@alia600 Can you tell us what exactly is the issue? Maybe we can work on that :)
Guitar is very fun, the drums break my brain though. lol
:( I love the concept and want to play it! bummer.png
The music is nice, but playing drums was pretty hard to me. I would like there was some kind of tutorial to learn how to play every instrument. I didnt have any problems to run it. Good to see a hard programmer here!
@modalmodule Thank you very much. We did not test it on Intel Graphics and only Intel seems to complain about that issue. But now it's fixed so we hope you can play it now!

Can't play either. Too bad, the game looked great. Hope you'll be able to fix the issues so we can play !
@beardmage You need OpenAL installed to play the game. The download link is in the description. You can either put the OpenAL32.dll in your game directory or run the installer which puts it in your system32 directory.
__Edit:__ I also added the installer link to the downloads section to make it harder to miss.
__Edit 2:__ We now included OpenAL32.dll in the download. So it should run now without seperately installing OpenAL. If for any reason this does not work delete the dll, get the installer [here](https://www.openal.org/downloads/) and run it.
i love this game but i cant play it as it is showing some issue but i want to play it
We clearly have different understandings of the word "easy" :). Really polished rythm game. Only managed to do ok on the guitar. Drums and keyboard were brutally difficult.
@mneubrand Actually, you're not wrong about the difficulty of the game. I had a tough time arranging a track that would both sound cool and be managable to play, so I kinda butchered the difficulty - even I can't play the drum and keyboard parts above easy and medium respectively. I plan on fixing this up as a post mortem though, since we now have the engine all done and I can focus a lot more on actually making something playable.
very interesting and unique take on the theme. I didn't get very far on the drums lol but it was fun to try. Great game
I like this idea a lot, I found it quite difficult to play though. Making your own game engine is extremely impressive.
I could not play the game, after choosing my difficulty and my instrument and after the timer depletes, nothing happens. Am i missing something ?
Good job!
@hernz I assume you also did not hear any music? In this case the OpenAL32.dll ist not working on your computer. Delete it from your game directory, download the OpenAL32 installer from [here](https://www.openal.org/downloads/) and run it.
I'm not entirely sure what's the right way to deal with OpenAL in this case. If not included people are missing they should install it and then complain that it does not work. If included it works on some (or most?) machines, but on those where it doesn't it just does not play music (and therefore our application is not able to sync the playable track or start levels).
@insanitycode It worked, thanks ! So i just wrote a long comment and closed the tab before sending it... i'm going to go quicker on it this time. Congrats on making you game engine, it works well, to bad for the dependences issues. Graphics are great exept for the keyboard which is too dark. The game is fun but really hard. The music is awesome ! Amazing job, keep going !
@hernz Thank you very much, glad you got it working!
TY guys now it's working!
Really nice game concept. I love rhythm games and haven't seen any in a ludum dare yet. Drums and keyboard are unfortunately really hard. I think it would be a good idea to lower the used keys on lower difficulties. Also volume slider would be great. But other than that a really solid entry. Good job!
Cool idea, super difficult! I feel like the drums in particular are very hard to see what key needs to be pressed when. But overall a fun jam game.
Nice ! A rhythm game is always tricky to get right, you guys did it perfectly ;) Plus you did it on your own game engine ? That is also very impressive !Keep up the good work !
Crash on my computer :(
Love how you work with music. It really has feedback. But oh my, how hard your game is!
Really nice game, I am always a fan of people using their own engines, the game looks and sounds great, I am terrible at hitting the notes, but player skill isn't a category, so you're good ;)
It is pretty cool! Kinda reminds me of feeling I've had during jam sessions :)
I love it! Nice idea and concept, also enjoyed the musics as well. And somehow my PC getting hotter while playing and then I realized that this game is using more power than I thought.
Nice! I'm terrible at it, but I love rhythm games :)
This is a really cool game, well done! And the level of polish is impressive for a game created over a weekend.
On the OpenAL side - when I used the DLL bundled with the project, the game started but it didn't play any music and it got stuck in the main menu. I could switch between difficulty levels and instruments, but the game never started. Deleting the bundled DLL and installing OpenAL from the site fixed the problem.
