Thank you :)
Yes, is not very original. I don't have a lot of free time.
I'm a sucker for memory games. Nice pixels. I'd only recommend that maybe it gradually speeds up as you play, and that there's no delay between button presses (that is, so you can hit them as fast as you want).
It has cool-looking pixel art but there isn't much else to it if you kno wut I mean.
Magnus Thank you for playing.
Yes the gameplay is very simple (minimalist?) ;)
Looks excellent. I thought that big speaker would have a deeper sound!
tompudding Thank you.
XD It's the sk4 record player http://bit.ly/12HMKRe
The art is great, however I wish there was more feedback in the game play to let you know when it is your turn and when you should be paying attention.
While the idea is not original, the graphics are awesome! This type of game is fun every once in a while :).
Nice visuals and mood, do you know the works of Pippin Barr? It made me think of it
glbs thank you. No i didn't know him, thank you for the reference.
Lovely pixelly machinery, but the game got tiresome. Was annoyed I didn't have a chance to play the turntable before I failed.
Jonathan Whiting Thank you.
Good idea, i have to ass a free play mode :)
Hi, it looks very nice but I didn't have much fun playing it unfortunately. I think the delay before pressing a button kills it.
Nice art! I think the volume could be turned down a little, it is very loud, not recommended for people using headphones! Classic gameplay, the only complaint i have is the instruments aren't very responsive: if the player could click in the sequence faster it would be smoother. Overall nice work, congrats!
Sexy version of simon says!
There was an odd desync between the tones and the actual movement of the objects, and that threw me off. Otherwise, nice job!
Awesome art/design! In terms of gameplay, though, I wish that it moved a little faster.
Nice job :)
It's a minimalist version of the Simon game and it looks great ^^ Nice pixel art
Oh man, great graphics, but seeing all that DJ gear REALLY makes me want to hear sounds! =D
I loved the art! It feels slowly ( the delay on buttons is frustrating ) Good Job!
@Filth and Money @MartianWatts Thank you.
Yes, i know the issue. I have to fix it.
Thanks for this game, I need some inspiration for an adver game I'm doing right now, Simon dice is the base idea?
@juanix You're welcome.
Please tweet the link to me if you use the idea in your own game.
Yes, is based in the simon game http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_(game)
@juaxix yes i am from Spain
I have to clean the code, and fix some bugs :)
I like the pixels, but my ears bleed with that high tunes! >_<
Technically this is cool, but it´s basically "sam says". still nice graphics though.
Nice job remixing an classic game. I enjoyed the art. I'm not really a fan of memory games, so I only went through 8 or 9 rounds. My only suggestion would be to let the player repeat the pattern as fast as they want.
It goes with the theme well, but like some other people said it would be nice if you didn't have to wait until the sound stopped playing to click the next one so you could go faster.
graphics are nice but to have to wait so much each time I want to press the buttons is rather frustrating after a while D:
Tricky little game, I love the pixel art. I try to imagine lines connecting them all in my head, but that plan starts to fail pretty quickly when they go back and forth. :)
Thank you all for play the game.
Future improvements:
* Better sounds. Sorry for the loud sounds.
* Gradually speed up as you play.
* Remove the delay between button presses.
* Pro mode: reorder the objects occasionally
Like the graphics and the bleeps, only minor complaint was minor difficulty telling sounds apart when played consecutively by the same object.
Great visuals set to the classic simons says. really well done. Only possible critique would be allowing the player to repeat the sequence without waiting for the sound to end.
Thank you @JohnnySix and @onzephyr.
As you can see, remove the delay between button presses is on the list of future improvements :)
I came here for the pixel art. I love the visual style. I had trouble getting past a handful of different sound patterns.
@angelk Thank you.
It's my first LD and my second mini-game. The next will be better :)
Cool! But it felt a little slow at times, having to wait for the sound to finish...
Nice pixelated graphics! Gameplay can get tedious overtime (since you have to wait unitl the sound finishes to click the next object).
Graphically interesting idea and a minimalistic fun to play game mechanic.
Nice pixel style and audio, it was strangely mesmerising
This might work - a musical simon says with good looks but I think it's simply a tad too slow. Speeding it up a bit could make the game more engaging, especially if the length of the notes would also be variable. Good job on the aesthetics, one of the best true pixel art I've seen so far on this dare.
Fun and re playable! The simon-says aspect will never get old.
hmm... I couldn't really hear the sounds and there isn't really an interesting game mechanic. At least it looks cool! :)
Nice interpretation of the theme. Althout soudn memory games exist I enjoyed yours witht he nice pixelart and sounds.
Nice pixel graphics.
It's a pity that the game is a bit slow to play (as already onzephyr says). It might be better with more reactivity. :)
- SEPHY (@sephyka)
The art was nicely done, wish the sound effects reflected the device they were coming from! I'm familiar with the gameplay, so I didn't play very long.
I really like the art stile. But I'm sorry to say, not the game. I would have loved to play around with the devices or something like that.

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.

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.
Nice game, it's nothing new but it kept me playing for a while >.< .It'd be nice to have leaderboards to compare highscores.
P.D.: I love the art style.
