Hard one, but still great concept and fit perfectly to the theme !
I was rather confused by it, but eventually at least figure out what to do. Despite it all, I was very pleased overall, excellent work!
Man I just love these Game Watch-like games. Yours is great. Found it a bit hard to understand, but this is great. One of the best ones I've seem this LD so far. Congratulations!
Graphics are awesome, it really looks like and old game & watch !
Too bad that does not create a melody (or maybe I didn't understand something) even with some beeps ?
Very good art, superb imitation of Game & Watch ! But maybe a little too easy ?
Great ! Just a bit unfortunate that once opened design look like a fake Game & Watch, but this is not a fault or inconsistent so far.
(I give you a bonus point, because I also made a game & watch on last LD ;) )
thank you for the comments!
@nSun your old "game&waste" is better than this one ;)
Very inspired, had some difficulty mastering. Graphics were awesome!
This made me nostalgia, reminded me of a pocket game I had as a kid. Very interesting for how simple it is.
I liked it as a game and watch game, but it was kind of frustrating when I couldn't really understand it.
Yeah, Celticraft49 & Uhfgood you're quite right; everytime I make the same mistake in those gamejams: I begin to draw the artworks THEN I try to find a gameplay fitting the look I want. That's why the goals are not really well designed and difficult to understand :/
Love the G&W look, those games were always great! They were easy to start, yet hard to let go again. They were truly minimal, but great fun... Sorry to say that your game does not really fulfill all my nostalgic dreams... it's just a bit too complicated with all those buttons, and a bit too quiet for a musical game. But the looks are great, anyway!!! :)
Super art style, nailed the game and watch feel. Couldnt really understand what to do though...
I love the look of old LCD games, and you've captured it dead on! The gameplay was hard to figure out at first, but once I did getting points seemed easy.
Very good idea to make a G&W game. I think the concept is a bit too harder to understand to be a real G&W like, but it's cool.
Thank you all for the comments! ...so I really have to improve my skills in the gameplay department for the future gamejams!

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Great idea for the art / game style :D
