Wow. The soundtrack is amazing.
Knew I would like the game just from that gif of the little guy dancing. Music is excellent. Only gripe is that those first few moves became tedious when I had to restart once I had memorized/solved the puzzle step. If you ever continue further, maybe add a fast forward button through the parts already completed?
Good music. Fun concept, hurt my smooth brain trying to match the dancing lol. Good Job!
I love this, so charming! Great song, and I really like that my dance pattern is used to play the drums. The animations are really cute too. The only problem I had was that failing a round sent me all the way back instead of retrying the latest round, which I think would have been nice. Sometimes I would watch the dance animation and forget to check what part was coming up in the next round, which usually meant I wouldn't figure out what was changing in time. Great job!
this deserves to do well, genuinly had a good time playing it
Really fun! This is definitely a Jam Gem, I can very well see it becoming an expanded official game. Masterful work with the music, too! Only nitpick is to add the ability to Restart from your previous move, instead of the beginning again.
The music and game feel are sooo good there, realy enjoyed even just listening to it. So sad I'm bad at it XD maybe the reason it's hard to watch for the cursor position and dance moves. I was constatly trying to hit new move with some button, not click it)
Very cool background music. I would listen and listen. I couldn’t immediately guess the right positions and I just memorized and repeated again and again. But after level 6, I guessed two in a row. That was amazing. On management - I did not immediately understand that you need to click on the rectangles with the mouse. Can you add any additional hint?
aaaaaa I keep loosing too much for my sleep deprived brain now!
cute graphics, I like how the drum machine makes the little man move around like a puppet very elegant way to connect an abstract pattern to something more relatable
"coming up" symbol very appreciated, it's nice that the body parts come one at a time so it's not too confusing i like how you highlight the body parts
this is probably a very nice way to introduce the idea of drum machines/sequencers to a fresh mind
fun! thanks for pulling this out of your neurons along with the composed music! :heart:
I am unbelievably bad at this, but it's incredibly charming. Loved it!
Woah! That was really fun :)
Definitely the lack of checkpoints is holding the game back a lot, but the core loop is fun, and I really enjoyed the soundtrack!
Simple but awesome artstyle! Nice game! (:
This is one of my favorites! So simple, but so fun. Great game!
My favorite after near 10 games tested! Really fun and great music :) Nice job!
Such a nice game! I really like the idea and the drum machine :D How do you even come up with this :D Music is a banger! Incredible what you managed to achieve in such a short time alone! Hats of to you!
Oh man that's some excellent design! Love the soundtrack, very Discovery-esque at parts, mimicking a drum sequencer for dancing is very smart and the upcoming body part makes it much easier to know what to look out for. Only complaint was that I was wishing for some checkpoints at first but after getting better it was a nice challenge in an endless runner type way. Great entry!
Gosh what a gem to be honest! First impression is quite a wrong here, you made it quite right. The theme interpretation is quite unusual and the only struggle I had is that fact that any error leads to start from the very beginning. But really a awesome entry!
soundtrack was amazing
this has to be one of the best entries! a cute idea with simple mechanics and an excellent handle on music and art design. i really loved this!!
Cute game!
The graphics are simple but clean, the palette is nice. For the initial couple of loops the music felt great and I was looking forward to the variations of both the music loop and the drumkit (+ the movements of the little dude).
The gameplay itself could have been improved. The reference and the user input are far away so it's a lot of semi-tedious back and forth without much real challenge to it. The timeline bar is also far away: maybe you could add an indicator of time on the right-hand side?
Really fun and creative! Those ten seconds really go quickly when you're not on top of it. Love the track, too.
IT IS SO GOOOD! The track and how sounds were associated to moves really got me going for a while - I managed to go about 17 moves in I believe. The little drummer get is adorable, and the colours scheme is pleasant. I am tempted to go back and try to see if there is an end to it :D Your game deserves more love!!
Sequencer/drum machine puzzle game is a genuinely novel and interesting concept. Love love love this! Definitely something i'd love to see made into a bigger release!
I think this is my favorite. Awesome graphics (I'm a game artist and I can appreciate essential visuals), super intuitive and great music (it needs to because of its mechanics).
This is my all around 5 star-er.
This is a *fantastic* idea! I was vibing and having tons of fun. My one complaint is that one mistake sent all the way back to the start. A couple times My ADHD took over and I zoned out with the music and forgot to check the "up next" icon, then wasn't quick enough to spot the difference. Then I was bummed out to have to start over. But that is a minor gripe, this was a great entry! Well done!
Super fun game! The music is amazing. One of my favorites!
Great game! Took me a while to understand what to do, but then I was blown away. The idea is awesome and the funky music is truly mindblowing! Love the musical feedback as soon as the next stage has been solved.
On one hand I think the gameplay is a bit too unforgiving, on the other hand I would have enjoyed some variation on each run through.
But I had a great time! Thanks!
Absolutely love this, really unique idea and you've integrated the gameplay with the music beautifully. I like how you took the time limit suggested by the theme and used it to make the player perform a normally slow and precise task in a short amount of time. Having such clear visual and audio cues makes the game feel completely fair even once it starts to get hard. Great job!
This is a cool way to gamify a drum sampler! :D Actually it's even a bit educational: as someone who struggle to find good drum patterns, this game provided plenty of good examples! I also loved the music evolution, it's just really neat. Went pretty far on the normal mode, and the jam mode was also sweet to play. Congrats for this fantastic game!
