Its good to get something that "works" but its also fun to flex and challenge your abilities.

I loved the art style and the little animations. The sound was great, too. Did you record it specifically for the game? That said, the game wasn't really that fun. There's not much to do in it, after all. The rolling "Careful Now" that kept showing up was kind of annoying too. Just let the player mess up and restart if that's the case. No need for a 10 second scrolling text every time I click the wrong button."},{"author_name":"aare","author_uid":"15039","time":"Dec 22, 2015 @ 12:34pm","epoch":1450787340,"text":"I really like this kind of expirience-based games :D What was missing for me was some kind of point or conclusion driven at the end.
