Fun idea and nice music :)

It stuck to the theme but appealed to me as more of a toy than a game.

Thanks guys! Yeah, I added the "do in as few click as possible" to try to make it more game-like. It's a toy/widget/art/game :D

I liked the originality of this and the attempt to do some generative music :) I can see elements of this being turned in to a more fully-developed music game.

Music games are always fun to play. I like the concept very much, but it's really hard to get into the game. Maybe start slowly with less blocks and increase them with subsequent levels.

Step 267: The potato monster is still strong. I wonder if this will be my end. I made some potato soup today. It was delicious.

Woops, wrong comment on wrong game :D

Here's the real comment though :P

I had hard time understanding how the game works, the visual cue of what happens for each click could've been better. I managed to win the game just by random clicking the first time, and tried to get a better score the second time by following the rules. Fun idea nonetheless, music games are close to my heart. :) (Sorry about the hassle in the two previous comments, I had multiple tabs open and forgot to check which one I was rating after playing the game)

Really interesting, but the rules were too complicated for me to grasp easily (too many variables at once), and it was more fun just to click and listen. I think if you wanted it to be a successful game, there would have to be more direct control, and fewer rules, if that makes any sense. But it's really cool as is.

Enjoyed watching the colours and tried to predict both sounds and how to get patterns I wanted, unfortunately didn't succeed at that. Fun toy to play with though.

Nice sound design.
