I am sad that i did not get RickRoll'd. Very cool game!
Loved the drawn art-style and ofcourse it had to be that song. Good work!
Music choice was great! Loved the visuals as well!
@6smith Thanks for reporting, we are trying to fix it. It works in Chrome or Edge. Well, or the Windows build.
super fun. very good audio management. laughed so hard :)
Liked the aesthetic
Great game. Nice take on stuck in a loop. Worked fine on firefox for me.
love the graphics!
Really fun! Upset I didn't finish the song, but I think that's on me!
+Great artstyle
+Gameplay was easy to grasp and fun
+audio was great
-original song would be better ;)
-player character could be bigger
Overall superb game, great scope also! Love the idea, good job!
@matthewjd389 You're in for a surprise, if you finish it ;)
Pretty fun game, a "how to play" section would have gone a long way I think. I am pretty sure you do not have the rights to the songs you are using though?
@limered here i go loading it back up again. challenge accepted.
@dps2004 The song, that sounds similar to "Take on Me" was created by us (Stefan). The end song is just a loop of a part of the original song. So i think we are save here ;)
We added a how to play.
@limered it is not "similar" to take on me, its the exact same song with different instruments. And the end song is not from take on me, its "Shooting Stars" by bag raiders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feA64wXhbjo I don't think you are safe at all, especially considering the end song is a straight rip.
LOVED PLAYING THIS GAME! (all caps excitement)
Oh man, this looks good!
@justswn nevermind it was just loading and i was impatient lol
@dps2004 using the song is definitely fair use
@6smith yeah, upon looking back, the take on me reinstrumentation is technically fair use I guess, but I'm not so sure about the shooting stars one. It's not even edited. Also, it really really rubs me the wrong way that none of these songs are even credited! All I can find in terms of credits is "Stefan - Cool music" which is not correct, unless Stefan happens to be a member of Bag Raiders
@dps2004 I don't want to argue with you here. Sure, we used the structure and melody from "Take on Me" and a 20 second loop from "Shooting Stars" where i added some wah wah effect, but we do not make money with this game and i think fair use should apply here.
We also added a music section to the description, so nobody gets fooled into thinking we wrote these songs in 72 hours.
@limered Thanks for adding a music section
Pretty funny, love the artwork and the music choosed
Wow. The vibe this game gives is amazing. Why does the dust keep ruining my mood! Nice entry <3 So funny
What a unique game, I would have expected 'another one bites the dust' as the song though :smile:
Great job and thank you for the game!
A little bit confusing at the beginning, but it got me when "Take on me" started playing in the background. Funny one. :D
This idea is damn good, but on top of that you managed to execute it perfectly. I had such a great time with it, the game is so well balanced and the experience is superb. I like the little touch that hitting the needle resets the track and the way dust and cracks affect the music. Sound design is damn on point. Congratulations and good luck!
Oh, the image of a scratched, dusty record had me cringing. :D So far, one of the best take on the theme! Loved nearly everything about it, only if the controls were more, well, under control. :D
OMG, why is there so much dust? I was sneezing at the screen while playing. You need a dust cover for your record player! Also, I kept bumping into the needle and making the song start over... But that jam at the end made it all worth it.
Goddamn hilarious, like the idea, execution, art and the off music got me cracking up all the time. Was the art done with a board or vector? Anyways great game!
First of all: thanks for all the positive feedback! :)
@walkingtall85 I've drawn everything with a pencil on paper. Then I scanned it and did some adjustments like changing the color.
This is definitely not "fair use" under German copyright law, as German copyright law pretty much doesn't _have_ fair use. You people just have never been sued by GEMA for performing a Beatles song in your local school's auditorium.
The game is awesome though!
Great idea! It fits the theme and I like the art style very much. ^-^
LOVED the game and the style !!!
I love the art style, but I didn't seem to know what to do:(
@tom-kun when you see the record Player you've got to click on the play button on the right. Now the record starts and a hamster appears. You are the hamster who wants to keep the record clean while playing. Dust and scratches will appears. To clean/repair them you've got two tools (broom for dust and hammer for scratches). You van switch between Tools on right mouse click and move your hamster on left mouse click :)
This was a really fun game but you should've opted out of Audio, per the rules. Either way good job.
@jake-white We left audio in, because we remade the game song and made all the sounds. Also we modify the song on the fly during gameplay. That were the reasons behind opting in. We can't opt out anymore so: If you are not ok with the sound, just do not vote in that category.
I enjoy the music and art style. Run-time audio manipulation is a great idea and is implemented very well. I wasn't able to figure out what I was supposed to do for a while, but eventually I realized that I should let the record play to the end. Perhaps a lose condition would have made that clearer. Nice game!
Really fun game! The art is great and everything fits together very nicely. I also thought the ending with the hamster flying about was really funny :)
This game is designed to torture people - the game tricks you into thinking that you are doing well by letting you hear a few seconds of the song at normal speed, you relax and the game immediately hits you with more dust. You get mad, you start working extra hard and end up hitting the needle resetting the track. Took me over 6 minutes to beat the game :cry:
Excellent execution though - the art and the sound design are top-notch. Would get tortured again :smile:
Haha I had so much fun!
The music is a nice choice, the art is really good, the ending is a blast.
Thanks for the game 💕
amazing entry, nice job
Really cool audio effects and nice graphics style. Good job!
Cute game! I love the creative theme and gameplay, and the hand-drawn graphics were a lot of fun. I have just a couple pointers of feedback that are hopefully informative: - A progress bar paired with the "Time Stuck in a loop" song timer would have been helpful. For a while I thought that timer was just saying how long I had survived and not the song time. It's also hard to see while playing. - Some sound/music when the game starts would have been nice, especially when it says "Play with sound on!". I thought I accidentally had sound muted because I heard nothing, and the first sound isn't until you start playing.
All of that said, it was an excellent game and a great entry! Well done!
Nice game ! But i don't manage to reach the end ! Is it possible to listen the music somewhere ? It was really nice.
This was a hilarious take on the theme, well done! Quite limited in terms of gameplay, would have liked to see more events happening as the player progresses. Art style is really cute though!
A simple and fun little game.
