Amazing game! I loved the music and the graphic. It is pretty challenging, especially the third level. Great job!

Always fun to see the interpretation of the theme. As a sucker of rhythm games I actually REALLY enjoyed this entry. Well done!

Well I'm bad at game with music, but with this I fail too many times. I enjoy the music and also the idea behind the game. It's remind me a game I loved Audiosurf, still a graphic enhancement needed

I was really bad at this game, but I liked the concept and the music was pretty good! Nice!

good concept and music but can't really play this game, because music is too off as you wrote

Wow, the game is not easy ^^ The graphics are cool and the music is really nice, but I didn't get to hear much of it since I suck :/ Also, if you don't use the key "q", you can map it to left so that azerty keyboards don't have to change layout ;)

very cool rhythm game, i don't often play games like this but this was very cool ! And the minimalists graphics are nice

Nice interpretation for this theme! As a fan of rythm games, I really like the idea and gameplay. We have similar rythm/music based game called "Rock'em All", so I would be so happy for your feedback if you play it! Good job!

Nice game! I felt a bit overwhelmed at start as there was just too much going on, but later it got better as I learned to press a/d at the right time (there I feel like the window for hitting them was too short). Sadly I didn't hear any music in my windosw build (so I am not rating that). Good job!

@banzi really weird... don't know what could be the reason :( I'm sorry

Great job on this game!

I really loved the music (especially the second one), and the visual are clear. I would have loved more feedback when missing, especially on the third song where I couldn't hear the audio feedback because of the song. I also felt that the timing where pretty hard at first but then got used to them!

Thank you for the game!

I really like it. I used to play guitar hero with my Fender and I think this game accommodates the similar concept with more fun (I didn't enjoy guitar hero that much). Even thou the game is hard, I felt very relaxed.

Some challenges I had: - Feedback if I hit a note on right time wasn't very clear for me, I would expect the note to play louder if I get it right - I struggled to hit arrows right on time a lot - No quit button/keypress from the game

optimans 2020-04-23 19:06

@morriekken yes, in a fullscreen game a quit button is needed. Just got used stopping it from the engine :sweat_smile:

The music is beautiful. Seriously. Great job TrpM! Great game too!

The game looked good and the music was nice. I wasn't really a fan of the controls because the arrow notes were hard to hit correctly. I appreciated the sound it made to let the player know the note was missed, but having a success indicator would have been great. Something like the note flashes or explodes in a pleasant way. Nice entry.

Awesome job! I feel like you dont often see rhythm games during a jam and I feel like that is because they are hard to do but you did a great job. I really liked the idea of mousing over sections and then using key inputs. It took the first song to really get a hang of it but the escalation of diffculty across the three was really well done. Good music too! The theme was a bit light but thats alright. Congrats!
