Can't for the life of me figure out N.
It's not a question of whether or not it's too hard or too simple, but more if people can work out arbitrary key stokes based on vague placement of rectangles and no visual feed back...

I'm also stucked on the N but the idea is great and fit the theme awesomely \o/.
Also, as simple as it is, it's really polished.

Stuck on N too. Took me a while to figure out what to do, which was a little frustrating, but nice concept! Aesthetically really nice.
I was stuck on N as well. Nice clean design though.
I haven't figured yet the N. Help us!
Great idea, however!

Wow... sorry for the N stage then...maybe it's too early?? I won't spoiler the solution here, though :) Ask on IRC Chat on #ludumdare i will be there!! thanks :)
Just wonderful!

Couldn't go further than 'N' like everyone. I'm a bit frustrated because I'm sure it could have been fun.

That was interesting. I did quite like it. The time limit (there was a time limit right?) stressed me out more than was perhaps necessary. I did figure it out on the first try though.

Absolutely fantastic, great use of simple graphics to convey the hints. It took me a few tries, and I felt exceedingly clever when I figured them out. Bravo.
Took me a long time to get. I don't really like the idea of mashing keys until something happens. Also, I don't hear a dog barking. The music is very quiet.

Unfortunately I can't play this because qwerty (I guess) is hardcoded and this is not my keymap.
Got 'minim'... pretty neat game.
Really clever puzzle game. It took a while of keyboard mashing to figure it out, but after realising how to figure the game out it was really fun. Nicely done!
Wow, great puzzle.
Incredibly frustrating to get started. I wouldn't have even considered pushing through if I hadn't seen the strong comments and your invitation to ask you questions in chat. Well done.
Ah, ah! Surprising! I really appreciated it!

That was frustrating.. and the last one was downright cruel =)
Refreshingly different.

A really minimal and elegant design here!
I took me a while to go further in the game, but eventually I did it. I think you could make a longer game based on this. :)
Awesome game! Difficult to pick up at first, I spent at least 5 minutes just mashing keys and gave up, until I read the comments.

Got stuck on the last letter for awhile, took a lot of trial and error.
Nice concept and great style. Bit frustrating though ;)
Interesting idea. Never really understood some of the letters, whilst others made sense eventually.
I solved it but never really understood what I was doing. There seemed to be some correlation to the on screen blocks and the keyboard on a couple of them. Neat visual/color theme.
I like this one, more than usual for this genre. The graphical style and sound are great. I got stuck at MINIM though. I feel like I understand what it's asking, but since nothing works, I guess not!
Took me awhile to get 'A', but once I did I realize it wasn't all that hard. Cool game. Short, but unique and visually pleasing.
Woha, absolutely no indication on what to do, and i think everyone still figure out how to play! Nice work!
