Interesting take on the theme! :D Mario Ware style mini games are always fun.
Though sometimes it doesn't feel responsive, especially when the game doesn't end by itself when you got it correctly. Also you should not have to bring any outside knowledge into these games like the binary/decimal game. Couldn't figure out what to do there. The games should be self-explanatory and I think it shouldn't end after one wrong answer. At least in the 2 minutes mode I think it would be more interesting, if you get points or it counts how many games you were able to get right within that time limit.
Nonetheless a great game that is fun! :)
I love the style of this more than anything. Keeps you going, frenetic, exciting, despite you're just answering some very routine questions. Nice work :D
Love the concept of wario ware minigames mixed with the impossible quiz on this one. The transition between levels are encouraging but the failure could be really punishing, especially after a long run. Needs bgm or sfx to make the game more impactful though, but overall a good game! :)
Fun game.
Fun game concept! I really enjoyed playing it!
I really like that you included lost of different kinds of scales! Very clever. My game also features a musical scale!
Loved the transition between mini games. The cheers gave some great feeling.
I missed the sound of the piano at least.
I got 8, thought I could do better, then got 28. Really fun game!
I got 21! I'm super impressed with how many mini games you got in and how you incorporated them all with the theme. You did a bunch of mini games for the jam in one entry. Great job!!
Its a very interesting take on the theme. My high score was 15. Mini game games are hard to make especially for jams and I think you did a very good job of making the mini games easy to understand and quick to grasp. Sound would have been cool especially at least for the musical note sections, but its a jam game and im just honestly impressed how many mini games you got in that are are totally playable and not at all confusing.
Nice work, it was fun!
Reminds me a lot of Dumb Ways to Die but with sciency scales instead of more general minigames! I think it's fun, but it gets boring after a while, probably because it's the same few minigames with very little content variation? I could see this being a fun alternative to Dumb Ways to Die given that the ruler segment almost always gave me a "deer staring at headlights" moment when my brain momentarily forgets how to read a ruler without all the numbers :p
The initial plan was to have at least 10 mini-games but they turned out to be very time-consuming to make so I was able to fit in just 5.
Dumb Ways to Die was indeed the inspiration behind this game. I'm glad someone pointed that out. Thanks for playing!
I don’t understand the binary one, but everything else was fun, lack of music and sound is really hurting you here.
I really enjoyed this, it took me ages to figure out the decimal one because my brain would just not translate the numbers but this was really enjoyable. I got a high score of 12 and woud be mor ethan happy to keep playing.
