Great graphics. Very funny dialogue, artwork, and theme. Great audio too. I'd like it more if there was a line or timer to indicate when the next set of symbols arrives, and if the symbols deselected at that time - or you queue up your selections that play when the time is up. Nice game!

I wasn't really sure how to play for a while, I feel like some in-game instructions would help. Also the game doesn't scale to different screen sizes. It was too tall for my screen.

Realy great, unique graphic style, audio is pretty interesting as well. I like the setting, specialy the multiple endings space monsters. Keep up the good work

Incredible art (did you use hexels for this?) and the sound for the opera singers was unique and interesting. In light of the other incredible features the actually game falls a bit more on it's face then it should. It wasn't clear to me until the 2nd try what I was supposed to do. communicating my possible actions would've fixed a lot in presenting this intersting gameplay idea.

Superb production values. Love the triangular graphical style - really stands out from the crowd. The characters are brilliant as well and I love the way the different voices all sing in harmony (sort of) - rather difficult game but I enjoyed it and the story aspect really adds to the mood
