Overview: Listen to sound clips and guess what they are.

Steam Game Time: 36 minutes
First Impressions:
The game is simple and fun. Every level has a hint at the top and the sound clip. Guesses which come close often trigger a hint that directs players towards the correct answer. Some sounds were easy, but other sounds required more deduction, and some required some Googling (which the game encourages) for more responses. I think the game has extra hints, but I opted not to use them.
My main complaint is what happens after a level is completed. After reading the fun fact shown after completing a level, I press back and it takes a few seconds to transition back, which to me is strange since going into a level feels seemless. The game is setup as a network so then I have to click on a specific level instead of simply passing from level to level. None of this is related to gameplay and simply feedback on how I felt about the polish of the game.
From an art perspective, I like how the various sounds are visualized.
Overall, the above transition was such that I played all the available levels in the first section (21 out of 39 levels), and opted not to play the second section (13 out of 24 levels). Had the game passed me more seemlessly from level to level, I think I would have completed all 34 levels offered in the demo. Personally, if the developer wants to keep the idea of the network at the level select screen, I would suggest a "Continue" button that selects a randomly unplayed level in the network next to the "Back" button that goes back to the level select screen.
The great potential of this game is in the endless number of expansions.
Demo Rating: 3.8 out of 5
The Steam store page does not have an AI Generated Content Disclosure section! (implying the developer(s) did not use AI to generate content for the game)
