Interesting concept. Kind of hard to switch between notes.

Worked good on 10.8.

Hmmmm.... Well I do love the out of the box thinking and creativity, square peg in a round hole and all that but I find this a bit too outlandish?

Feels a little buggy right now, but it's a nice idea. You should provide Windows binaries too, though.

Pretty and soundy enough but I didn't understand what I was supposed to be doing :-(

Thanks for the feedback everybody!

Yes, objective of the game is not well defined, and the collision detection and movement programming is pretty clumsy. I tried to keep the idea and execution simple but I ran out of time before I could make something coherent.

Pros: Liked the graphics! (beeing old helps) =)
Cons: What was the point of the game? A bit unfinished?

robmozart 2013-04-30 14:17

nilstastic: A bit unfinished, yes. I ran out of time and was not able to make the gameplay interesting.

Looks cool but I'm not up to the Mac install. Perhaps add a gameplay video?

I like the concept, but I kind of wish the notes didn't fire when switching velocity, so that I could play actual tunes. Also it seems like adding some gravity (so the notes curve downward) and/or reversing the incline of the stairs would help make it easier to target individual stairs. Hope you keep developing this idea!

Nice kind of interaction. The only thing i don't get is how you compute the score, or what is the target, but i thing is because is unfinished. It's a nice start, spend more time on it!

This is actually quite enjoyable. I really like the graphics, and I feel like this could be pretty unique and cool if you finish it up.

A game play video would be nice if you can't get a port working. The graphics look nice!

I love the graphics, good concept i think this game can be more amazing. Good Job!

Clean simple graphics. I would try it if it were for windows as well.

Ahh, the rare Mac-only-game. It's sad not many people will be able to play it :(

tony-pe 2013-05-04 18:25

Looks neat, don't have a Mac. Wish I could play it. :(

Seems to work fine on Linux when run from source.

prelucid 2013-05-04 20:47

Cool idea. Seems like we should have one more button!

cybearg 2013-05-05 04:21

Looks neat! Wish I could play it.

Don't have OS X.

Got this to run in Linux without any big problems - just had to install the missing packages. For me, in Ubuntu 13.04 that was python-pyglet and libavbin0 ...

As you say, it's unfinished - but you've got something going on, I like that.

Don't have a mac :/
