That was a weird but enjoyable experience :D
Interesting and fun game. Well implemented and no obvious bugs. Like the art style and how different kind of music you can come up with.
It takes a moment to get into it, but it was fun :D
Very different, and fun! The style is cool, your interpretation of the theme is great - nice work! :D
I really liked the experience! This is a nice little music playground. =D
At first, I tried to aim with the cursor (i.e., the hammer), so I found aiming at seeds quite difficult. However, I later realized that you are supposed to aim with your actual mouse cursor, and not the in-game one...
Five stars for weird! :) I couldn't figure out how to replant, or how exactly a singers position on a face of the world affected the melody, but it was fun to mess with. Love the singer designs.
@gfm I was aware of that issue before, but wasn't sure how to solve it, if I used the hammer only some players would try to aim with the head and others with the handle, and the hammer follows objects and changes angles too... so I added a visible cursor to the handle. if you can think of a good solution I'd be happy to hear it ^^
This was a weird but enjoyable experience. But I had a hard time making the seeds land on the squares and lost a lot of time this way.
That was really enjoyable! well done! I think the one think that I didn't quite understand is the replanting mechanic, and a trajectory line for the seeds would be nice.
Interesting entry! If I can say one thing it would be the world should have been a bit bigger so I could more easily see the guys on the surface. I liked the changing cursor though! Good work!
@aj-weeks you can use the mouse-scroll to zoom in and look closer :) @neato in hindsight I think you're right, that mechanic was supposed to be challenging but it doesn't add much to the gameplay.
That was fun. The dynamic music is great. The hammer control made conceptual sense; hammer positioning gives good contextual clues. I think hiding the hammer unless your cursor is over something that can be hammered would be good. When it's floating around sometimes it feels like I should be aiming with it. If you plan to add other tools, I suppose putting it in a corner of the "hud" would work as well (that could be done as a space near the camera).
@mox those are good suggestions, thanks!
I unerstand the objective but its a little difficult and confunsing try to make anything with sense :smile:

One of the most creative entries that I could play but a little confusing. I waste much time trying make anything with any sense :smile:. The rhythms are great and I like the crazy artistic style. Good job.
@cyberstarlight I was playing on linux, so the cursor was actually a white square... I'll later play it again, but on Windows. Then I'll think about what would be intuitive for me. :smiley:
I must agree and say that @mox suggestions does sound great! :)
Very fun game! The models are very creative and detailed :) A bit hard to know exactly what seed does what though, and how do their positions affect the song.
Nice and fun game ^^
It's a nice little toy to mess around with, but maybe I'm not creative enough to actually design a good tune. I did enjoy seeing my little musical city sprout up as I planted more seeds, and I really liked the art style.
Cool graphics and sound and a very unique concept. Like others, it took me a minute to figure out how to aim the hammer. I didn't really have any idea which head was contributing which subtrack, but it was fun to make this huge cacophonous spinning cube. Great job!
A world with singing heads and giant seeds floating around the planet? Sounds like alot of fun!
Haha, this is wierd and cool at the same time! How did u come up with this one? :smiley:
Clicked on the entry because I saw the undertale avatar - don't regret it^^ This one is really innovative! Although I randomly hammered the seeds into my planet I was appropriately pleased with the result :smile:
It would have been great if there was a caption explaining which seed produces which sound, but besides that I truly enjoyed this entry. Great job :)
Nice entry! Not sure how to make a full game out of it, but the concept is interesting! Excellent work on how you managed music with different instruments being added while playing. Well done! ;)
Fun little concept, kinda has a katamari damaci vibe to it (maybe the look), really nice voxel work and the music was pretty good as well.
Quite a concept to create singers to make music by smashing things out of orbit onto the planet i gotta say :D
I had no idea what I was doing when playing this but it felt great! Creative stuff! :hammer:
Could not run it on Linux in fullscreen mode. (Mouse clicks are always in the center for some reason) Had to start it with "-screen-fullscreen 0"
But otherwise fun and creative game!
I was clicking random locations, I didn't know what I was doing but I like it.
