Wow! Really fun!

Got 56! The controls feel great and the sound and music are great!

So now I have seen everything... A racing game with a piano :D Cool idea. Nice little game. Like the trip like artwork... some kind of lsd visual peared with 8bit pixels ... nice piece of art :D

Ha-ha! I love how you put it on One Screen! Nice idea and plays well!

Avira antivirus finds the TR/Dropper.Gen virus in the executable :(, am I the only one that get this warning?

awesome!would love to see this expanded

From the screenshots I thought you ignored the theme, but boy was I wrong :) Great idea and great execution, the controls work well and the graphics and music do their job. Also bonus points for creativity. Why use a car when you can have a piano? :D

Oh god, this is like a quintessential ludum dare game. That drifting is so sexy. This should be in a list somewhere

WOW, haha I came here with low expectations, but it was awesome xD

Really fun game! Very innovative. Implementing theme & idea was excellent. Pretty awesome!

Got to about 15-16 but had a blast playing. Really quite fantastic and extremely well executed game. Music, graphics, controls all came together more or less perfectly. I try priding myself in these comments to have some constructive critique, but it is a bit hard this time around. There's not much I would consider changing or tweaking...

If anything, I failed to understand the controls the first two times around, but since the game was so quick at restart it didn't really matter. You could test having the first two passes in a slight slow motion. Or even have the whole tune be one of those that increase in speed over time. Might be so now, but that I didn't get far enough.

The second thing I came to think of, though it clearly wasn't an issue for me was that the paths existing now seems to be rather few. It could be possible to add 360 turn around and some other paths while still keeping the style, width of path and general resolution of the game.

Full starts all way through.

Didn`t expect this to be addictive as hell! Nice one, well done!

So this is basically Rainbow Road 2.0 on a piano. Cool.

One of the best game on this lundum!

Pretty fun game with catchy tunes, scored 47 on my first game, so I think it should a bit harder. By the way, I never used the brakes, I didn't feel they were necessary, don't know if that's what you wanted.

Good gameplay and use of the theme. The difficulty progress is a little slow and it seems that braking is not really an option but what racing game needs actually brakes...

tried downloading for mac, said the file was damaged. i tried downloading it twice

Holy shit this is addictive! The controls feel just right, and the music is perfect for this game.
Would you mind sharing the source for this gem?

npexception 2014-12-15 17:27

Also, could you try working around Avira Antivirus recognising your game as a TR/Dropper.Gen virus?
I just ignored AV for the sake of LD, but this might keep many many people from trying and rating this masterpiece.

Wow! Simple but pretty awesome!!
It is a great game and a solid entry. Good graphics, sounds, gameplay, fits well with the theme, funny... and very addictive! Nice work ^_^

I don't know why I'm driving a piano, but this is awesome.

GreyShock 2014-12-19 12:27

lion 2014-12-21 15:27

Very hard and very crazy !

nicepenguins 2014-12-22 17:02

A very interresting game with a strong concept :o !

I think that some random could make the game even more addictive ;)

Anyway, I love it, good job !
