Was there only one level, was that the loop? I was very confused. I liked the premise of musical platformer.

The mechanics are all well implemented but not really utilized by the level design. The music was interestingly bizarre and helped add to the rather humorous aesthetic. The level itself is much too short.

@dk5000p Yes, there was just the one level... Unfortunately due to running out of time and energy, that was all I could muster.

@oliver-richmeier Yeah, I guess one thing I need to work on going forward is level design... I usually do arcade type games that don't really have levels...

Nice idea, as you said, mixing platforming with rythmic play. With more time you could really improve this, especially the controls (I found them a little bit unresponsive) and obviously improve the music (as said on the humorous description) and graphics. Good job!

That's a nice idea for a game, and i really like the simple but suitable music.

Funny game! Little bit more colours and levels and it's fine

It is trully amazing because this is Crypt of the necrodancer IN platformer! Which is awesome for real, i would put more feedback on the combat and some more levels! This could be a very cool rythim game, i bring you strenght from my coding temple, great job :heart:

Lovely nice game! I liked it!

Attempting to create a game with such a daunting premise in such a short time is commendable. I wish there was more to do, and that some of the bugs were ironed out, but good work overall.

I loved this game. Especially playing with it's beats. Please rate my game too:)

Nice entry! Timing based combat/movement is pretty fun!

demuss 2020-10-15 13:57

Everything i was doing felt like breaking the game and/or was bugged and it feels awkward. For me game is completly not finished from musical platformer which i didn't found to well bugs. Idea is good, i had some moments that i enjoyed, work on the game after the jam, it can be good : )

controls were a bit off but it was a fun game , hope to see you next ludum

pedrocoden 2020-10-15 21:08

Nice game!

Timing based combat and movement is well implemented overall. Sometimes it felt a bit unresponsive but that might just have been me. I think it's a good entry. With a bit more time after the Jam this could become a great game.

ashkman 2020-10-24 03:45

That's a very well made game, I love how everything is explained to you in tutorial and the game is pretty addictive. I could move to this tune all day I saw some people said control is unresponsive, aren't you supposed to move on beat? or the control's actually unresponsive? :D

neontropics 2020-10-25 15:20

I like the silly music! And the rhythm gameplay is fun.

The timing felt a bit wonky at times and I didn't quite know when I successfully hit an enemy or not.
