What I like the most is how tactile the buttons feel. And that is because of the audio of pressing and turning the knobs. Also the animation when you receive the signal makes it exiting to see how close you are.\n\nThe hand drawn art and the little animations make it complete. It is a simple but satisfying experience.

I liked the idea of randomly pressing buttons to see what works and what doesn't until you get it right, and all the different buttons to press, dials to turn, sliders to move etc. were really nice! The objectives also added a ton, making the game way more interesting when aiming for specific ones instead of just always perfects!! Although sometimes, the reward was lower than simply perfecting them instead (eg. 5 purples for 17 points), making it feel a bit bad. Also, the later levels were definitely too much for me and I found myself struggling to perfect things, not to mention chase objectives, and it got a bit repetitive by the end. Still, up to that point I had a lot of fun! I also really liked the graphics and sound effects here, definitely added to the vibe. Overall, very nice entry!","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1192987,"author_name":"LDJam user 409682","author_uid":"409682","epoch":1776718407,"text":"Oh, this is a really interesting idea. I enjoyed puzzling over it and trying to figure out the right combination. It gave me a similar vibe to Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, but played solo and without a timer \u2014 though you still have a limited number of attempts to guess.\n\nIt was a bit hard to keep track of everything, especially if I got distracted and forgot the previous value.

I think the clear art and audio you made. I don't know if it was by design or if I did something wrong on my side, but The music would fade out completely after a while for me. pressing mute and then unmute would fixed it for a bit.

The response time between making a guess and knowing the results was a bit long as well.\n\nThe idea of having objectives that isn't to get a perfect match is awesome though, really fun goal to have.
