:'D''. Very nice!
I think I've experienced peak but it just flew past me. Ok, where do I begin...
1. The voice acting and singing is on point. It makes me wanna scream SALMONING with them. 2. The 'story' and the fun misinterpretation of the theme is absolutely hilarious. By far the funniest game I've played so far! :smile: 4. I'm going to be honest I don't know how to play the game. I keep pressing s or k, trying to find a rhythm but I just can't nailed it down.
Overall, an amazing experience despite my lack of skill! Great work!
3. I need the salmoning song on Spotify right now!
BEST. GAME. EVER. That was great fun, and hilarious to boot. I'm confused about the scoring as no matter how many salmon I summon I always ended with 0/140. The audio is obviously great, and the visuals fitted very well with what you're going for. I played this way more times than I probably should. Good stuff :8ball:
It might be my stupidity but I don't know how to play. Should I be pressing the keys exactly when the notes show up (which seems impossible without guessing)? Should I be pressing them half a second after they show up? Should I wait for the entire line to appear and then try to press the keys? I always seemed to fail and when I managed to hit a few salmons, it seemed to be random.
The voice actiong is so fun. But like the rest said, i couldnt even manage to do anything (S and K diddnt do anything or maybe i was just too slow? Its like lacking some feedback there). Otherwise fun.
I want some sushi after this game. Absolutely love the song!
@fabighindaru @oddballdave @astride @ecenizo Thanks for playing! Yeah, I definitely understand the difficulty of the game. The controls are indeed 'S' and 'K,' and it's a call-and-response kind of mechanic: Salmoner sings for 4 beats, then the player inputs the notes that appear on top afterwards. The notes to input are almost always in line with the way the Salmoner just sang. It's like what happens when a singer says "repeat after me" (which, in retrospect, Salmoner should've said as well).
The structure is kind of like sheet music (each circle represents a sixteenth note), but I totally get that that can be difficult to get used to, even with experience with sheet music. Given the lack of feedback (something like "late" or "early" visual indicators) as well, which I now realize is a crucial missing feature, and the darn calibration system that broke last-minute, and the fact that I did make the timings quite tight (probably a window of <100 ms for each note), rest assured that this is not an easy game, to say the least.
Regardless, I appreciate your time spent playing my game, I hope you had an enjoyable experience regardless, and... SALMONNNNN!!!!!!

@heretic OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
1. Didn't manage to generate a single salmon. 2. Still had tons of fun 10/10
This game was so difficult! How do I respect the rhythm when I'm laughing so hard???! All jocks aside, this is such a cute and fun game, cheers! Bonus point for the pun!
ohhh yeahhhhh SALMONNNN hahah funniest game of the jam, awesome experience. Gameplay wise I wasn't good and didn't manage to get far, it was a bit hard for me. But everything else made up for it as it was fun from the first second. The tone of the game is perfect and exactly what I'm looking for. Nice job on this game and thank you for this!
@mariorod @gwethelynn @gabriel-bissonnette Thanks for playing! Yeah, this was a valuable learning experience for me in terms of game difficulty, and I'll be sure to focus more attention on that in the future. Glad you all had fun though!
This is very funny game! Nice work
I feel like this game would be amongst the top if it had a good learning/difficult curve and there was feedback on when to hit the notes so that you understand why even if you are hitting them they don't seem to be registering.
It looks hilarious, and I've seen that there's some dialogue that looks fun. But it's hard to enjoy when you feel a bit frustrated / like you are wasting time trying to play when it doesn't seem to work.
It's a shame. Please ping us if you do a post-compo version that works!!! dasilvacontin@gmail.com
Very funny game, all I want in my life now is more salmon!
I found the game *extremely* hard though. I could only generate one or two salmon at a time. Some feedback to indicate what I was doing wrong would go a long way!
Hard and fun! Seriously, the timing is close TwT But nice song! I managed 18 in 5 games.
I managed to get 2 and I'm proud.
The game is hilarious and the voice acting is very well done! Very fun presentation and take on the theme too!
As others have said though, I felt the timings were too tight. I tried to SALMON, I really did. But every time I actually got my blessed fish friends to appear, they didn't stick around for long. The road to becoming a SALMONER is certainly longer and more painful than I anticipated!
If you get to make an extended post jam version, I'd like to hear more SALMONING songs!
