I liked the procedural audio, but I feel like the goal of the game and how to reach it wasn't adequately communicated. Fun to mess with though!

It's fun to make random stufff lol, but i miss the game goal ):
4/5 !
This is cool, but I was never really sure how to reach the goal. Love the game-of-life / mixer combo of mechanics, and the music worked really well. Random amusing comments made me smile too.
I have no idea what I was doing, but I got to listen to some amazing beats.
I really like the sounds :). I didnt complete the game though, unsure how to actually do that, my mix seemed pretty acceptable.
Hmm, I don't get the rules of the "game" and you say that even you can't reliably open the door. There must be a clear solution, otherwise it's not a game but a lock.
I like the idea behind it but without a ruleset that tells me how to win, it's just random clicking around.
Fun random game! Wish you can explain about the game, what the colours mean etc. somewhere?
It was pretty fun to mess with the cubes and get different beats. I had to jump out the windows because i coudnt open the door XD!
Cool idea but I'm not really even sure what to do, sounds nice tho.
Instruction was unclear, ended with 3 mix albums and recording studio contract:D
Was fun to mess with this cubes, creating musical variations
Music really shines, makes just the rhythmic clicking kinda fun.
I also liked using the window as a game exit device, especially since so many unity gamejam games don't exit gracefully hehe...
Listening to music and clicking boxes!
Interesting entry. It probably would have been a little bit better in 2D.
Hey, that's certainly a cool concept and the sound is pretty neat. The way the boxes turn when you click them is oddly satisfying. Plus it's kind of funny you yourself don't really know how to beat the game realiably. :D
It looks cool, and the music is good, but I have absolutely no idea what the aim is
I tried this when I only had about 10 minutes, and that wasn't enough. I came back another time to experiment a bit more.
I definitely enjoyed the vibe, and created some nice tracks. Like the other commenters I was unclear on the goal and it didn't become clear to me even with some experimentation, but maybe that's not so bad if I enjoy tweaking around in there.
Aside from the goal, I think I could have used more direct feedback on the state of things. #1 feature I wished for was the ability to know where in the loop the mixer was. I would have liked the cube to pulse to a larger size as the beat triggers it, or to have a little hat hop along, much like the red light that runs along the beat with a drum machine.
Because many of the musical elements were long-form, such as the echoes synth hit or the sustained bass note, their quantized position was a little less than obvious to me. I could have perhaps used a solo/mute pair of buttons per color, so that in addition to experimenting with the matrix itself I could isolate certain elements to learn and observe more in detail.
The other indirection that got me early on was the multi-step rotation of the cube. If it simply flipped immediately to the destination state I might have ramped up into understanding a little more quickly, as the lingering ongoing changes confused me at the start.
That's like, too many features to request obviously!
I did have fun with this, treating it as both a puzzle and a mood piece, but I didn't get over the hump to truly understanding the computer's wish for my mix. "No green" was not the answer. ;)
An intriguing and atmospheric puzzle box, nice work.
Interesting gameplay with an interesting mechanics. It could be improved with other features, but I had fun playing it. Nice sounds ++
