Hey Rob, I found this very interesting and great inspiration. Have you got the Game Boy Camera? there’s an interesting DJ game in it. I would reckon that overlapping sounds may involve using the 4 tracks of the Game Boy, do you think that’s right?
I have got the camera but I've haven't thought about the DJ game at all, I should give it another go! And yes, I think using the 4 tracks would unlock it's full potential, the way I did it limited me a lot.
I just tested this out on my gba sp. I think sounds not overlapping is fine, because in general this is like beatboxing, where you're just creating a cool simple rhythm, the space between is most important.
I think in your shoes I would have also gone the route you did where directional keys modify, that's the most elegant and pleasing, but after testing this out I think Bass snare on BA, and then symbols and toms on the d-pad would be more fun and kinetic for creating cool beats.
As usual, a really cool bit of design, I am yet to dislike a release of yours. I wish more game designers were as committed to designing something interesting as you are.
I agree, I would definitely not use A/B + Arrows if I were to do it again. In retrospect it is quite awkward, and you don't really need 10 sounds, the 6 would have been fine.
I'm always amazed by the kind comments like yours I receive! I'm glad you like my work and find it interesting!

Really great feedback, thank you!
