I love rhythm games, so i played this for quite a while! I really enjoyed it. Could see this being a really nice game with longer levels and different music! Great art style too. Impressed with how polished the game is, with difficulty settings and an endless mode. I was only a little annoyed at the controls (up and down makes more sense to me). Well done to you though!

izhvaryag 2020-04-21 03:42

Wo-o-o-o-w!!! Good sound and art, nice job! :)

tinykidtoo 2020-04-21 03:48

Wow this is an impressive amount of polish. Great job. I love the voice chirp before starting, but I keep killing the patients.

yeo-niki 2020-04-21 03:57

I love the premise of the game and the rhythm game works so well! I just about lost it when I couldn't save the banana and it rotted :'D The controls took some getting used to, but once I got the hang of it things went smoothly.

saruto 2020-04-21 03:58

I absolutely love the art and the visual/audio polish of the game. Though, I found it pretty hard to do the rhythm sections, because it feels like the full effects of the pitch change happens a significant amount of time after you're supposed to push the appropriate button, making it hard to know when to push. I think making the pitch change faster and be more immediate or even happen right before you're supposed to push the button would help a lot in that regard. Otherwise it's a fun and simple idea!

savolae 2020-04-21 04:07

Love the art. Timing the buttons was a bit difficult at the beginning.

baconeta 2020-04-21 05:57

You rated and played my game, so I thought I should check yours out and I'm so glad that I did !

It was very creative, fun and easy-to-learn hard-to-master mechanics. The rhythm genre worked so well for the theme and it might just be the game I've rated highest so far! The only thing I will say is your Hard mode instructions show the medium difficulty on the top left corner but it only confused me for about 3 seconds. Props for the Art (very unique and funny) and music syncing to the play.

wobbleblocks 2020-04-21 07:11

Pretty awesome idea for a rhythm game! I enjoyed it a lot as a guitarist! #SaveTheBanana

nisanick 2020-04-21 07:52

Amazing game. I didn't expect to see rhythm game and i'm glad there is one. I really love the audio and art. Controls are simple yet it's not as easy to get them right..at least i tend to push the wrong one when it gets faster. Good job!

elendow 2020-04-21 08:34

Woah, the art is awesome and the amount of different characters is impressive. The rhythm part is very hard but fun.

timo-strating 2020-04-21 09:33

very impressive amount of art. The rythem game was very harsh on you and had in the scoring a tiny bit of lag so you had to press Z or X before the curve not on the curve. It was also hard so see the difference between a line that was in the middle or at the bottom after the line was at the top.

randdir 2020-04-21 09:54

Nice entry pal. As expected (I followed your feed) graphics are really nice. Not a big fan of rythm game but this fit really nice here. Keep it up !

parahunter 2020-04-21 09:56

Lovely art! The intro cutscene was a bit too long for my taste. A lot of the text in the how to play section was also very small and with the bright backgrounds hard to read.

Great atmosphere though.

victor-reiner 2020-04-21 11:38

It is addictive! and hard. The music and the idea is very good.

eryph 2020-04-21 13:07

Really cool gameplay ! YOu managed to make it rewarding and sometimes really hard for a simple 2 buttons mechanic. The intro cutscene was too long for me, and by my personal taste, i didn't like the art style. Tried hard multiple times anyway !

aberderbart 2020-04-21 15:51

I really like the Idea and the artwork! Didn't like the music so much, but thats more out of personal preference, it was well-made.

antaresvaldemar 2020-04-21 17:53

Amazing, I love it, the art is gorgeous and I'm impressed at how many characters you included. It took me a few tries but I managed to beat it (on easy mode). Sidenote: Banana - *is a banana* Me: Hahaha. Banana. Banana - *peels* Me: HAHAHA. Banana is peel himself.

mrowka 2020-04-21 19:10

I loved the music just as much as the art work 5/5 for me, awesome job!

taran-unraveler 2020-04-21 20:26

This was a great game. Completely different from the other games I played before. And the music thing is amazing! Great job!

sadsmile 2020-04-21 20:30

I love rythm games! A bit too hard for my taste (loss condition is at 75% at easy and the tracking is very precise (a bit too precise for a human in my opinion)) and i wasn't a big fan of the music. The setting and overall gameplay could make for a fun mobile game tho

almost 2020-04-21 21:35

It wasn't clear how good was good enough (Do I lose a life for 81%, and so on)

The concept is simple enough and a nice balance of difficulty and satisfying when you get it right. Art is quite polished! Intro is a bit long.

I don't think I ever saved the banana (on hard), though I did have enough lives to get past it.

quack-doctor 2020-04-21 21:36

Loved it and definitely played it multiple times, art is great :), and hard mode is certainly hard :(

bmacintosh 2020-04-22 05:47

Amazing art, and to have different variants for losing and winning for each character at that quality is impressive. Obviously time for things like this is limited, but I was playing with wireless headphones so there was a fraction of a second delay in the audio. I think a lot of rhythm games let the player do a test to correct for this.

