I just wanted to have fun and give a few tools for anyone, with or without musical background, to enjoy themselves with, without getting too technical

Thank you everyone for the feedback, I'll take it into account and map everything to keyboard keys and also make it playable with the mouse.

I thought about adding a button to increase/decrease BPM, knowing that you've actually asked for it, I'll definitely do it.

And if some of the functions were not easy to understand, let me know what and I'll try to fix it!

That’s awesome! Thanks for considering our feedback. This is a small polish note. The buttons and switches would feel great with some subtle sounds when activated. Lean into the fact that we’re interacting with a physical device. 🤘

Thank you, noted! :)

You had a goal of making something for everyone and knocked it out the park. I'd like the sequencer to have different speeds but other than that, really like this. It's simple to understand but complex as you need it to be.

Had a good time pushing buttons, though I couldn’t get a good recording for some reason probably a user-problem.

I spent way more time in this than I expected. It was really easy to set up a loop and jam over it. Everything works towards a thematic zen. I’ll echo the call for mouse controls. If the plants were mapped to the keyboard (e.g. Z, X, C), then it could also be fully accessible. Nice work!

Love the vibe, look and feel and the samples you chose. I kind of wish you could interact with it with the mouse more, but that's more of a nitpick than anything.

Good job, I like this one a lot!
