This was cool - I found it interesting to experiment with the different settings and see what would happen. Nice work!

Developer

Thanks for checking it out!

I really like the game concept and the game start menu really pops I really like how you can tune slides to have different pattern effects and if you had music and sounds the game would have popped more but I understand it's to the time limit, great work D.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Click on sounds on the bottom left then clips to add in the sounds, the patterns determine which sounds play , I’ll add a tutorial after the jam.

having the tutorial will definitely do but I will try that out :D

Submitted(+1)

Wow, what an interesting concept! Really cool hearing all the different patterns created from the simulation. Great, unique take on the theme! Good job! :)

Developer

Thank you! Im glad you enjoyed it! Yours is in my top 5 favorites so far.

Submitted

Unique and interesting game!  I was getting some cool patterns going at times!

Submitted

I can't seem to hear any sound.

Developer(+1)

Click on sounds at the bottom left then clips to select which Audioclips should play, you can randomize the selection or manually select clips with the toggle buttons. I will add a Tutorial after the jam but there’s a short video on the game page that shows the process. Thanks for checking it out!

Incredible.  Well done!

Wow, your idea is seriously intriguing and totally unique! Gotta admit, I was a bit lost at first and it took me a good few minutes of randomly clicking and experimenting before I finally figured things out. Eventually, I ended up in the comments section and discovered there was a YouTube clip hidden at the bottom of the description that showed how everything worked. My suggestion would be to put that clip right at the top of the description so that people can easily find it from the get-go. But apart from that, seriously, great job! You nailed it!

Developer

Thanks for taking the time! That's a really good idea, I moved the video.

I like the look of the game and the idea is clever and original.

This was really interesting, I liked the customisability.

Interesting simulation game i must say! Nice

This is a wonderful audiovisual experience. After reading some of the other comments I can see there were things I didn't understand how to do, so a tutorial would definitely be helpful. Also, I had trouble getting it to make sounds at first--seemed like I had to click on "clips" at the bottom right as none were selected by default? Really, really interesting and out of the box idea though.

Developer

Thank you! Yea I decided to make the sound clips all off at first so the player can add one in at a time to see which ones they like. I posted a you tube clip of the process to get there but I agree I need to add a tutorial. Thanks for checking it out!

Submitted

Ahh I see. I assumed the YouTube video was just a trailer.

Awesome submission. Fun little simulation game that you can get lost in for long periods of time

Submitted(+1)

Very nice and something I'll absolutely come back to look at again.

The description made me initially think it'd be about like Electroplankton for the DS.

Extremely neat with a lot of customization.

Thanks for the game!

Developer(+1)

I hadn't heard of it until now, but yea more of a toy as the only objective is to tweak the visual patterns to get musical patterns.  Thanks for checking it out!

Submitted(+1)

Cool simulations and I bet that has been hard to code and make, so well done on that. I'm not clever enough to manage to do anything cool with it though, but nice look and feel when I "tried" to do something there and everyone just died :D

Developer

Thanks for checking it out! Just turn up the creation factor or turn on the tone and they come back to life, left click to add new cells or right click to remove. I'll add a tutorial.

Nice simulation game!

Terrific game, partner! I've rated it. Could you kindly play my game and rate it?

Submitted(+1)

Well done! I don't understand the work that must have gone into that.  but Good job man

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I barely understand some of the math involved myself. My partner on this one is made of math though so that helped.

Submitted(+1)

What a thrilling game, dude! I've rated it. Would you mind giving my game a shot and rating it?

Submitted(+1)

Woah! That’s enormous work.
Well done

Developer

Thank you! It was a labor of love. I might have gotten a bit addicted to adding features.

Submitted(+1)

Looks promising. The work done is colossal. Great job!

Developer

Thank you! It was a fun learning experience for sure.
