Very good use of the theme! I like how quickly this one escalates. Sadly it made me mash buttons so fast that I tend to click away the score screen so I never found out how high I managed to get.

This was cool. An interesting use of the theme and I liked the multi-tasking of working the crank and buttons to different gameplay tasks.

Very nice, and I agree that the concept is very clever! I was having trouble determining how the crank affected the balance, but it wasn't too weird. The A and B button prompts are slightly too small, so it's difficult to tell which button is requested. On game over, disabling input for a second while showing the final stats would be nice. Since A and B are used to restart, if I'm just about to press them while the game is going on, but then the game ends, I inadvertently send input to the game over screen.

Clever take on the theme! Love the use of the crank for it too, and the nice zapp fx! :D Can second what schmarty said about it missing a bit of a background to feel like you are gaining height without checking the side bar with the numbers!

This was a lot of fun and well-executed! Loved the animation touches like the monk peeking and the “thought damage” juice.

I could definitely see this being expanded! I agree with Franchovy that a couple of small touches could make this a useful aid for real-live meditation. A subtle background animation to indicate the rising action would also be lovely.

Good stuff!

Honestly, great game! As someone who meditates myself I found the take on the theme to be very amusing... only this monk has a lot of thoughts coming at him!! I wonder if a "zen" mode, with just the slight cranking, and without the button popping, would be appropriate for an actual meditation practice :D

Great game, simple, fun, complete with instructions. One of my favorites!