2020-04-22 06:44

I'm a youtuber, your game is very nice! I want to make a video with the best games of LDJam46. Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOdTsWE7iIk . Can I find your game also on indiexpo website? The channel is linked with them.

lasagnaandroid 2020-04-22 12:11

Great work, loved the theme, gameplay and sound!

noirdrive 2020-04-22 13:56

Simple and catchy rhythm game! Love the artwork overall. It is nice to implement an endless mode with highscore.

mwfiae 2020-04-22 14:23

Really good! (even though I have to admit that I'm just really bad at rhythm games in general...) It's very difficult to get into flow. Maybe more auditive clues would help or maybe it's just a little out of sync like others said, it's kind of hard to say if you just don't feel it, if you know what I mean :thinking:

But again it just might be that I suck at rhythm games :sweat_smile:

Also the lose condition wasn't clear at first, had to play around a bit to get a feeling for it, maybe just add it to the gui like that: **55%**/80%

But great game, great idea and great graphics :) Would play again! (or just gift it to my gf, she's way better with rhythm games anyway ;) )

sledzik 2020-04-22 14:44

Great job, litle lagy but thats probably because my pc

imod 2020-04-22 15:30

Awesome game! I really like it a lot! Graphics, music gameplay, all super cool!

epsulon 2020-04-22 15:43

i like this character design, game also is pretty hard from normal study. ayaya *clap* *clap* *clap*)

maytch 2020-04-22 15:47

Now that's an innovative game that matches the theme well, and the amount of art you managed to make is very impressive!

alexandroskap 2020-04-22 20:03

Anime Medical Technician was a fun alien experience.

no-grapes-games 2020-04-22 20:31

@torh Sure, we'd be honored to have our game featured in your video! Right now it isn't on indiexpo, but it's worth exploring!

marxy-37 2020-04-22 21:40

I Loved the artwork, and the game kept me playing for a long while... Honestly this dosen't even feel like a game jam game... Good Job!!! =D

Just one thing: I suggest to split the tutorial in more screen with less information, or at least reduce the amount of information on the screen, because one big screen filled with information it's overwelming and often skipped, when it shoudn't be...

aceofsquares 2020-04-23 03:42

This game was well done. I attempted it on easy and failed quite a bit. Might be because its late. It's certainly interesting and awesome that it was made in Godot.

Really enjoyed it!!

kamekai 2020-04-23 04:53

I think there was a bit of input lag, but that is literally my only complaint about this otherwise stellar game. It's really well made and evokes the feeling of the flash era of yesteryear. Great portfolio piece and I would love to see a mobile version of this with more levels!

amazura 2020-04-23 05:39

cool concept and love the art style, this is so adorable :smile:

apandso 2020-04-23 18:40

The art is very cute and detailed! Wish the tutorial was a bit simpler - too much text for me... Theme and Humor are great :)

ianlux 2020-04-23 19:49

Quite solid entry, the graphics are very cute and polished! Loved the gameplay as well, quite hard (as I am personally not used to rhythm games) but very fitting to the theme and aesthetic of the game.

mlho7 2020-04-23 22:45

Really nice entry, simple but addictive gameplay. Really good mood inside, well done.

joemid 2020-04-24 04:26

So much art! Love all the aliens. Really impressive how much variation you were able to accomplish in such a short amount of time. The gameplay was tight, and the only thing I was craving was a little more story behind each of the aliens- maybe as a win condition for each success? Great job and surprising amount of content for a jam game. Also, cool to see a Godot game. Thanks for the game!

mrtroy 2020-04-24 04:28

@amazura I saw that snapshot waaay too often. The game was very fun and surprisingly difficult. I'm usually good at games like this, but today... whooo.

I love the art style as well as the gameplay. The music really brings it all together. I'm a fan of this. :D

scott-steffes 2020-04-24 06:23

Holy crap, this is so cool! The art is really good. Like actually good, like not even cringey like a lot of manga style stuff tends to be. The gameplay is pretty standard for a rhythm game, but that's pretty cool. I know I've had trouble getting audio to sync properly when making rhythm games. The audio synthesis is a neat touch. Actually modulating the audio live instead of just turning a file on and off is really cool. Maybe it would be good to be able to click a button to hear how it's supposed to sound before you play it would be good. There was one song where I couldn't imagine what it was supposed to sound like so I had a hard time timing it just from the visuals.

scott-steffes 2020-04-24 06:26

Oh, you made Meter Maid DX. The cuteness continues!

no-grapes-games 2020-04-24 07:23

@scott-steffes Thanks for the feedback. We definitely worked hard on the art and the code, so it's much appreciated. Once we had decided on a rhythm game, the sound synthesis was one of those things that we decided to just run with and try, so the feedback on that is also appreciated. The high pitched sound that follows the user input lags behind the actual beat by design, but that may not have been a wise choice since it can cause some difficulty!

