The artstyle carries the whole game no doubt. The main mechanic is an interesting twist on the rhythm game usual antics. Loved the concept and execution. Great work! And best of luck on the game!

Overall the entire thing is solid. I love the art and music and as someone who does not like music games this was a fun twist. The idea of having breathing was very clever and added a nice spin to something familiar. I think this could be polished up and sold. Plenty of people love these games and I can see the unique style being a big draw.
Verry silly game! I'm pretty bad at Guitar Hero-type games so I didn't get that far but the game really oozes with style.
incredible game. the font was a bit hard to read, but i absolutely love the art and story.
i love the take on the theme, and the game feels incredibly satisfying to play, my only issue is that you have to wait through the start every time you want to retry, but other than that, the gameplay is just super fun, i found myself just starting over again multiple times to get a better score
definitely one of my favorite ones in the jam, great work!!
Love the rhythm battle style and I think with a bit of polishing this could be really great! Think it could work well on touchscreen too - Great work!
Defo one of my fav entries style wise
Interesting game with a very charming art style! I think your take on the theme was unique and it added an extra layer of difficulty to the gameplay. I enjoyed the game even though the controls weren't my favorite configuration.
The font was really difficult to read, so I didn't read much. The gameplay was a bit confusing but I do like the concept! I like the menu and artstyle!
100 for creativity, suuuuper cool!, from artstyle and everything it feels diffrent in a good way good job!!
This game is a lot of fun, I love the photo-realistic art style, the constant need to breathe gives it an extra charm. Auto breathing disabled, good luck.
What can I say what I already haven't told you already?
I like this game very much.
The ASD for the notes still feels a bit off, but I can live with that.
The music and sounds are great.
I love the visuals. Very unique. (Just tone back the shaders and effect a bit)
Would play HarmonicBounds 2 - Photovoltaic Bogaloo
Very cool! Great sound and music. The controls took some getting used to - notes aligned vertically but the keys are horizontal.
I had a lot of fun playing this game, nice job! i think the notes take to much air, so you have to be pressing space all the time (it happens something similar in my game hehe). The music is amazing by the way
