I really love this idea! You did a really great job with this, and I love how simple yet difficult it is.

A cool idea! I might be a bit slow, but I never managed to figure out the relationship between the clocks, and it ended up being a random mashing until it get right :)

The graphics are really cute!

I admit mashing the clocks too until I got stuck at level 8. Wasn't too sure what shuffle was doing either? Great idea though, something very different with the theme!

Really excellent use of the theme and a unique idea for a puzzle game as well. I'm not sure what to think of the randomized starts still, but it certainly keeps things fresh and helps reset things when you're stuck.

O dang, this is a cool idea. I had a good time with this. I was in a loud environment, so I couldn't hear the game/rate the audio, but you did a good job coming up with an original idea here.

This is a really cool idea! I'm a little confused about how it works, when you click one stopwatch, does it cause others to get set to a random position? It seemed random, but I'm not completely sure. I also seemed to beat level 8 but never proceed past it, so I'm assuming that's the last level? The sounds that play when clicking are very satisfying. I think this has some potential to be a really fun puzzle game, well done!

I like this take on ten seconds. Reminds me of a minigames you might find in a point and click games.

Very cool take on the theme, I like this puzzle game a lot! I think it's really fun how the difficulty ramps up with more clocks, until you have four and tracking all the clock relations becomes super challenging, I think that's where the fun comes from. Great job, I found myself playing over and over again trying to beat it faster and more systematically, I had a lot of fun with this!

As you said, really frustrating, but also pretty fun! I like this take on the theme a whole lot! Great job!

It was satisfying to synchronize the clocks but to be honest I don't know how they worked exactly besides the 10 second bit. Maybe it would have been good to add some more info to incentivize the player to do it the right way when they have all the information instead of just randomly cicking since that's the way I got to the end. Adding a click limit would also help to actually make the player have to think about it. Overall lovely idea for the theme, just wish it actually made me think about how to synchronize the clocks. Or maybe the goal was to just make it frustrating to synchronize the clocks and there was no puzzle... in which case well done 👏

This was tough! I like your take on the theme, though I definitely struggled to figure out the relationship between different clocks after the first few puzzles.

The design is a pretty clever intepretation of the theme. One of the most innovative one to me. It IS the most annoying puzzle game LOL :joy:
