Great entry team! :fire: My first game played/rated and ya'll set the bar high! Specific things I liked: the title screen & the song selection animations, collisions felt accurate and the songs were nice. I wish the percentage was shown while you are playing, wasn't really sure how well I did until after. Can definitely see the effort, hope others see this :thumbsup:

Amazing game, I liked everything! The controls are a bit tricky to master, but it's also a very good game.

Extremely polished! I feel like it might've been easier if there were less tracks/grooves on the record to switch between, but maybe I just needed to get better haha

Polish and production value was surprisingly high, impressive stuff all smooth! gameplay works with the theme, I did find it hard to control, and yet, I thought it was a rather unique direction for a rhythm game. Maybe there were too many lanes and they were too thin, but mouse lane control was a cool take. definitely worth refining. The note sounds were weird though, and the last song was clearly the easier than lower level ones (More fail potential, but as long as you dont mess up, easier to get the notes). Good going!

I absolutely love rythm games, this one as well. Super polished, super good concept, super good theme adherence, etc

Simple and intuitive concept. A few things could be added/polished, but its a solid demo. Could be a mobile game.

Wow this is excellent, so polished and fun! I must admit rhythm games aren't normally my thing but the controls, mood and music made this really excellent and unlike any rhythm game I've played.

Great variety of stages and great music to go with it (banana flippe felt like peaches en regalia and was about as tough too lol). Mouse controls were super intuitive and incredibly fun. I could feel myself improve a lot as I played more songs, great feeling!

Love the general psychedelic aesthetic, though I would say that the gameplay itself had a rather boring realistic look. Would have been great for the psychedilia to continue in the background while you run round the record. Maybe a post-jam inclusion if you continue working on it?

Apart from that the only nitpick I have is that while getting 100% accuracy is really tough, just beating the stage seemed very easy. Not enough dust-bunnies or maybe they don't remove enough hp? Also a score system with combo multipliers would really add some more weight to the gameplay.

Anyway you should all be proud, fantastic entry!

The number of grooves, the mouse controls, and the curved approach of the notes made it pretty hard to line yourself up right - it ended up feeling like neither an action game nor a rhythm game, especially since your own movements weren't limited to the music or the beat at all. It's an interesting idea but I just didn't feel immersed in the music like a great rhythm game can make you feel.

light-hearted, fun game that was a pleasure to play ! The music was a great addition as missing or hitting notes affected the rhythm of the chosen track. Good job!

Awesome rythm game! The amount of polish that's in this is insane. That's not to say that there aren't flaws. The main one, which a lot of other people have pointed out, is that it's hard to control precisely. Here are a few small flaws as well:

- Mr. Clay could use a better model (In my opinion he looks very "placeholdery") - The label on the record is quite pixelated - While there is a quit button on the main menu, you can't go back to the main menu from song select, meaning you can't "properly" quit the game - If you miss a note it won't be counted as missed until it goes off-screen

But if you overlook these things, it's still a really great game. Good job guys!
