A few pretty simple but confusing puzzles, because they are not so much sound puzzles as they are just plain visual clues based puzzles with a few herrings thrown in for good measure, so take your time. Solve all four seasons to get, well, an ending. It's free and will probably eat up an hour if you love low poly graphics and just walking slowly.
BUT. If you hate walking slowly and hate low poly graphics, then the cool environmental soundtrack to this game will probably be lost on you.

The Fall and Summer puzzles are very good for what they are. However I have issues with Spring and Winter.
Spring is WAY to simple, I am not sure if removing the sign would help but it took me longer to come back from the puzzle to the hub than doing the puzzle.
Winter needs to sign removed entirely as well, I was so pleased to see that Fall and Summer didn't hold your hand and allow you to figure it out. It isn't by any means hard, it just feels like its too much.
There is also a sound issue. From what I saw every sound has a zone, which is fine, but the cut off it too sharp and quick. In the future consider trying to dither the edge of the sound barrier so that it fades in and out smoother.
I honestly like this game, it was a good 27 minutes.
I think you have a lot of room to grow as a dev, and wish you well on future projects. <3

This is a great little game. That 30 minute estimated time limit took me 50 minutes, because my lack of rhythm held me back a bit on the winter puzzle. Usually I find puzzle games to be too obtuse, but these were the right challenge for me, and I enjoyed them.

Honestly this is such a hidden gem. HIGHLY recommend this game. Sound design was fantastic and as someone who appreciates the power sound can have, this game is truly so great to play. Nice wholesome cozy graphics, some may disagree with that, but im honestly very pleasantly surprised with this game. Alot of potential too! Those puzzles were super creative!

A cool free music and puzzle game. The colors, the atmosphere and the music are great. None of the puzzles are particularly difficult, but the game is free and takes only about half an hour to complete. Give it a try, you won't regret it.

Nice little free musical puzzle game. Enjoyed the colors, atmosphere and music.
Only part I had an issue with was the winter puzzle because I have very minimal musical solving abilities, but I got there in the end.

A comfortable little game where listening is the key to solving puzzles, it could get a little confusing but was very relaxing.
