accidentally plant something as well, which then interrupts the rotation because I have to go back and re-toggle it.  It was also a bit difficult to visualize the full verticality for a given step in the sequencer.  This made me have to rotate more than I felt I should have to, which would then lead to the other issue happening more.\n\nNot the biggest issues, but wanted to point them out as something that could be improved.  Great work overall!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Brothers Arcade","author_uid":"1024661","time":"2017-05-08T19:40:36Z","epoch":1494272436,"modified":1494272436,"text":"Great little experience, almost meditative.

I wish I was more musically inclined so I could make a clever tune with this, but I very much enjoyed playing around with this regardless. The UI is simple and clear and your choice of colours is super appealing. \n\nOnly suggestion I can really think of is having the option to spin the world round with WASD or the arrow keys. I think that would be pretty handy.\n\nSorry I don't have much in the way of constructive feedback.
