"Watch and listen carefully" that immediately made me guess the type of game I'll be playing, I haven't played this kind of memory games since I was a child so I'm not the best at it lol, that being said I make it to 9 notes as the highest I can remember so it's not so bad. the intro music is really sweet, I just sat there initially and listened to the entire thing, it's really beautiful! is that the Minor Harmonic? nice work, it's a really simple yet engaging game!

Hey this game is really cute, i love the intro song and the animations ! the graphics genre is really surprising too i like it a lot !

Honestly I can't decide between surfer, french and nerd ghost. They're all fun! The intro is truly awesome! The game itself is very difficult tho. Other then that great work you two!

@0x-void-x0 Thanks for the feedback! I spent a while fiddling and improvising on my keyboard and eventually landed on a chord progression and melody I quite liked, and I'm glad you like it too!

Such games have always made me suffer! I rate the graphics positively, but I noticed that some notes sink in or are played at the same time. It didn't bother me, but it created dissonance. Good game!

Very polished game! Love the art and music. My idea is maybe summoned ghosts could chill around somewhere on the screen.

Really liked the visual style and smoothness of the animations. The gameplay itself is simple but appropriate for a gamejam.I couldn't get over XI notes straight, haha. Good job!!

I really like the visuals and clever remarks from the ghosts. I am pretty bad at these memory games, looks like I averaged out at 5-6 notes :smile: Very calming and cute game

I really like the music and the post processing filter that you used! The dialogue was fun and made the game more enjoyable too. While memory games like this aren't the most original, you managed to put your own unique twist on the formula. Good job!

I really enjoyed the graphics in this game! Super moody and fun at the same time! Played for a bit and enjoyed every minute!

I think the visuals are really good, didnt expect that with just the portrait. The piano scene was well polished and felt nice. I think the game is kind of boring to be honest because its too simple. Some feedback in case you find it useful: - the menu is nice but felt a different game with that different style, the piano scene is awesome, could replace the menu with some intro in that same piano scene that looks better - include some more details in the piano scene, maybe in the background, to give more ambience and decoration something moving in the background or i dont know, to feel that the piano is somewhere not in the middle of nowhere - some challange to avoid making the same simon game, maybe include more interactions, timings notes, colors, tips in case you dont know which note is coming, something to make me feel to try another match because i think i could do it better

(my favourite ghost was the italian one)

The balladesque song in the main menu is legitimately good IMHO and sets up the mood nicely. The art style is clean. I think the blend of 2d and 3d worked nicely. The gameplay itself is simple, while being well executed so not much to say there, but if I were to improve something it would be making the game less repetitive somehow, not sure how though. Dialogues were charming and my favourite ghost would have to be Jerry. The furthest I've gotten is 8 notes.

Simon Says with ghosts and nice dialog. Good job! The graphics are nice and the ambiance really cool.
