Great idea, good execution

Here's my one nitpick: As someone who was trying to figure out the puzzles just based on the music (I knew most of the tunes), Yankee Doodle is a disaster. The melody in the game isn't even the melody in the tune, and many of the accompaniment parts don't seem to fit at all. Also, I agree with not spoiling the surprise as far as what we unlock at the end, and I don't understand how I completed the game with still a "1" showing in the first room, which by the way it wouldn't let me go back to after I unlocked the last thingy. Oh, and I don't understand why you show 5 rooms on the mini map and only use 3 for the game.

Otherwise, great concept, fun game. Something actually original and fun to play. Keep it up!

Decent

Its alright... I played it last night and got tired so left it. Came back today to realize there's no save feature on it. In a game which seems fairly extensive thats key. After playing it for half an hour I got bored, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to finish it later. As it is I doubt I'll go through the effort to get back where I am now.

Puzzle mechanics were decent but there were certain times where so many combinations worked and honestly all I could tell with the music was that things were right. Pretty much had to resort to hints which is fine, but it would be nice if there was some way I could conceivably do it without.

Awesome graphics. Nice little story though the Grandpa seems almost too obsessed with music. My guess is a meth lab in the secret double basement.

excellent game one ?

clever idea combining a point and click adventure with both a puzzle game and music sim. the songs can be a little choppy when switching from one measure to the next however and on a smaller screen it can be almost impossible to spot some of the better hidden outlines. one last thing where can i get a hold of those exact remixes?
9/10 5/5

I think its a fun concept

but since i'm a little bored right now... this doesnt really hold my attention but i really did enjoy the music of it :)

Surprisingly good idea, surprisingly good puzzles

I was skeptical of the idea when the first few puzzles seemed solvable by matching the melody followed by brute jigsaw-puzzle logic, but by midway through room 3 you'd more than redeemed yourself. It's a very interesting concept and trying to piece out what does and doesn't "sound right" is both necessary and intriguing. The geometry plays in just enough to give you a starting point without removing the music part entirely.

That said, why do you feel the need to slow us down with "find the clickable thing" rooms between puzzles? Those are just annoying and almost never done well enough to be worth my time or yours.
