I love a good rhythm game! I played the tutorial and the first level - at first it wasn't totally clear to me when to press but when I relied less on the visual cues and more on the audio I was able to do much better. I think the visual cue isn't super clear on when precisely you should press the button - at first I was trying to do it when the mouse was in the middle of the wire (I dunno weaving terms lol) but I got the hang of it. I've been toying around for a couple of years with an idea about making a crochet-focused rhythm game and this is inspiring me to do just that! Great work.

This is a very beautiful and fun game, but unfortunately, it’s not very well optimized; both I and a couple of my friends experienced occasional freezing and lag. Otherwise, it’s wonderful.

That's a pretty original idea! I can't remember if I've ever seen a rhythm game with a knitting theme before.
I liked it.
Hey, it was really cool and in the theme, good innovation. Why more time you can add more music theme and patchwork. Maybe an hardmode as well ? Nice work !

@zagush We’ve made some improvements to the game! Would you like to give it another try? We’d love to hear about your experience and feedback. Please let us know if you still experience any lag while weaving. Thank you so much!

@aterim Thanks so much! We’re really glad you enjoyed the game! We had a little lightbulb moment while brainstorming: “Wait, what if we put rhythm game notes right on the yarn?” It turned out to be such a fun mix of weaving and music, and we had a blast making it!

@guillaume-cleenewerck Thanks so much for playing and for the kind words about our idea and the work we put into it! We wanted to experiment with more weaving rhythms too, but we just ran out of time. We do have a ridiculously hard mode in our development build, though! It’s a bit like a typing game: all the arrow prompts are replaced with random keyboard keys. Haha, would you be up for giving that a try?

@naidove Great! In the evening I will try and write, you should write more reviews and rate other games so that your game is brought to the top, because this is a great and beautiful game and it will be a pity if few people play it

I can’t, this cat is so cute🥹
THIS IS SO LOVELY. This is fantastic. I Loooove this one. The sewing rhythm game, all the designs and the adorable cat and wonderful music. Creative, fun, super charming, inspiring!!. My ONE and only minor complaint is that I wish that the mouse moved a little faster for lines with only one or two buttons on it. Otherwise, its so good!!!

Really really well done, music sync is a little bit faulty, but otherwise the concept is really interesting and the art is really cute.

It’s a nicely made game, but I found it too easy, and the music didn’t help at all to keep me from getting bored. And, in general, I’ve never really been able to understand this vibe that cats give off. But the game is enjoyable either way.
That was a lovely little game! I wish there was more levels!

@lera Right?! Isn’t it just the cutest? I love this little sewing kitty so much! Our artist did such an amazing job!

@aidan-andrews Thanks so much for playing and sharing your feedback! The waiting can feel a bit dull on lanes with just one or two notes. We noticed that during development too, but weren’t sure how to fix it. One idea is to fill those gaps with hold notes. Do you think that would help?

@purpledeni Thanks so much for playing! We’re sorry the music was out of sync. We’ll get right on fixing it! 🫶

@paulsams Thanks so much for playing! I bet you’re a rhythm game pro, haha! Did the music feel boring because it was too mellow overall? Would you prefer something with a stronger beat? We’d love to hear more about what you think—your feedback would really help us make the game even better!

@stingdragon Thanks so much for playing and for the kind words! We’re planning more cute weaving levels, or maybe even a mode where you can weave your own patterns and have the game automatically turn them into music. Then you could share your creations for others to play! Would you be excited to try something like that?

Love the graphics, the concept, the art, everything. It's just perfect! Such a great idea.
The only issue I had was that when you turn around and start, the initial distance is a bit too short for me, so I often miss the first key press.
That's really the only thing. Everything else is just very nicely done. Great job!

@naidove Well, I didn’t say the game needed to be made harder, yeah (and it’s not like I played the rhythm game a lot either). It just means that such difficulty isn’t for me at all. And as for the music — it was kind of featureless, playing in the background and not even trying to convey any mood, except to just be… Who knows what? I believe that in rhythm games, it’s important for the music to try to convey something or to be simply fun, so that it can entertain you (to change dynamically, to have some kind of peak, etc., and not to be too long if the gameplay as a whole is rather monotonous). The best song is the second level (but even that is just in comparison with the others), but no single track matched the overall beat in the background.

@naidove I played through the game again, and now everything is great!! There were a couple of instances of lag, but only for a few milliseconds, so it’s completely negligible. I just want to say once more that this is a wonderful game—well done!!:3

美术非常棒,专职音乐成员的工作也很不错~ 用织布机来做音游是个很有趣的想法。 但是似乎有个致命的问题,三个关卡里,节拍器和音乐节奏都没对上,反而影响了体验。不知道是不是我这里本地的bug。

美术是我看一眼就会点进来的程度,游戏是我都想付费的哪种好,三个关卡都打了SSS屏幕截图 2026-10-23 123820.JPG屏幕截图 2026-10-23 123447.JPG,希望能有难一点的关卡,好像第一把都AP了。小猫和人物设计太精妙绝伦了,创意也很好,织布的时候还有织布机往下点的反馈,玩起来超级舒适

I actually also thought abt using the Jacquard loom when I was brainstorming, but couldn’t figure out how to turn it into something genuinely fun to play. Combining it with a rhythm game was such a creative idea, and it works really well! The art and music are also excellent. I did find the gameplay a little repetitive towards the end. overall, it’s a really refreshing and original take on the concept!

Oh wow! I really liked this one! The art of everything is stellar, the cat's cute, the robots you're weaving for are all really cool, and the idea was quite neat. This was a great entry!
Very nice game! Nice, original idea of using rhythm game inputs to crochet. I did experience a little bit of lag, but overall it wasn't too bad. Sometimes I felt that the music didn't really match what I was doing? I felt most this way during the second level/song.
Overall though, great idea! I could see this being expanded on and becoming a really cool game!

Great entry!
Loved the idea of using weaving as the old tech and how that aligned with a rhythm game, really clever. The art in the game was very nice, and the music pleasant. The inputs seemed to register fine and I didn't run into any bugs. I really liked that the threads changed colors for the garment throughout the song.
One thing that would've improve this entry for me, is making the "on" beats of the songs more pronounced and precisely match with the inputs needed. While I could hit the arrows with the correct timing, the music didn't seem to align to it well (though it was the right tempo at least), compared to other rhythm games.

okay placing a rhythm game on a loom like this is truly inspired. I really like the character art and the way the thread gets placed on the warp is very cool (how'd you guys do that?) and seeing it come together at the end is quite satisfying. great job!
