Great game! Couldn't manage to finish it yet but I'll definitely come back to this one later. the kid starting to float really creeped me out.

Reeeeee tried a few runs, couldn't get past the guitar. Haven't seen any way to tell how close you are to defeat, ie how much misses till gameover. This was a lil infurating too. Other than that, fun times. <3
Nice rhythm game!
good rhythm game
it was mystically cute and gorgeous, it would be more convenient if the buttons were slightly different colors like in guitar hero
Cool game, good rhythm game mechanic and nice job with QoL feature of highlighting optimal press time on the notes. Some of the note patterns were way overcharted though and didn't correspond well to the music.
@themaskedman haha well thanks for playing! It’s obvious making a game, especially in this genre, that playtesting is a good thing.. And I agree, wish I put more thought into secondary mechanics/ui, the arbitrary score and progress was very last minute. Thanks for your input! <3
@heretic Cheers! Yeah.. I should’ve trusted their testing that it helps with distinguishing the fast notes. Thanks for playing :)
@lisek-gagatek Thanks! I can see that, and I realized too late that I put notes in the music that my game couldn’t handle without huge changes.. I underestimated the time some parts take of making a game like this.
Nice - actual - rhythm game. You managed to set a perfect, creepy mood. Indicating accuracy of notes is a plus, though maybe it could've been slightly clearer. You went pretty crazy with patterns in the late game. Personally I wouldn't have used triple notes. It felt.. a bit too much. Maybe it's because there are only three tracks, not sure.
I would recommend using git or other version control for your project. Google drive links are always a risky move.
Good entry!
This was nice! A bit too hard for me though. Was not able to finish. Liked the music, fit the theme of the game nicely!
very cool vibe in the game. love the guy slowly emerging from the bed and twitching in the air.
I'm not a rhythm game person but it was beatable for me. the beat didn't seem to have too much to do with the actual music at times but that is probably the hardest thing to do in these games and I think you did a decent job there. The score is a bit hard to read in the bottom left because of the color.
It's not clear how to play without reading the page here first + the lose condition was unclear to me. would be nice too just have an intro screen explaining stuff a bit.
Was hoping for a jumpscare or something at the end I feel like it would have been some good payoff^^
Wow, I got myself a finger workout! hahaha. I do not normally play rhythm games, so that was fun and different. It took me a few tries to find my rhythm (is that a pun?), but once I did I got it. I think I won...? There was no end screen, the game turned a solid white and then exited lol. Either way I had fun. :)
The game is good, but I am bad at playing it. Great music and pretty good visuals.
I really wish the tempo of the music matched what was going on for the button requests in game. A simple 1.2.3.4 drum loop that matches speed would greatly enhance the experience. I like how there are only 3 buttons to press and they are left, right, down, but even then without synced music, it's very difficult to get the hang of without muting the game.
The graphics were enjoyable and the game itself matched the theme quite well. :)
