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).

aquilicoco29 Apr 2013, 09:16
Thank you namuol.
Yes, that was planed :)

It has cool-looking pixel art but there isn't much else to it if you kno wut I mean.

aquilicoco29 Apr 2013, 09:31
Magnus Thank you for playing.
Yes the gameplay is very simple (minimalist?) ;)

Looks excellent. I thought that big speaker would have a deeper sound!

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.

tinytouchtales29 Apr 2013, 11:53
Definitely 5 Stars for the Graphics!

While the idea is not original, the graphics are awesome! This type of game is fun every once in a while :).

Thank you omaromeir

Nice visuals and mood, do you know the works of Pippin Barr? It made me think of it

aquilicoco29 Apr 2013, 13:33
glbs thank you. No i didn't know him, thank you for the reference.

Jonathan Whiting29 Apr 2013, 13:43
Lovely pixelly machinery, but the game got tiresome. Was annoyed I didn't have a chance to play the turntable before I failed.

aquilicoco29 Apr 2013, 13:45
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.

aquilicoco29 Apr 2013, 13:59
Thank you Tinco.
Yes, I have to fix this.

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!

Thank you Tiago.

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!

A new take on an old classic!

rogueNoodle29 Apr 2013, 16:01
Awesome art/design! In terms of gameplay, though, I wish that it moved a little faster.
Yarek29 Apr 2013, 18:36
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

MartianWatts30 Apr 2013, 07:20
I loved the art! It feels slowly ( the delay on buttons is frustrating ) Good Job!

Thanks for this game, I need some inspiration for an adver game I'm doing right now, Simon dice is the base idea?

aquilicoco30 Apr 2013, 09:52
@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)

Nice game it kept me playing for a while haha

Sweet art! Kinda boring game. But sweet art!

GreyShock30 Apr 2013, 14:50
I like the pixels, but my ears bleed with that high tunes! >_<

multitude30 Apr 2013, 16:17
Technically this is cool, but it´s basically "sam says". still nice graphics though.

zatyka30 Apr 2013, 19:51
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.

Pixelulsar30 Apr 2013, 19:59
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.
Tsuki_Usagi2 May 2013, 01:11
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:

DustyStylus2 May 2013, 09:33
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. :)

aquilicoco2 May 2013, 09:56
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

JohnnySix3 May 2013, 00:03
Like the graphics and the bleeps, only minor complaint was minor difficulty telling sounds apart when played consecutively by the same object.
onzephyr3 May 2013, 03:29
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.

aquilicoco3 May 2013, 06:27
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.

aquilicoco3 May 2013, 08:15
@angelk Thank you.
It's my first LD and my second mini-game. The next will be better :)

I dug the mundane setting. Keep buzzing those appliances!
Linus Lindberg3 May 2013, 11:36
Cool! But it felt a little slow at times, having to wait for the sound to finish...

AlbertoSM3 May 2013, 13:03
Nice pixelated graphics! Gameplay can get tedious overtime (since you have to wait unitl the sound finishes to click the next object).
saggiosoft3 May 2013, 14:28
Nice game.

donan3 May 2013, 20:18
Good graphics and really fun :D
loxo5 May 2013, 08:55
Graphically interesting idea and a minimalistic fun to play game mechanic.

SecondDimension5 May 2013, 21:55
Nice pixel style and audio, it was strangely mesmerising
Exclamation Mark8 May 2013, 11:13
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.

MinionStudios8 May 2013, 14:41
Fun and re playable! The simon-says aspect will never get old.

sparkleswirl9 May 2013, 01:55
Simple game, but a really refreshing take on the concept.

Dmitrix9 May 2013, 02:40
hmm... I couldn't really hear the sounds and there isn't really an interesting game mechanic. At least it looks cool! :)

bobiniki9 May 2013, 10:26
Nice interpretation of the theme. Althout soudn memory games exist I enjoyed yours witht he nice pixelart and sounds.

TurboDindon9 May 2013, 11:33
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. :)

mildmojo12 May 2013, 21:44
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.

Sylvain.p15 May 2013, 16:05
Nice theme interpretation.
lasergans16 May 2013, 14:59
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.

Brassawiking19 May 2013, 18:22
Needs some twist or a hook to keep going.

hgouveia20 May 2013, 13:43
Cool game, a retro Simon says , i enjoyed it :D

ArtWithoutPrediction28 May 2013, 15:57
Thanks for offering a web version.






P.D.: I love the art style.
