Well-made, neat graphics, cool audio, strange idea x)

I loved this. The main character was in many comics, killing people (joking)

A game where you kill with a Piano is huge.

Wish I could kill the people who didn't believe me :( Other than that, good game, really liked the music.

It was too hard, couldn't get past the third level, but HILARIOUS!!

cgmorton 2015-04-20 16:27

What I like about this is how smoothly everything responds. I love the feeling of dropping six, seven pianos all at once. When fighting with shadows I feel just the right amount of chaos and control. The game has great atmosphere and is a joy to play.

Some thoughts:
I'm not entirely on board with the pianos spawning with your momentum. The first time that happened, and really every subsequent time as well, it didn't feel like that was what -should- have happened. Like, when I summon a piano, I expect it to drop straight down, you know?

I also felt like the platforming was just a little slippery. With all the small platforms I need to land on, I found myself missing or slipping off more than I think I deserved.

Anyway, great game!

Very original idea, fun to play, the pianos with momentum are surprising but an interesting mechanic to play with. Good job !

cgriff 2015-04-20 17:36

Brilliant - you can't beat the very first time you use the flute, whilst stood perfectly still. The sound effect nails it!

nilq 2015-04-20 19:03

This game is so perfect! I love it!

atrodo 2015-04-20 19:05

Loved this! It was wonderful. A little difficult because the pianos appeared to inherit my velocity, but I had a lot of fun playing it.

tasteslikefuture 2015-04-20 21:26

Awesome game! Very polished, lots of solid gameplay, and it definitely fit the theme. Great job!

hellforge 2015-04-21 06:44

Best idea ever! We really love the idea to crush everything with a freaking piano! Even our selfs. But hey thats life ;) Very cool game!

monkeedude1212 2015-04-21 19:53

Good graphics, nice audio. Loved the idea, UNEXPECTED PIANO. LoL.

nikteddy92 2015-04-21 19:57

Woaaah! This idea is great! Well done!

parzivalthevirtual 2015-04-21 20:02

Really nice idea. Loved the piano mechanic even though it was pretty damn hard at first. I got stuck around level 3 because I couldn't get pianos through the hole because one was stuck there.

diningphilosopher 2015-04-21 20:31

Awesome game! Very funny. :)

daltostronic 2015-04-21 20:34

I LOVE THAT GAME! :D Awesome idea :D

diningphilosopher 2015-04-21 21:11

Other DiningPhilosopher here, the game crashed on me during the (final?) boss when they pushed me out on the right side :'( Otherwise extremely nice (and hard!). I couldn't stop laughing about the piano summoning. I half-expected the game to end on the first screen, that would have been even funnier :P

shugor 2015-04-21 21:54

This was probably one of the best interpretations or the theme I've seen so far. It's amazing how many different things you can do with falling pianos, and the levels take advantage of that very well. Something I noticed is that if you run off of a platform (or piano) without jumping, you keep the ability to jump once in midair. This is probably a bug, but it makes for some really cool alternative ways to complete levels (like the one right after the city). The only real complaint I can think of is that as someone else mentioned, the pianos being created with your momentum feels a little strange. Excellent job overall~

emmelineprufrock 2015-04-21 22:44

I literally laughed out loud the first time a piano came out of the sky and crushed me. I honestly don't know what I was expecting.

mouch 2015-04-24 18:53

I LOVE the idea of crushing people with pianos. Nice graphics and hard to play(positive :D).

ultraval 2015-04-26 14:00

I was destroyed by a piano falling from the sky ... 5/5

ilookedatyourtitsandiminlove 2015-04-26 14:09

Really well done, and a surprisingly long game!

dos 2015-04-26 19:39

Fun! Gets really tough at the city. Great unconventional weapon :)

jwin 2015-05-03 19:24

Loved it! Smashing yourself with a piano right at the beginning is both hilarious and a great way to explain the mechanics of the game.

miziziziz 2015-05-08 19:53

Great Entry!
good use of the theme and great music.
I had some bugs with respawn in the first level, but after that it was fine.
Also, I found it extremely annoying how the piano would 'follow' you when you drop it

ultravisitor 2015-05-09 02:27

Ha ha awesome! You were able to do quite a lot more than I was able to. Pianos are much more useful than I could imagine ;)

monos 2015-05-09 12:38

I loled pretty hard playing this game.

Really polished game, probably i'll rethink how the pianos fall from the sky because giving them some momentum gave me some problem in some puzzle.

Nice music and sfx.

Got stuck in the second level of the city so i didn't finished the game.
