PICK A FINGER.\n\nI liked \"reverse engineering\" a drum machine. In terms of UI, one request would be that clicking a slot would play the sound that that slot makes, so I don't need to actually put something in the slot and play the whole sequence just to learn what sound that slot makes.\n\nOther than that I thought the moment-to-moment was pretty fun, but it dragged on too long (there wasn't enough variation to support 10 rounds - maybe could have limited to one hand each). And when I finally got all 10 fingers, there was no ending? It just said \"Take this\" and there was no tape and nothing to grab and so I just had to quit.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1192425,"author_name":"LesDremlet","author_uid":"lesdremlet","epoch":1776708305,"text":"@torte478 Thanks, glad you liked it!","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1192433,"author_name":"LesDremlet","author_uid":"lesdremlet","epoch":1776708357,"text":"@matt-giuca Damn, I was in such a hurry to release the game that I didn't even have time to test the final version.

Also being able to swap tapes but without getting back the listens you already used. And maybe give each tape a special ability like taking away two lives at once instead of one, stuff like that.\n\nHaha nice joke!

The cutting fingers off was very unexpected but added some humor and a nice break in between rounds. I think it was a bit too easy, especially considering the fact that you get to listen to your track before you submit it. I think you could easily add difficulty levels by limiting the number of times you're allowed to play back the track you make. Also a sandbox mode where you can create your own rhythms with different instruments would be neat. For a full game, I would also like to know the story behind why two men are cutting each other's fingers off over rhythm matching lol. \nOverall, really nice game and great execution on a cool concept!