Having some kind of preview is definitely something to consider. And yep, guilty as charged, Meter Maid DX was us as well :)

sageware 2020-04-24 08:02

Excellent art and UI design. I loved the combination of story, rhythm game, and arcade quality. I found the mechanics to be easy to pick up, but hard to master. This game is so polished, I hope you continue with it.

marcin-godzina 2020-04-24 17:01

I'm very poor at rhythm games, but i like this one! Graphics are perfect! I feel the music is a bit off from the EGR line sometimes and that trows me off.

hwaet 2020-04-25 05:03

I saw this and thought, "hm this makes me think of that awesome meter maid game from a while back." I'm glad to see another entry from you folk! This one was fun :) The music was great, the art draws me in, and you get lots of extra points for doing a rhythm game. That is not easy! If I could make any suggestions, it would be to add a third level to the rhythm part: like a key press combo or a third key to match a target strength. It's hard to give cpr to a banana after all.

very well done!

pisito 2020-04-25 09:55

Another solid game in this jam :v: Good job guys.

@amazura ThIs iS da WaE BrothaS.

ggrusha 2020-04-25 12:18

It looks so cool! I really like anime art) And also the idea and the music. you are cool!

ismael-rodriguez 2020-04-25 17:24

Nice art. Neat game. Good entry!

duke 2020-04-25 18:09

Wow! Really cool game. Didn't know what I had to expect by the screenshots but I was pleasantly surprised to get a rhythm game. I'm baffled how you managed to get SO much art into the game. The quality is a bit rough, but the sheer amount makes up for it. Really great to see a diffrent character for each level and even in different versions (sleeping / awake). You can tell that you had a lot of fun making all the character designs. Loved the banana :D The music was cool as well. Loved how you managed to alter the music depending on the performance of the player. Very polished experience all in all. One one the best games I played today. Great job!

fabula-rasa 2020-04-26 10:56

Greetings fellow Godoter :)

Awesome graphics and a very smooth experience. It's an interesting take on the theme.

I suck at rhythm games, so I didn't dare go beyond "medium" :laughing:

marcusnystrand 2020-04-26 11:18

Cool aesthetics and overall solid work! I thought it was gonna be easy but turns out it was quite hard for me. I played on easy and got ~8200 score

yolziii 2020-04-26 11:50

Very nice aesthetics, I love your character!

madalaski 2020-04-26 19:47

Cute artstyle with an interesting, if simple mechanic. Had one funky banana and was that jab at certain Star Wars movie I saw hidden in there?

vulpineblazeyt 2020-04-26 23:49

Oh my word, that was surprisingly difficult. I might not be so great at rhythm games tho lol :D Great job!

paulhocker 2020-04-28 00:55

liked the idea of the game and it fit well with the theme. the artwork was great. i think adding some more indicators that you are doing well during the game would help. I could not always tell how well i was doing. thanks for making this.

feingehacktes 2020-04-28 15:08

Really reminds me of Zelda: Twilight Princess where you have to howl as the wolf. I find the blue dot to be quite distracting especially when you loose the rhythm, makes it really difficult to get back at it again

zondarg 2020-04-28 22:30

Wow, the amount and quality of art is amazing! Really beautiful aesthetics. Cool mechanics & nice music too! Really good work, I like it! :thumbsup: (..and made with Godot! :heart:)

jmad 2020-05-08 16:49

I liked the core idea of the rythm mechanic, and the fact that the pitch followed the gameplay, but the audio was not pleasing to my ears - which was an interesting experience, since I tend to want to play rythm games for their good music. Polished strong and well-executed art, even if not my cup of tea.

Cute graphics, challenging game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/W3MIuB5jBTw

Generally, using such a product has a lot of advantages because it helps to relieve extra stress with anxiety. You know, recently I've also decided to change the way I relax and started consuming some products. Therefore, I would also like to mention cannabis from this site https://westcoastsupply.cc/product-tag/aa/ that can help you forget about the constant health problems. If you are also interested in this topic, try to use it either.

2022-07-21 07:03

Are there any special techniques for growing cannabis seeds at home? It seems to me that the methods that I use for ordinary plants are unlikely to suit me.

2022-07-21 08:18

Look, I don't think you really need to bother and worry about how to grow cannabis seeds. If you still need some precise information, then this article https://highway420.club/blog/germinating-cannabis-seeds-in-paper-towel is a good option. Here you can find instructions that show step by step how best to grow cannabis in order to get results quickly and efficiently.

Generally, using this kind of product has a lot of benefits as it helps relieve extra stress anxiety. Recently, I've also decided to change the way I relax and started consuming products. That's why I also want to mention CBD from this site https://joyorganics.com/blogs/news/cbd-suppositories-an-alternative-way-to-consume-cbd it can help you forget about ongoing health problems. If you're also interested in this topic, try using it either.

Well, the only health-related thing I can do is get a blunt, and I can tell you that it's actually beneficial for health, at least for me. And after I discovered [this website](https://www.dentaltown.com/blog/post/17854/is-it-legal-to-grow-cannabis-in-arizona), I even decided to start growing cannabis myself, so now it's definitely not a problem for me to get someone a blunt to support health.
