I just used up all my energy and made patterns, and was winning levels. I couldn't tell if the waveforms I was making were impacting the audio, so it felt like my choices didn't matter. If the patterns *did* affect the music, I wish the pattern was highlighted in time to the music. Again, I'm not musically sophisticated, so I'm not sure if I'm in the target audience.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1199919,"author_name":"Pegasus","author_uid":"pegasus","epoch":1776794746,"text":"Really cool concept for a rogue lite. I love the balatro vibe and it seems to fit nicely with the theming. The music was chill and fitting, wish there was more sound effects to give feedback. I love the art style also, the animations for the playhead with the flying numbers are really satisfying. My one compliant is that I never really knew what was giving me higher numbers and couldn't really tell what made one strategy good and another bad. Ended up making it to the 5k amount though which seems to be the cap for the challenge so I wasn't really struggling, just not sure how you could fail it if that makes sense. Really good job overall though!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1200464,"author_name":"cupofmilk7","author_uid":"cupofmilk7","epoch":1776799151,"text":"cool idea!! it would be awesome to see more variations of signals","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1200487,"author_name":"LDJam user 425464","author_uid":"425464","epoch":1776799330,"text":"Cool concept!
