Love the music and graphic! Always enjoy that Patrick style humor.
Great concept, love the art which really sells the personality. Impossible for me without easy mode on.
so awesome. great work all around.
very fun and enjoyable! I like the idea of the game
WOW! This is an absolutely awesome entry! I love everything from the beats, the unique assets, the god design, the vibe, the take on the theme and... that intro. Really caught my attention from the start.
Really lovely game! The concept, tunes and art are amaizing. The only thing that bothered me was that mc claplord seemed to be clapping a bit off beat. Anyways, great job!!
Fantastic art, humour, and music. I really want to like the game but the input lag made it nearly unplayable. I wasn't sure whether to sync up button presses or the clink sound, and they were easily 1 or 2 sixteenths apart.
On the whole, very pretty, but painful to interact with. Reminded me of Samurai Shaver (LD40)
A very fun hame, nice art just one thing, if you finish the normal mode and pres the "try hard levels" there dont go to that levels xD, just repeat the easy ones btw Very Good Job
Very fun game! Hilarious concept, nice beats and good looking art/design. Sync of the music, animations and claps is not always prefect, but it works well enough and without hiccups/hesitations. I also would have liked more varied rhythm suggestions from MC Claplord (this is coming from a musician/composer)... Still, I was hooked and had to finish the game fully in the different modes!
Graphics and audio are the best part but there really isnt any amazing gameplay here. it really only works if you have easy mode on, because in normal mode I feel like you literally just have to guess when to click. The sword dipping really didnt make any sense to me. I'm sorry for being harsh, but I do find it really amazing how much good art and music you finished in 72 hours. I wouldn't be surprised if you win either audio or graphics.
It took me a few tries on a couple levels, but this is a really cool game. Good job. I would suggest a different sound for when we are cooling the metal and we had to hold the sword in the water, but I love the music.
Art and mood are really nice and original! I had a hard time managing to keep up with the beat, it seems that sometines McClaplord was a bit off the beat and it was confusing. Overall great job nonetheless!
The best game I've played so far. Absolutely loved the art and music. I wasn't very good at it, but enjoyed it enough to persist, thank Odin for easy mode. I would have understood how it worked a lot quicker if easy mode was on in the tutorial.
My lack of rhythm aside(easy mode saved me), The music was super enjoyable!
Had a lot of fun with this, although man, the challenge was crazy on the dipping/cooling level with figuring out what to do. I ended up having to play on easy mode after flailing at it for several attempts not understanding how the beats were intended to work.
The art was way cool, very stylish, and the general vibe was excellent. Really great stuff!
I love the idea of the game, but had some trouble with the beat side of things. The god's clapping wasn't lining up with the beats of the music so it was impossible for me to tell when exactly I was supposed to clap. Also, in your tutorial you had the screen divider to tell you when it was god's turn to clap, but you didn't have that in the game itself so I didn't know how many beats I'm supposed to wait between claps. I was finally able to make it past the first level by guessing where the beats were supposed to line up. I finally figured out that you wanted the claps to happen ON the beats even thoguh the god's clapping was off the beats. And the hard levels that involve syncopation are virtually impossible with the audio being off. UPDATE: I just looked at your gameplay video and things look a lot more ON the beat, so I think there's an issue with the web build (I'm on a Mac and can't download the game). Overall it just needs a little more clarity on what exactly is expected of the player such as when exactly to strike. It doesn't mention waiting until the next measure of music anywhere.
The web build is really laggy and out of sync but overall I really loved the visuals and humor of the game.
I love the music and graphics! MC Claplord - awesome name :D I had the same issue as yodoG - also on a Mac.
Nice one!
Good use of a simple game mechanic and graphics.
#### We added an untested MacOS build for all of you who seem to have problems with the web build! the GOD Should not be clapping off beat! Hope it works :)
Love the music and graphic style, really nice musical entry thanks for the game
Absolutely fantastic. I am in love with this game, the best one I've played so far. No complaints, great work!
the artstyle and sense of humor brought me here, but the soundtrack and gameplay kept me playing for longer. Great game guys! And also thks for the easy mode, it allowed someone bad at rythm like me to fully enjoy the game :)
Amazing game, one of the best I've played so far. Thanks a lot for the easy mode, as it's not too easy when you begin. The musics are great, good job !
Where can I listen to this soundtrack! Amazing art and consistently funny. Loved the Little Details level. I also played on Easy. Characters and the god expressions were perfect. Very nice jam!
good art, pretty funny jokes. although the gameplay got me a little confused. couldn't get past the tutorial
I'm sad I couldn't play for real (latest version of Mac OSX doesn't support 32 bit) but glad you included a gameplay video. This is the most visually and auditory polished games I've played yet.
Nice game. Beautiful graphics and the music is amazing
