I really enjoyed it but the font used at the beginning wasn't easy to read. Otherwise a nice rhythm game.

I really dig the sound and the art. I found the gameplay fun as well.

This was cool! I think some variation in the music would have been a nice touch, like maybe different sections in the track or if the band played like 2 or 3 different songs, but this was put together pretty nicely!

Good graphics, good music, but it was kind of confusing to me. There wasn't any feedback when I pressed the arrows so I thought the game was broken. Except that it was good

Very nice game! I liked the art.

Nice graphics, good music. The intergalactic concert idea wash also interesting. As already mentioned the feedback for the user was a bit confusing. In addition to the color of the arrows maybe show a popup that shows "good", "great". Other than that a good LD entry.

Awesome! I love the Rick and Morty vibes +1 for the little Intro with the filtered sound and the people hyped for the upcoming show <3 The arts are super cool tbh ! You guys did a pretty good Job. It's hilarious, everything fits together building a nice coherent world. Super nice :-)

Is it me or the tempo when you press to get a green arrow is just a tiny bit delayed ?

I really like the concept of the loop there : Because, is not like these usual games where either only Score matters or you loose if you miss too much moves (arrows).

In your game you don't loose you just have a music that sounds less entertaining and the musicians are a bit bored. So each good moves just brings the mood back step by step and it feels super rewarding.

I would say, for a musical game is a very nice prototype that could be shown as a good practice to reward the player with music. Instead of rewarding with score or with survival mechanics. If you have a minute checkout out our game :-)

gg wp ! :-)

I love playing music games so I'm really glad I got to try this one! The music is really good and catchy. The art is very nice and I really like the light effects at the bottom of the screen. The only downside is that it lacks a bit of feedback when you press the keys at the right time, I would have liked a bit more polish on that side. Otherwise I liked the game very much, well done to the whole team =D

Loving the art and music in this one!

Nice game! The art and music are great! Perhaps can improve better adding more feedback when the player is on the good way or he is wrong, also inform that the player has got a combo could be great! Despite that, it's a good game! Congrats!

Nicely implemented rhythm game. Initially I though something was wrong as no music was coming even when I was hitting the notes. More feedback would be nice and also maybe to group the instruments a bit more different so if you miss a single note a tiny part of the music would die. Really liked the graphics and the mood.

Strong art and music and overall "story"! I wasn't sure what the arrow colours meant (where does blue fit in the good to bad scale?) or what the contraption at the bottom was about, maybe adding some temporary pop up text or crowd cheers or boos or something would clarify. I wanted to get the right colours and hear more of the music but it seemed pretty tricky. I liked the band characters, very creative!

Nice! Rhythm games are hard to pull off and rare to see in jams, I really enjoyed yours and the effort that went in to it!

chris-fagan 2020-10-22 11:57

Nice job! Really liked the music. Very cool to see a rhythm game in the jam. I've not seen anyone else do one yet!

I love the theme, visuals, and audio effects! Gameplay fun as well once I got the hang of it! I wonder what future levels and extensions would look like! Perhaps make the progression of a band, and randomize good band moments with bad ones?

I had fun, and the art is lovely
