Very cute, lova that!

The artwork is phenominal! I've been playing Trombone Champ lately, and this is simpler, but just as addicting. This is one of the rare games where it is genuinely ahrd to not like the character in a Gamejam game. One thing, I think some of the notes were squished too close together. I think including less of those pattern, and opting more more diver patterns like stairs could be fun as well. Good work!

So hard :crying_cat_face:, but fun and beautiful

At least got third place after a few rounds and about ~4000 points in all the songs! Thats enough! :smile:

The artwork is awesome, the music is majestic and the puns are really punny. So great job!

If i want to be picky, I kinda had the feeling that the beat of the song wasn´t aligned to the pattern I had to click. But that could be me! Also, it would be nice to be able to save in the game, so that it remembers that you unlocked the rythm mode as well as your current highscores.

But since the jam is just three days long, thats just a small point!

I loved your game!

orhu 2023-01-09 23:34

Very cute game. The music was great too. I am terrible at rhythm games so I didn't do too well, but I still had fun!

robobarbie 2023-01-10 03:09

i am so happy to see rhythm games here again. the art is so cute and i am addicted to skarming. unique aesthetic/song genre for a rhythm game!!!

ferelily 2023-01-10 03:17

I love it!?! Y'all really wrote some bangers! I do think the beat input might have been a bit off, but otherwise, *chef's kiss*!

pazzi 2023-01-10 03:31

Seriously, I was blown away by this entry- I feel warm and fuzzy inside =~=

eddrw 2023-01-10 06:59

Omg I love this!! The art is great, the music is great, it's a rhythm game, and not just a rhythm game but a ska rhythm game.

rhum 2023-01-10 13:45

This is a PHENOMENAL jam submission. It's so tidy, so clean, so polished, good job really!

afrasiab352 2023-01-10 14:03

Quite a polished game with lovely art style, but too difficult for me to enjoy it thoroughly.

tayl1r 2023-01-10 14:39

This is soooooo impressive for 3 days work. Really fun writing, art, music, gameplay... I would pay for this, lol. Too bad I have two left feet when it comes to this kind of game, but at least I can play to the end despite messing it all up!

nayth 2023-01-10 16:04

I found the art phenomenal ! too bad I suck at rythm games =___= but overall polish is top notch, well done !

nikitavychuz 2023-01-10 18:00

This was very cute! The art style is filled with warm summer vibes and the design of characters is adorable. With some more songs and a less abridged story, this game can easily become a full experience. The fact that you can't hit the notes a little late is brutal, but I think I got used to it and got the best ending :) I wish the columns weren't so far apart as that makes it harder to keep track of everything. Overall, a very impressive amount of work in such short amount of time.

sangoro2 2023-01-10 20:29

this is amazing for 3 days, love teh art style and the poliiiish

ianlux 2023-01-10 20:43

absoultely amazing crazy amount of polish and care for 3 days, awesome job! (looks like I also suck at rythm games though lmao)

truechips 2023-01-10 21:58

Haha! You thought you made a hard game!

Unfrotunately for you, I am the avid osu! player!

Very fun game! The art, the humour, and the songs are all top notch! Good job y'all.

cornflowerblue 2023-01-11 03:00

I'm bad at these kinds of games 😭. It was really fun though! Everything kinda comes together here. Very cute visuals.

adhesion 2023-01-11 03:36

That was awesome! I love rhythm games and you really nailed it here. Art, music, writing all top notch. Super fun too - maybe a bit too hard for beginners but I didn't find it too difficult. Just had some minor nitpicks about the gameplay: it feels a little weird to have the note lanes spread out so much, like there wasn't a natural single spot on the screen for me to look at, I sort of had to scan around a lot horizontally to keep up. Also since the scroll speed is fairly slow it was a bit difficult to sightread the more syncopated rhythms. Timing felt quite tight too, at least between miss & the next one. Still was super fun, managed to get 1st place. Overall an amazing entry, excellent work. Ska's not dead!!! :trumpet:

neilcorre2k6 2023-01-11 06:12

As a guitarist, playing this with one hand feels so satisfying! :grin: art style looks good, animations looks clean, and the songs...omg, you got some good songs in here. Overall, job well done!

jfeeefl 2023-01-11 09:39

Cute visual and harmonic atmosphere! Though I'm bad at this type, I can tell how polished and delicated it is. Great job!

bobbie 2023-01-11 11:15

This game is absurdly charming, I've FCed all the included charts and I'm hungry for more!

The included songs are catchy, the effects are on point, and the visuals & characters are great.

Using just WASD is a bit uncomfortable, so I ended up using W/A with my left hand and Up Arrow/Right Arrow with my right hand - it would be great if HJKL could also be used to further improve comfort. A way to change scroll speed would have been great too, but fully understandable it didn't make it in, there's already so much here.

Overall probably the best game I've seen from the jam - major props to everybody on the team.

caranha 2023-01-11 11:53

Aaah, the game was so cute >.

But it was also sooooooo hard :-) I tend to think that I do pretty well with rhythm games, but I got my butt kicked by this one :sweat_smile:.

One thing that I missed was a little bit more sound feedback when hitting the keys.

Thank you for the great game! (also, it works perfectly with wine)

torcado 2023-01-11 17:45

this is awesome!! super cute artstyle, funny dialog. reaally good music. im surprised by how hard you made it! my years of playing stepmania prepared me well for this :) usually these ddr-like jam games end up being way too easy so this was a lot of fun haha, but i imagine itll be tricky for many people. having a column dedicated to just holds is an interesting divergence from classic ddr, it'd be cool to see an expansion on this (a column for just rolls, or a specific pattern maybe). really polished and really nice :)

fnkee 2023-01-12 01:04

Man, you guys have put a LOT of love into the details of this:

- Small pause before using a new instrument, to let the player get ready - The cyan flash on "Sublime" - Beautiful palette, matching both UI and characters - Twists and triads in the ska beats, making for a challenging final - Nice and clever transitions in the VN elements - Visual effects when going above 10x combo - Note-buttons on overalls <3

Certainly the most polished jam I've played this year. So fun - and excellent ska beats @chunderfins. bandcamp follow inc.!

(FCd first stage, but couldn't beat @bobbie's score!)

snekofspice 2023-01-13 08:13

I'm so bad at this but damn do I love all of the vibes this has

annie-owl 2023-01-13 14:40

Great game! If only my feel of rhythm wasn't that bad, because I've botched every song I've played :sweat_smile: I guess there is not enough ska in my heart :slight_frown:

animatrix1490 2023-01-13 19:57

Very difficult for me but that's because I'm not great at rhythm games. Incredibly charming with the visuals and the music. Good job! Incredibly well put together for a jam submission!

artsyomni 2023-01-14 23:00

Love me a good rhythm game, and as somebody who has at least some idea of what goes into making a track, I definitely admire anyone who has the stuff it takes to make one in 3 days time! Really cute art style too; I'm a sucker for some chalky linework, and the color choices are very cohesive. You definitely knew how to keep your scope in check. Kudos on a great entry!

angela-he 2023-01-19 22:58

this is really cute, as expected coming from this team!

pretty tough difficulty curve, the best strat at first for me was to slam all 4 keys on each note since I don't get punished for wrong notes :P even with this ultimate strat it's surprisingly difficult so I ended up just giting gud and using AS and up/right arrow keys. really fun with a mechanical keyboard. I love rhythm games and whoever did these maps knows their stuff! congrats on a solid first entry.

thyoi 2023-01-29 09:05

This game is very cute, I recognized the nomnomnomnami's style
