What are the controls?
Did you develop this for a European keyboard or something?
It's extremely hard on QWERTY. I had to turn the keyboard sideways just to get to 10.
Well, I figured out the controls, though it took me a few minutes. Which is a bit odd, because you basically spelled them out right there on the screen. It's interesting how you can make something so obvious (the comma to start the game) that players didn't realize it (or at least I didn't at first). Figuring out that A and Q did something different from the arrow key took me a little while too.
Not sure if I'm being particularly dense today, or its something about the interface.
Also, my highscore was 3.
I should have won: http://new.tinygrab.com/b62f170e02f45ea9082a9af29c06bf7449a2feedbd.png
There appears to be a bug: http://new.tinygrab.com/b62f170e0292dbb4c37a109eca1d42189340cf28c6.png
Challenging.... but unique
I didn't get it at first still I banged on the keyboard, then it started, like kochb said... unique
Cool concept! I agree with previous comments regarding the controls, maybe left/right would've been easier :)
I got to 16 but only, because there is a bug where the counter seems to get stuck at 01 and does not descrese when you drop smething on it
Ghaaaaaa... my fingers ache!
Truly the National Month of Pushing Spacebar of minimal LD games. :)
My highscore was 3 :/
Nice game though!
I can't seem to replicate the bug but I think it's fixed now?
Not going to review the game yet, but the navigation on your website is awesome.
I really like how mimetic the AQ keys are here. The way the player's actions outside the game mirrors the response in the game does a lot of the game's feel.
There's no way I'm going to be able to get by two 80-ish challenges in a row, though. My current high score is 8.
Annoying that there doesn't seem to be any level scaling. I've been started off on 80s numerous times which I find near-impossible to complete. True to the theme although it could have done with a little instruction.
I don't get how this fits with the theme... or anything really. :/
Needs more gameplay and less button mashing if you ask me. :P
My fingers hate you! AQ AQ AQ AQ!
Fun and enjoyable game
I never raped my keyboard keys so much as this - awesome :D
I am really bad at this game - I can't mash the keyboard fast enough :P It looks very nice at least!
I'm not sure what I played, but I enjoyed it! My fingers not so much, though ;)
I cannot push the buttons fast enough, a and q are quite hard to mash while using the arrow keys on a QWERTY keyboard. I like your pixel art hands though, they are very nice.
I scored 50 before I gave up and nothing unusual happened. :(
Very cool graphics, and nice website!!!
The gameplay is a bit poor after 3 hands..
As someone else said, the mimetic interactions are great. Hopefully that was intentional. My forearm burns a bit from the rapid keypresses. Got to 10 points before I let myself lose.
No way I'm able to fire 66 without using some keyboard hack :/
The comma was cerebral. I got it quite quickly, I wonder if others will :P
After getting over 10 points I felt like I was missing something, hopefully your "there might be something special (or weird) waiting for you" wasn't just you being cruel. :P
Your game is so AQ!
