Nice random 10-second minigames.

Guys, your colors make my eyes bleed. Please, desaturate it a bit. Puzzles are good

Love the music and the puzzles. Also that the piano note puzzle coincided with the music on the background. The tile puzzles were more of a time crunch. The game is a bit short, which is a pity. But still fun to go through.

Nice take on the theme! I like how it is very quick to get into the game and start playing. The intro logo etc. maybe had a bit more polish than the game itself. :sweat_smile:

A bit short but I enjoyed the game. Music and arts fits the mood very well.

Not even a challenge. Only hard part is the math question.

Nice little game. Love the music and the design and also the puzzles! Well done :)

the idea is nice but much too short and too little. The alternation of the tasks, that you do not just have to enter everything the second time you play but have to think again is great. The music was too loud, but a nice feeling :D

Very short but quite fun. Would love to see some sort of endless mode with it.

Top notch mood and neat little mini games - I enjoyed it!

@brandsma Nice catch, thank you!! Indeed, I improvised the piano piece in A minor specifically, so that hopefully the random white key notes generated in the piano puzzle would all blend in well and seem like they’re part of the track

Very simple mini games. I like the direction you're going with the art and music pieces. I could really get pulled into a game like this with a little more challenge. I had some waiting time for the next 10 second round. Keep it up> I'd love to see where this could go.

Very simple minigames. I would have liked a twist on some of the minigames though

Nice concept, but it needs a few more challenging mini games.

The music was the highlight for me for sure. It was really moody and having the music puzzle was a nice touch. I think you could have leaned into that a bunch, like tuning the puzzle rotations with SFX or the notepad or something. The game felt like it was missing SFX in general. I also think having something be animated would make things feel more alive.

Pretty solid! More puzzles and more variety would've been appreciated. Also maybe swap out the math puzzles for something else - perhaps a word-related challenge instead?

Fantastic idea and really well executed! Loved the art and sound design of this - really gave it a spooky but surreal feel. I liked the variety of puzzles and that there was some randomisation to make repeat runs feel more unique. Like everyone else, I only wish there were more puzzles - but overall I think this is a fantastic submission! Great job

I always love a good micro minigame game. Like the other said, more puzzles and honestly some sound effects would make this game awesome as hell.
