This a puzzle game, i can't understand if it's too hard or too simple...
Hint: Watch your keyboard and think laterally!
Let me know in the comment!

I'm also stucked on the N but the idea is great and fit the theme awesomely \o/.
Also, as simple as it is, it's really polished.
Stuck on N too. Took me a while to figure out what to do, which was a little frustrating, but nice concept! Aesthetically really nice.
Wow... sorry for the N stage then...maybe it's too early?? I won't spoiler the solution here, though :) Ask on IRC Chat on #ludumdare i will be there!! thanks :)
Couldn't go further than 'N' like everyone. I'm a bit frustrated because I'm sure it could have been fun.
That was interesting. I did quite like it. The time limit (there was a time limit right?) stressed me out more than was perhaps necessary. I did figure it out on the first try though.
Absolutely fantastic, great use of simple graphics to convey the hints. It took me a few tries, and I felt exceedingly clever when I figured them out. Bravo.
Took me a long time to get. I don't really like the idea of mashing keys until something happens. Also, I don't hear a dog barking. The music is very quiet.
Unfortunately I can't play this because qwerty (I guess) is hardcoded and this is not my keymap.
Really clever puzzle game. It took a while of keyboard mashing to figure it out, but after realising how to figure the game out it was really fun. Nicely done!
Wow, great puzzle.
Incredibly frustrating to get started. I wouldn't have even considered pushing through if I hadn't seen the strong comments and your invitation to ask you questions in chat. Well done.
That was frustrating.. and the last one was downright cruel =)
Refreshingly different.
A really minimal and elegant design here!
I took me a while to go further in the game, but eventually I did it. I think you could make a longer game based on this. :)
Awesome game! Difficult to pick up at first, I spent at least 5 minutes just mashing keys and gave up, until I read the comments.
Got stuck on the last letter for awhile, took a lot of trial and error.
Interesting idea. Never really understood some of the letters, whilst others made sense eventually.
I solved it but never really understood what I was doing. There seemed to be some correlation to the on screen blocks and the keyboard on a couple of them. Neat visual/color theme.
I like this one, more than usual for this genre. The graphical style and sound are great. I got stuck at MINIM though. I feel like I understand what it's asking, but since nothing works, I guess not!
Took me awhile to get 'A', but once I did I realize it wasn't all that hard. Cool game. Short, but unique and visually pleasing.
Woha, absolutely no indication on what to do, and i think everyone still figure out how to play! Nice work!

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.
Can't for the life of me figure out N.
It's not a question of whether or not it's too hard or too simple, but more if people can work out arbitrary key stokes based on vague placement of rectangles and no visual feed back...
