Also I'd REALLY like a music volume control, so I could better hear the audio clue and not the thumping music (which was otherwise good btw :) )
It is really polished and well made for 72 hours, good job :)
P.s. You can find full control in the description
i feel all it needed is to be a bit more transparent on the goal with the blocks making a tune
Graphics are nice and fit. There should be another way to placing the mirrors, brcause the clicking was annoying after a while and i always clicked one to many times.
Overall a really good game.
I like this a lot, very clean an minimalistic, great stuff!
I felt like it worked better within the browser than full screen (as the buttons got small and far away). And I couldn't figure out what the blue circle button did. But super minor nitpick. :stuck_out_tongue:
Overall, LOVE it!!! Nicely done.

Lovely to look at, killer audio, and a great, original puzzle concept which I've never seen before. Each level was a satisfying solve.
I was sad there were only a few levels. I was looking forward to some harder ones, then it ended. You could make a full game of this.
The only complaint I have is that it took a minute or two for me to understand what I was supposed to do, but once I got it, wow!
Great entry.
Wish there were more levels.
Mixing the mechanic of the sound with the spacial arrangement is really clever and makes for an engaging puzzle experience. Together with the fitting sound and art it feels absolutely polished and I need more!


I had fun bouncing the lasers around, experimenting, and solving.
The game was short and left me wanting more -- much better than dragging things out until it gets boring, but I could easily have enjoyed another 2 or 3 levels.
Well done!
I could have played this for much longer, if more levels would have been available. Nevertheless, great game for a game jam :) If you ever make more levels, I'd like to know about that :D
The background-music distracted me slightly from the actual melody I had to reproduce, but one I got the hang of that, creating the melodies was just fun :) I really like, that it's not punishing at all to try and fail. I could see many more tone-modifies being added in future versions :)
Great job! :)
Wish there were more levels.
