Congratulations on the 9th place! This one is my 1st place! :)
Aww, thank you!
What worked:
It's great, and feels like a unique take on Osu. The song is fun and keeps you moving. I really enjoyed it! It's not too mechanically hard to get into, so getting high scores doesn't feel like a chore either! Basing movement only on mouse movement works really well for this making the rhythm portion feel very smooth.
Having the outlines telegraph movements works very well so you can focus on "hitting the notes" as opposed to only having good reflexes and/or memory.
What didn't:
Some of the patterns seem to overlap to the point where I would ignore them (notably some bars that spawned at top of screen) and would be just fine moving from the one before to the next one.
Bugs:
Didn't find any.
Great job!
Hey, thanks for the detailed feedback!
We had some trouble with the initial level design, where you could often hold the mouse in one place and still be safe because of reappearing lights. I guess there's still some issues we need to sort out.
Never knew we had a rhythm game as well!!! The concept is cool and the first time it's confusing what is happening. After getting the hang of it this is fun as the intensity increases with time.
Wow what a cool game! We also did a rhythm game albeit much more traditional haha. I really love the music and the rhythm mechanics! The mapping was done exceptionally well and I really felt I was playing to the beat.
Thank you so much! I made sure to put extra care in the level, so that it follows the rhythm, but also isn't too hard to follow.
I'll be sure to try your game later!
This game is the best one so far in the jam. Really cool music, fun gameplay, appealing visuals and made with rust btw hahahahahaha
Thank you, glad you like it! I tried to put my all into the music.
I would love for this game to have more content. I would buy it if I got a release. Congratulations!
I think this game is really nice, great job on the visuals, and I like the music a lot! Though it does get repetitive since it only has one song. Notes aside, great job!
Thank you! If we decide to work on this game further I would make more music for it, for sure.
Glad you enjoyed the visuals.
That was a pretty cool experience (though a little easy, maybe). Good job!
Thanks! We did consider having an easy and hard version, but due to time constraints we decided to focus on one polished level rather than 2 crummy ones.
