I spent a while rocking out to the chiptune.

Very pleasant game, I enjoy the philosophical take on Minimalist. I wonder, do you need to listen to all of them before you find kitten? I'm pretty sure I did.

I'm giving graphics an N/A on this one, since they're clearly not the point.

Brilliant, I loved it.

I was disappointed when I finished it because I had to stop searching. Great game!!

Very enjoyable.

Unique and interesting. Makes me wish more games incorporated spatial sound into gameplay.

Very interesting - quite enjoyable! Just wish it ran a bit faster.

Well thought out idea, and well executed!

good times. Loved the humor

This is amazing. Is this how a robot sees things? Runs fine here, and the concept is gold. Thanks, and good luck in the contest!

Excellent game, the audio was great. Thank you for making this.

Great use of audio for gameplay. The first time i tried I couldn't find the kitten at all. The second time I literally tried 3 boxes and found him. Not sure if that is what was supposed to happen?

This game is crazy good. It really focuses on the simple objectives and doesn't add a bunch of silly stuff.

dotteri 2013-04-30 21:08

Nice use of espatial sound =). Those beats scare me...

edocentrique 2013-05-02 08:45

Very cool !

tipyx 2013-05-02 16:49

Very pleasant, but too short :p

kddekadenz 2013-05-02 16:55

Yay :D Does the kitten block always have the same color?? Cool idea, but veeeery short game. Also, moving the mouse makes playing the game quite tricky.

I enjoyed it! It was simple, but fun.

fritzendugan 2013-05-02 18:18

Very well done, awesome concept. I wish that rather than place the kitten randomly, the game just required you to listen to all of the sounds and put the kitten in the last one, because I'm sure there are some gems I missed out on (and, sorry, but I don't feel like replaying haha).

I don't know if you recorded all the sounds yourself or not, but they are very well done. Like others have said, I rocked out to the chiptune track for a bit. Only complaint is that sometimes the squares were too close together and it made the sounds merge into each other which was kind of annoying. I felt like it detracted a lot from the quieter sound.

Great idea, it's fun to play this game. I quickly found the box with the barking dog and thought the kitten must be nearby, but it wasn't :)

Very cool entry! Simple, but engaging and quite a unique experience - well done! However, you do know that you are not allowed to use recordings found on the internet in your compo entry, right ? These do quite sound like stock audio - correct and forgive me if I'm wrong but otherwise this should be a Jam entry.

prelucid 2013-05-03 02:04

Great use of sound.

sestren 2013-05-04 00:48

I happened to find the kitten on my first try, so I had to play again to realize there was more content than that. The sound effects were nice additions to the descriptions.

waynetron 2013-05-05 02:31

It was actually quite fun listening to all the sounds.

lightnarcissus 2013-05-05 03:04

Great audio and great use of the theme to construct a game on a simple mechanics. After listening to those tunes, I can't help but dish out a high score for audio. :3

minionstudios 2013-05-05 03:07

Wow. I heard the kitten.

tinydrakkarstudio 2013-05-05 19:10

Good idea the kitten sound... graphics can be better but for 48h that's good. ... i like to find kitten ... that was funny and not easy :)

spiridion 2013-05-10 21:13

Love it! A sound based game! Could use some more depth, but the variety of sounds and humor were great.

gatechgrad 2013-05-10 22:39

Really liked the use of sounds in this game.

stevejohnson 2013-05-10 22:42

Not much depth, but you knew that. Your kitten sound is very well-recorded. (I hope you created all the sounds yourself in the 48 hours or you should be in the jam instead.) Important part: I had some fun.

kill0u 2013-05-10 23:06

Hmm.. First try: first block I encountered was the kitty x)
2nd try was not that easy though, nice game, greate concept and amazing sfx!

recursor 2013-05-11 00:27

This was really fun! Congratulations on a unique entry.

martin_monosys 2013-05-11 16:00

Some funny and cute sounds, especially liked the animals... :)
Nice game overall, only question is : Where did you get the sound of the summer night during the 48 hours? It's not summer already, is it ? :)

linuus 2013-05-12 08:48

Cool game, loved the audio.. I didn't really cared for the visuals.. maybe you could've removed the all together?

ethankennerly 2013-05-12 19:46

Listening to the boxes interested me. If you continue to develop this, after hearing several boxes yet no kitty, I lost interest.
