That was funny! The voices were strange at first, but I really got into it, and it was a great indicator for how many lives you have left. Clever concept, fun!

Very innovative in its combination of themes, but I'm not quite sure I found it fun after the first two minutes.

Very very original, I cant stop laughing with the voices and the action when I fail. When the other keys (JKL) come, the difficult grown exponencially... nice job!!

Very nice. Concept is good, implementation is good, art is good, and the voices are fitting. Well done!

i really like how the voices fall off one by one and it fits with the theme of the lyrics (which are really awesome) is that a real chant from like a chain gang or farm workers? or did you write that? anyways im not the best at typing so i couldnt get past the addition of "jkl" but i love the concept and art and audio great job all round!

Nice! Enjoyed the song. Wasn't too hard but hard enough to keep you on your toes.

I needed some time to get the rules of it (tried at first clicking with the mouse, using arrow-keys and other things). But ist is a nice submission of this Lure. I enjoyed it.

Somewhat simple, but I did like you mixing up the colors and adding new keys (was playing with one hand until that point, panicced somewhat :D).

Graphics and audio were both decent, and I did like the ending.
