This was fantastic! The puzzles have a good difficulty and feel very satisfying when you solve them. The presentation was also fantastic, I love the art design. Great work, keep it up :D

Nice geometric graphics, cool sound effects and very polished, cool work ^^

This is top notch. It reminds me a lot of [Sentris](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4r0mJtNENc), if you've ever played that, but the puzzle mechanic in this actually sits more comfortably and doesn't need a heavy tutorial. It might need an extra mechanic to be totally fleshed out, but everything about this game really does work as-is and the only thing I want is more of it.

good job, lovely sound and look!

@triplefox I know (even joined crowd funding) that game, that also looks great but it was hard to understand and play. My policy of making interactive music game is "don't expect player to have any musical skill, just let them play the game, and give feedback by music".

The music in this game creates a nice flow. Levels aren't too hard an make fun, cool entry!

It works damn well! Good job.

Absolutely fantastic! My favorite LD42 game to date!

Excellent work! Every aspect of this game works really well with every other aspect. They all support one another for a very clean package. I really appreciate how every visual in the game serves a gameplay function but still also looks amazing, and the audio is top notch! I'd say this game is ripe for expanding! I appreciated that it was sort of a rhythm game but was more about trial and error and experimentation than twitch skill and response time. Nice work!

@wertle Thank you for playing my game in your stream! I felt relief when you get every mechanics from the game itself with minimum instructions. Yes it's not a "rhythm game", but a "puzzle game that use rhythm patterns".

Super well done man, that game was so cool and beautiful! I liked it a lot:)

raivk 2018-08-19 15:13

Super cool game, the audio is perfect :D you got something super nice ! You could even make it a music composing machine !

geekdrums 2018-08-19 15:41

@raivk Thanks! The answer is up to you, so you are (half) compositing music!

One of the best entries I've played! Although I don't feel it ties to the theme as well, as a game, it's extremely polished and fun. My suggestions would be to make it easier to know when you have a ball lined up, since for me, I had to rotate the rings constantly to know. I think there are some indicators already but I would make them more obvious. But nevertheless, this is a gem! Fantastic entry.

geekdrums 2018-08-20 11:16

@carlos-giraldo Thank you for playing! Indicators of current balls are, animation of transparency. But maybe, previewing the angle of ball with some lines will help make it easier? Thanks for your suggestion.

The Game was fun, I really liked how it looks, but I only did one Level, because I don't have a lot of time right now. I might Complete it sometime later.

geekdrums 2018-08-21 05:44

@gerox There are 6 levels all, try them whenever you have time! Anyway, thanks for playing!

lexyvil 2018-08-21 06:14

Really loved the audio in this! And the gameplay was addicting. I only got slightly stuck in level 4 or 5, but it's definitely addicting.

kromeboy 2018-08-21 11:19

Took me a while to figure out the commands: it could really use some kind of tutorial. Other than that a great entry!

karai17 2018-08-22 06:43

Solid entry. Quite a fun game, well implemented concept. Great job. :)

Beat the game fairly fast, easily one of my favorite games this jam. The presentation is brilliant, the graphics, the music, the transitions. I think what's most important was that you can truly play around in it like it's a sandbox. I didn't have to worry about choosing wrong, I could always revert and figure out another tumbler in the lock. I really enjoyed wrapping my brain around some of the puzzles and thought the game was super engaging. Definitely voting this one high, great job!

pmarincak 2018-09-04 01:13

I really enjoyed this game! Great job! I loved the music! My only comment would be that the puzzles aren't very difficult. Perhaps a difficulty curve would be needed, but it would be nice if there were some puzzles/restrictions where you aren't allowed to have more sound waves going to a slot than allowed, or others where you have to get the exact combination. Or maybe something like "pink has to go here" or puzzles partially filled in. Lots of things you could do! Great job :)

geekdrums 2018-09-04 08:15

@pmarincak Thank you for playing! Yeah I also think difficulty should have been improved. Actally, balancing difficulty and number of solutions and tutorials and musical sense was way more hard than I expected.
