This has to be one of the most boring concepts for a game that I've experienced. The core gameplay centers around matching audio samples with a number of provided samples that have been distorted and need to be correctly tuned using the crank, which turns out to be about as exciting as taking an exam. This truly felt like it belongs in a music theory class, which makes it a terribly dull gameplay experience. The story starts out interesting but rapidly devolves into drivel which offers no compelling reason to continue drudging through the horrendous puzzle sections. Truly one of the most mind numbing games I've had the displeasure of experiencing.

This one has a really nice presentation but mechanically was just really repetitive and uninteresting. Kept waiting for it to add new mechanics to the very simple puzzle, but it just keep making me do more of the one puzzle. Couldn't bother reaching the end.

A ideia de um puzzle de memória musical é bem interessante e a historinha de plano de fundo parecia legal, mas a execução acabou ficando bem repetitiva e cansativa. Talvez em outro momento, mas não hoje.

Juego musical de memoria para Playdate en el que tienes que casar loops con el que estás escuchando. Le habría puesto las cinco estrellitas si no fuera porque 1) se hace un poco largo para mi gusto, y 2) no hay un modo para hacer tus propias mezclas.

I feel like the crank usage in this could have been quite interesting but all it really involved was spinning it forward or backward enough to hear the music snippet correctly.

The second I came across a 16-speaker puzzle I just gave up. Overall just a bit boring and inanely repetitive.

The game seemed to have a really interesting story, but ultimately the game mechanics didn't seem to varied, and I think I missed some way to play the game due to one level seeming basically impossible
