Could you explain a bit more what to do here? No action does have any effect.

Haha fun :p needed 2 minutes to understand

Haha, it seems that the hint is too subtle. I have updated the description, with 2-step spoilers. Try it again!

So its a puzzle game?

Nice one. I don't think I can't figure it out without peeking the hint :(

LoL. This is quite humorous! The concept is nice and simple. In old days when this situation happens I always pull out the cartage and blow to it first. Maybe that simple action can be made into a game lol.

This is really good. Such a simple concept executed very well. There's not a lot here, but what is here is tight and works well. I found this a bit more fun as I had just watched this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=insM7oUYNOE video about "percussive maintenance"

Hahaha, nice small concept. I went directly to the hint, but I should have tried the game first instead :(

I made it somehow :D

What a weird little game.

I like how part of the puzzle is realizing that it's a puzzle. Nice little game!

For a second there I thought I had to do the whole damn thing.

08. Dec 2014 · 09:40 UTC

The first idea came into my mind is blow the game consle and card or wait, that's how I did when I was a child =p.

Read the first hint then play through pretty quick :D

Smashing TV is old times thing indeed, so touching!
Having fun in finding mario melody!

I must be slow I could not get the point. It seemed like I was just slapping the TV! LOL

If you press left and then right in a certain rhythm it sounds like the running sound effect from the original Mario Bros.

CustomPhase

Its waaay too simple and plain, but i still couldnt turn it off until i got the melody right :) I wish it had more to it, maybe more different game and more melodies.

I'm not sure how, but I finally got it. :D

Now this is thinking outside the box.
Confused me at first, but solving it was quite satisfying (I like sound puzzles). Very innovative interpretation of the theme, I really dig little games like this and love low-rez; constraints breed creativity!

Funny concept

Is quite dificult without the spoiler but is an interesting concept.

tcarter

Definitely interesting, like learning a musical instrument.

not an easy one this game,
the sound doesn't seems to match perfectly the original ones... But the game sure peek my interest, i've look upon the hints if i was correct.

i got it - nice job

Clever idea! I loved it! I liked even more the way you decided to give your hints... :)
I feel though you should somehow "show" me the goal of the game inside the game itself. Maybe a bit more "noise" after every wrong attempt...

Ok this made me chuckle xD

An okay music concept that would do well with more work.
