This is a fun concept and it definitely kept me busy :)
Super solid foundation, I think it could be improved by having all the simon says steps displayed at once and having countdowns on certain tasks so you have to complete them every so often. As is, I felt I could just ignore certain tasks. And how simon says worked, I had to devote full attention on it as opposed to bouncing back and forth.
Those are super minor though, really good entry
Had me really stressed out under those sirens.
I'd adjust the seconds given for each activity though, maybe make it add less time if you consequently do the same one? I found the math easier than the rest, so I could just stick to that one. If it would add less time each time I do it, I'd have to resort to the rest. Although it was still fun, nice submission!
Yes, the siren is hitting the brain right... it's better not to constantly make such annoying sounds on the background! I wish you creative development!
The trick I went with is only dealing with calculator on a need basis. While doing whack a mole, I try to remember the simon say. I really enjoy this one, but I don't enjoy the sound effects tho
The mechanics are really cool and I hope you enjoyed making because I enjoyed a lot playing it :D
