I liked literally going deeper and deeper into this world.

Plus you start zooming in as soon as you check what the note sounds like, which made it hard to compare to check if you got the right one.

The game does not give any real direction from what I can tell, it just says there is a puzzle and leaves the player to try exploring and see what they can find. I think that, chasing notes that fit some pattern, and then switching patterns some time, is a method of exploration that the game essentially incentivizes, and this is very cool because it results in the player having to just, try random things and see where it takes them.\n\nOne thing I enjoyed trying in particular was hitting several of the notes before traveling deeper. Creating these little non-rhythmic melodies along with the rest of the soundscape was cool. And even though it didn't lead anywhere in a *game* sense, I still enjoyed it--and I think that's the point.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":705022,"author_name":"Brice Mahier","author_uid":"brice-mahier","epoch":1621219917,"text":"Still wandering in an endless infinite zooming life, trying to get the real meaning of life... just kidding, nice game!","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":705591,"author_name":"DoctaDragon","author_uid":"doctadragon","epoch":1621277644,"text":"Quite an enjoyable experience, rummaging through the different circles trying to find the green \"stars\" was really entertaining.
