Pretty good game, the level of difficulty is pretty good maybe a little to quick.

I think your art was really good. I could tell exactly what everything was. It had a consistent art style across the board, which I can appreciate. I also thought that your interpretation of the theme was quite clever. I wish I had thought of that! My least favorite aspect was that I found it a bit confusing why there were three parts I was trying to make pairs for.

Nice little game, I like the music!

That was really fun! The website graphics were a little wonky with my screen dimensions and I couldn't get the title cards lined up where there were supposed to be, but luckily that didn't affect gameplay at all, casue once it started I was having a great time. I really think your take on the theme was quite clever and I really enjoyed the mechanics of the game!

Good game, I loved the music. I agree with the comment that 3 pairs to look at that keep changing was a bit overwhelming. I also managed to jump through a wall in the game when one of the pairs changed.

Fun though!

Nice! Very creative use of the theme. More difficulty modes (maybe with 3 or 4 prop combinations) would be really fun!

Cool idea! It was fun to play through. I did experience some glitches with the movement and collision. I walked through the walls a couple times, and across the screen once or twice. Overall, nice job!

Short and Really Fun.. The music really sets the mood..I like how you implemented the theme..That's really creative.. Kudos Man!

I enjoyed it quite a bit, the moving around was suprisingly intense considering the calming pixel art feel. Sometimes I wasnt sure that I would make it into the circle in time. It was really fun and had some good game design aspects. Keep it up!

Nice game)

Really fun little game! My favorite part about it is that you chose one basic mechanic, and then you really refined and polished it to make a fun experience. I think that it really fits the theme of "keep it alive" by keeping the audience alive. The pixel art is a little bit basic but it still is really charming especially when in conjunction with the music. Great job!

Fun and efficient game. I really liked the spectacle premise, and the difficulty is challenging enough to keep the player on his toes from second 1. Good job !

Strengths : - Straightforward gameplay loop... - ...supported by consistent, readable graphics - Nice difficulty keeps the player coming for more rounds

Possible improvements : - Having to wait in the circles alters the rhythm - Some objects might be a bit too close from each other

Great game, but you could have cleared up what you are supposed to do. It is hard to understand what is supposed to happen at first but enjoyable nonetheless

Very fun! One thing I did find somewhat frustrating was how long I had to wait on a circle after having the right props, watching the other timers slowly count down but unable to do anything about them.

antaresvaldemar 2020-04-21 02:23

Very cool game! Took me a couple of tries to figure out what I was doing but once I got the hang of it it was fun, having to run back and forth to the different props (and make sure I stood in the right spot on stage). Simple but effective gameplay, the music was nice and energetic too, great job!

it's fun to decide against a costume that you don't think you can pull in time. if there are any "but"s to the game is getting stuck on corners, but it's very minor problem. the random character sprites are a nice touch

xmatos 2020-04-21 02:25

Congrats! Overall good job, really like the theme and the art. I think I would've prefer if the "performances" were quicker, it felt a little bit like dead time in the game.

kris-casimir 2020-04-22 21:15

Nice game! I felt the good kind of nervous energy scrambling to get the costume + prop combos. Took me a minute to understand what to do to get credit for the right combo, but I ended up winning after a couple tries. Whimsical and fun!
