The game was fun, had a good laugh with a friend. Unfortunately it seemed somewhat impossible unless your fingers were very flexible, or had really good RNG (maybe, unproven so far for both cases).
Cute little game! Definitely a fun minigame to challenge a friend to. My one criticism is that it didn't feel very relevant to the theme. I liked the way the fingers on the hand stretched to the keys you were pressing. That was a funny way of visually presenting the game that added a nice touch to it overall. Great work!
Very fun game with a nice aesthetic and music. Only minor gripes would be that the music didn't loop very well and it didn't seem very connected to the theme. Otherwise amazing job, look forward to seeing more.
Fun game, the music is great. I'm not sure if it's theme related, I maybe missed it. For me, it sometimes cannot register more than 3 or 4 keys but sometimes 5 work fine (I use Chrome)
Really made me laugh. Simple idea, but a great result. What is actually a very big problem though is, yes, that most keyboards do not support so many simultaneous keypresses in a close region. Often even as few as 3 is too many. This really breaks the game, sadly.
Really want to play this one but for some reason the game doesn't show up in my browsers (Chrome / Edge) after the instructions screen. Could you submit a downloadable version on itch? :)
Really well done and definitely one of the most original LD games I've ever played!
- Kudos for having the instructions in the game so I didn't need to scroll down the page to read them (a small thing, but especially when your playing games in quick succession, really helps) - I like how it requires some honestly from the player as the game obviously can't tell which finger you're using.
Thanks everyone for checking out my game and the nice comments! I've uploaded a small Post-Jam update that adds a desktop version as well as fixes the music looping. You can download the desktop version on itch!
Love this! So much fun. Some of the combinations are impossible though :laughing:. This would make a great addition to some sort of party game. Love the graphics and the music. Great job!
Really good graphics and mood!!!! It glitched too many times for me; but it wasn't a hardware limitation, as I could press up to 5 keys sometimes and others it wouldn't recognize past 3 and I had to reload the page. However, if you fix that you have a solid and good little game! I'd maybe touch a little the randomness of the key and finger asignation as some are impossible, but I guess that's part of the charm too.
@pablodap thanks for the feedback! It's still a hardware limitation, the way the keys of your keyboard are wired makes it so sometimes you can press 5 keys but sometimes not, depending on the combination.
Love the idea. Would start it a bit easier with a smaller selection of keys that are easier to reach then build from there. maybe also require only 3 fingers to start then work your way up to the full 10. Also, I echo the sentiment that it didn't fit the theme. Clever and fun game nonetheless!
I very much liked the music! It's a funny concept, I always want to make that kind of game because we tend to forget the many keys we can work with using keyboards. For a real twister experience though you'd have to introduce multiplayer! I didn't quite get the link to the theme, unless it's your fingers you're supposed to sacrifice, I shall accept that answer. Nice rendering too, dithering always warms my heart :)
"pretty much requires a mechanical keyboard or a keyboard with N-key rollover" -- agree with this statement. I was extremely proud of myself once I got a green key though. ...I had to use my other hand to force the last finger into position. xD
Unique game but great idea. Very polished. Super fun too! It is very satisfying to get a green key the way the whole keyboard lights up with green. Played this one with enjoyment. Great job!
Aesthetic wise, really popped out. A clean game to play, great use of the theme too. But gameplay wise, it can be a problem to some keyboards, the stretched fingers may cover the other keys (which can be difficult on some people who can't recall that easily) and gets repetitive too quick.
Very unique concept, and cool retro-y graphics. First game so far where I played Twister with my fingers :p Regardless of my keyboard not always cooperating with registering all the key presses I needed (like it said might happen in-game on the right), the game worked well overall and was fun to play.

The filter on the visuals and the BGM are both really nice and fit the mood.
Round 2: Two hands!!

Thanks to @spierek for the suggestion. :)
Gonna have this soundtrack playing in my head now for days!
I can easily imagine myself trying this out with a couple of friends, taking turns between rounds. Great job.
i like how it says "for educational use only" at the bottom XD
i used both hands. there was no way to beat it with just one lol
Here's my score out of about 200:
