Super simple and elegant gameplay loop! And nicely executed too!

Submitted

A solid tiny puzzle game. I think you did a great job of using the limited color palette. It would have been nice to be able to use the 'd-pad' (arrow keys) to move back and fix mistakes within the time limit.

I wasn't expecting to play a lockpicking puzzle game in this jam. Neat concept. In the best way possible, this reminds me of educational PC games from the late 90s/early 00s for pre-k and kindergarteners, in which they had to match shapes and sequences. If you cutesied-up the artwork and took away the timer, that's essentially what you would have. Great job with this.

Nice game, takes a while to finish though. Obviously getting repetitive after a while but would integrate nicely into a bigger game (for instance, a game about running from a wizard). The sounds seem a bit quite, but that's where my volume control excels :P I missed music though.

I didn't really see the secondary theme much in it, but it's a great game nonetheless.

entertainig game, cool for a puzzle inside a bigger game, but the pallete choise is a bit weird

Submitted

The simple and small gameplay loop keeps you playing until the end, well done.

Addictive and fun gameplay. It was punishing to miss a pattern, yet, it's genius since it really gives the GameBoy feel (you know, when games were actually hard and all that)

Submitted

Fun and nice graphics! Felt good when I could zip through a challenge quickly

Submitted

Very nice game loop, fun and requires some skillz when there is more teeths. Good work!

Submitted

please no more teeth

Very good game! The simple controls make it easy to pick up, but the sky is the limit in terms of difficulty, and high scores are very fun to aim for. Keep up the good work!

Super cool game, was definitely taking it easy with my first two lives and had to focus up on my last one. Fun gameplay loop that keeps you playing till the end.

Ingenious. I lost unfortunately 3 doors prior the ending, but it was very cool.

Simple but fun!

Very simple, yet addictive gameplay. I really enjoyed this one.

Submitted

Very fun! I made some early mistakes and then got dialed in and finished with around 63000.

Very addictive and the sfx give the good brain tickles. Would play again. And probably again.

Very unique entry this one, I really liked it. Simple, yet interesting concept and the timer hurries you along. Cool stuff!
