Game looks good and has fun puzzles! Only criticism would be the restart time is kind of long.

Most fun game I've played so far. Interesting design I would never have thought of!
Beautiful looking game, very impressive to have done all that in a weekend!
Really nice looking and pretty fun game! Xbox controller didn't work for me btw.
Ditto
Shame you didn't have more time, looks really nice and interested to see where it could have gone!
Easily best soundtrack of ld47 and fun little game overall! Btw i got bounced between the mushrooms in the middle and then blasted off the map first time I tried it.
@bajtix shoe cleaning does work, it's just not that obvious what to do. you're supposed to click the tissue button until shoes are clean rather than drag them like i was trying at the start.
Very well made game, made me smile :)
Cool idea!
Didn't seem to make sense to me that you could sometimes push sometimes pull. But all in all pretty cool game, graphics look very nice and was decenlty fun!
Really cool game. Easily the best game I've played so far! The door puzzle had me stumped for way too long...
@thevideogamester Oh cool! I never use it but I do have an account - same as ld username -> [@ctpeepee](https://twitter.com/ctpeepee)
(I've asked my friend about his twitter, I'll get back to you if he has one)
Cool game overall! Took me a bit to realise all you needed to do was position ship at overlap, thought you were going to have to boost yourself at correct trajectory. Feel like that would have been cooler/more intuitve but also way harder to implement of course.
Hey mom im the best at something, no1 in the world! Pretty cool game, graphics are nice and game is suprisingly fun. The character sure is good at throwing boxes considering her clothes are over her face half the time!
Super cool graphics and cool theme based idea!
@jordanfb awesome, thanks! thanks for the suggestion, we had thought about a test level like you describe but wanted to avoid making it just a platformer but soudns play when you press the keys if you see what i mean (even if just for warmup). from what you say I think I would prefer to make the early levels "harder" (without being too hard) so you work out earlier on what youre doing without just luckily completing them. eg, maybe we should have limited you to just hihat first level, hihat kick second etc. really we just needed more levels total to make progreession better but ran out of time!
@hank-ather Thanks! I completley agree with your QOL suggestion. I actually went to implement that at one point but would have had to change a few things round so opted to try make more levels instead! Interestingly we actually already do quantize the input. It's set to quantize to 1/4 beats so might not be immediately obvious. I think maybe it should be 1/2 or 1 for earlier levels perhaps. That said, there are a bunch of issues with audio timings due to how we implmeneted stuff.
@empty-set thanks for the feedback! I agree the keyboard controls are awkward (plays much better on controller!) and something like zxcv would have been better. The controls matching the drums rather than the commands is rather the point of the game however! The levels certianly need work to introduce things better, eg only allow certain drums at start, but point was to not just directly tell player what does what. Partly because we had ideas we ran out of time for where the commands change!
@honey Thanks! Yeah the practice/recording section is a bit awkward I agree. Having knowledge of the level would be against what we were going for in the jam as a more puzzle game but having the backing track (if that's what you meant) during warmup is a cool idea I hadn't thought of! And you felt correctly! There's no silence on sfx and we weren't quite sure why timings were so bad for ages. Eventually realised it's because we were doign all the timings on the game thread... If we continued work on game, this would be the first thing we rectify as it is kind of cruical to a music based game to have good timing 😂
@thevideogamester thanks! totally agree with your comments. On that we had some ideas to build up the track yourself, ie first time through you lay down the drums, next the bass etc. Didn't have time to figure out how to make the play throughs different enough to be fun though.
Really cool game but too short!
