Always great to have a online leaderboard in a jam game. The idea is very simple however its very well executed. Fun game :)
Really cool physics! It was actually quite difficult to do some of these jumps but if felt pretty satisfying.
Really cool idea! I think it would have been good for the player being able to control when the bugs start running. I didnt beat it. But I'm also really bad at these type of games :D

I beat it! (For one level I looked into the walkthrough because I was stupid and didnt think of the jumping pad)
I have to say.. this Game is awesome! The puzzles are really good and fun. The music is just... crazy :D really nice singing ;) And the Game looks great. All of this in 48h is just crazy. Amazing job!
It's very repetitive to do the same level 5 times.
I really like the idea. I'ts actually really fun and very well executed. Good job!
Wow! Great game. Really impressive for 48h. Really interesting platformer idea.
Awesome Gameplay! really fun. I love these type of fast paced platformers. And this one is really interesting. A fail condition would have been nice I think. And the music gets kind of annoying and repetitive after some time :D Overall its a great game tho! Good job!
Wow! I'm really suprised by this. First I thought the wall of text in the beginning was a pretty big downer. But the Gameplay is easier than it first seems. Really cool and in depth Idea. And the Game also looks great! Good job!
Really cool game! must have been pretty hard to do all the smooth camera movements in this time. Also the Voiceovers are great :D
Really cool game! I like the turn-based combat. And the game is surprisingly in depth for a Game Jam game. I'm only missing some music in the fights. But other than that it's a great entry! Great job!
Nice polished Tower-defense game! I really like that it warns you when creature approach off-screen. And the art and music also fits very good together.
Really well done! Good job
Cool Lemmings type game!
Pretty cool idea! I think with some more intuitive controls and some graphical enhancements this could be something :D
Amazing Game! A really in depth clicker game. These Games are just so addicting and this one is no exception. Great job making this in 48h!
This game is just amazing. This doesn't really feel like a jam game. It's so polished and all. Great Job!
what a waste of time... literally ;) Really cool game tho. I like that it becomes more challanging the longer you play. And some of the notification are really good :D
What the hell did I just play :D It's definitely an "interesting" Idea lol. The Gameplay is very simple and not too intriguing. And sometimes it was very unclear where the wife "shoots" her babys.
Wow! This is probably the most beatiful Jam Game I've ever played :D I know its unreal engine but the models and the lighting makes this look sooo good. The Gameplay itself is a simple Platformer but very well executed. Great Job to you and your daughter!
This felt a little like one of those clicker games. Its actually really addicting and you do want to finish it. Good job!
Once I understood how this game actually works it was quite fun to play. It's a nice puzzle game Idea :)
A little unintuitive to figure out the controls. Also the very long wall of text is not very intriguing. I think the idea is interesting tho.
Really interesting game! I really like that you can kill enemies by clicking them. And the music has a nice vibe. Kinda felt like an interesting twist on clicker games :D
I beat it :D very simple game with simple graphics. It's ok.
@wupi oh really? that sucks. I tried to test it on multiple computers and it worked on everyone of them.
@tuism no this was actually my first rhythm game.
@wupi oh nice! And yes I noticed that too with multiple notes. But I didnt have enough time to look into it in the end. Glad you liked it :)
@frogman yeah I was aware of this bug. I kept it in because of time and also so people are able to beat it. Because yes, this game is difficult and that was my intention. However you are probably right it's really punishing to lose 2 points for a miss. And the multi-note bug doesnt help. I tried to balance the win requirements with enough tolerance but its hard to do that if you are the only person testing it :D
Glad you enjoyed it! thank you :)
@markeryjane yeah the problem with multiple keys at once is not only you. I think the input handler from the engine just doesn't work that good for these type of games. And yes the music is overall pretty basic and the mappings are all in quarter notes. I planned to make the music a little more interesting but composing and mapping like 6 songs in one day kinda makes you uncreative in the end :D
@camcomduck @jhonny111 yeah maybe I made this a little too difficult for a jam game I realize lol... I did not have too much trouble with the levels but of course I can't assume that for everyone :D I will learn from this and make my next jam games easier^^
@ember44 thx for the feedback! These are definitely all valid points. I planned for more visuals like you could see them actually dance in the background, but wasn't able to get to that because of the time limit.
And yeah there seems to be a bug in the end that just drains your points after the song sometimes... I have not figuerd out what triggers it..
And even though I have done quite a few games on Itch.io now, I still always forget about the ESC thing... maybe next time I will remember :D (surely not)
@kateryna Glad you liked it :D I planned to make more of the Overworld part initially. It really was supposed to be like Pokemon just with Dancing instead of fighting. I might pick this up again and try to make it an actual game :D it was really fun to make.
@mibi88 yeah the difficulty really depends on the person. For some people it's no problem and for others it's really hard to get into. In my opinion rhythm games shouldn't be too easy that you just first try every song. However for a Game Jam I realize I should've made it a little easier :D
And I will make adjustments to the game like the controls and bug fixes. But I will do this after the jam to not fake the ratings.
Really fun little game! It's pretty challenging but in a good way. Nice job!
