Very nice. Even though it's not really a game, it was an great 5 min experience. Nicely self-aware in a humble way. And a great standalone soundtrack!

SethR 2014-04-28 14:20

Very unique and cool experience. Enjoyed

icereci 2014-04-28 14:23

enjoyed it.

dusho 2014-04-28 14:24

Nice.. now I know why I got told I got no rhythm :)
was fun.. not really a game you can loose, though
some music was very nice

quill18 2014-04-28 14:24

Philip's right in that this is not a "game"...but what a beautiful and enjoyable experience it was. The music was fantastic and I found the story strangely compelling. I had a great time playing through to the end.

Nice work!

The only I didn't like about the game ist that it's very hard to experience the music without small audio hops (if you know what I mean) as you have to press space slightly before you visually reach the next line. Maybe if there wasn't a line but a small bar and whenver you hit space anywhere inside the bar the music plays on without interruption? Aside from that though great, creative entry + I can hear the music on your soundcloud.

The best so far C:

marcus_siactro 2014-04-28 15:58

Wow! That was amazing! I got goosebumps, really great work :)

graebor 2014-04-28 19:24

Really enjoyed this! Even though the controls were very simple I liked being able to change up the pacing/tempo/mood by delaying my presses. Interesting way of presenting music/a story.

pietro-ferrantelli 2014-04-28 19:27

Awesome experience, I enjoyed it a lot :D One of the best entry I've played so far, with best audio and mood ever ! It's a memorable entry !

martin_monosys 2014-04-28 19:30

Very good, soo great music. I never got the beat right, but it still sounded great. Very nice entry!

attractivenerd 2014-04-28 19:44

Awesome how it sounded good even if you didn't press Space in the same rhythm

Love the style of this. My wife also played it through and she absolutely loved it. here are her comments - "This was a very well thought out experience. The music was wonderful and I loved reading the story that guided me through. It reminds me a lot of playable mini games in JRPGs, that give you some perspective into a character that you encounter. A great effort. Well done :)"

blockbot 2014-04-28 21:03

Wow, very cool.

mental-atrophy 2014-04-29 20:04

Very cool way to visualize a one-button rhythm game.

sfbtom 2014-04-30 22:42

My favourite out of the 200+ games I've played so far!

gwinnell 2014-04-30 23:07

Mesmerising!

bereuge 2014-05-01 17:08

Simply amazing!

arcturusdeluxe 2014-05-02 15:37

Interesting idea, definitely experimental, but really cool. I liked that there was no real win or lose, and if you delay or press too soon, its ok, its like your own version of the tune.

raiyumi 2014-05-03 06:59

I always love the experimental adventures you create. :)

soupwithbits 2014-05-03 07:31

I didn't want to stop playing.

wertle 2014-05-03 16:40

Really well done! This flowed together perfectly with the pacing of both the game, and the music, and the humor with interstitials. It was clever on many fronts. Great work!

tobiasw 2014-05-04 02:04

Dom dom DOOOM DOOOOOM!

This was absolutely stellar. The text together with the music really created a special feeling for the text that I've never quite seen/heard like this before. And the writing fit perfectly. Clever, really well done!

danman9914 2014-05-04 23:45

Holy crap, that was incredible

matt_j 2014-05-08 01:13

Interesting way to tell a story, anyway...

jupiter_hadley 2014-05-08 03:36

Love music games like this. Well done! I included it in part 14 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/-VvtqXfr-Xs

radmars 2014-05-09 01:06

Awesome music! It was fun to try to time everything exactly, but it would be better if there was feedback to see how close you were. (Controller support would be amazing!) Great writing and I love the ending too!

rojo 2014-05-09 05:25

Great job! I definitely felt connected to the message from a philosophical standpoint. The music was excellent.

managore 2014-05-09 05:44

Wow, what fantastic audio! Letting the player control the audio felt amazing.

iambored2006 2014-05-09 09:03

What a strange story. Anyway, I liked this game a lot!

forc_ola 2014-05-14 07:58

Very good idea and simply playing :)

snoother 2014-05-17 13:31

Wasn't sure at first, but the music is wonderful and the minimal gameplay just works, letting the player pace the music. Congrats, a highlight of the compo.

copain 2014-05-17 21:56

nice and strange game. So poor gameplay but the little challenge to have a good music... and then a rythmic dialogs... good idea.

franklins-ghost 2014-05-18 06:42

Best audio experience I've had with all the games I've played so far, great job.

ddrkirbyisq 2014-05-18 11:05

Best ending ever, bahaha awesome

zerkruemler 2014-05-18 19:27

Very cool rythm game. Easy to play, but no so easy to make it sound fluent. I like the ending where you can listen to the music as it should be.
Very well done!

Jeremias 2014-05-18 20:56

Wow. This music rocks and I never played something like this. What a beautiful entry.

jsmars 2014-05-19 07:10

Amazing audio entry!

kerdelos 2014-05-19 15:26

Loved it, especially the music !

Lucariatias 2014-05-19 16:31

Looks and sounds beautiful, translation could be improved, I guess, but it's a lot of fun regardless.
