Great idea for the art / game style :D

Really nice. Well done :D. Bit hard to understand at first.

Hard one, but still great concept and fit perfectly to the theme !

Game Watch!, very cool

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!

Great idea and great game overall!!

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!

pretty hard, but the game&watch graphics are awesome!

FredericRP30 Apr 2013, 09:48

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 visuals ;)

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.

Really nice game! Well done :)

Awesome Visuals, Love it!

GranaDa1 May 2013, 20:32

Awesome Presentation! Love it!

I liked it as a game and watch game, but it was kind of frustrating when I couldn't really understand it.

Uhfgood2 May 2013, 07:02

Interesting but hard for me to figure it out

joe400012 May 2013, 11:47

Instructions could be a tiny bit clearer otherwise great job.

jerombd2 May 2013, 11:56

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 :/

lotusgame2 May 2013, 16:43

a good old game in HTML 5 that incrédible :D

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!!! :)

Brassawiking19 May 2013, 16:04

Super art style, nailed the game and watch feel. Couldnt really understand what to do though...

Sestren19 May 2013, 23:52

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.
