How does your game fit the theme?
A Knight's Rest takes place during an adventuring party's final rest, before they face the final boss of their adventure.
In this calm moment, you (as the bard) are tasked with inspiring your party with music.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Game uses a custom game engine I wrote in C. Uses libraries for window creation (GLFW/GLAD), text rendering and audio.
Most art was created by me however I also used some assets (credited on page and here)

Really awesome job on this, it's very impressive that it's created in a custom engine too. I love rhythm games so I had to check this out! I really enjoyed playing it, but the shift mechanic to raise the pitch of notes felt super hard to execute. Only the left shift worked for me, so doing raised notes on ASD was pretty tough I would've liked to be able to hold the right shift instead in certain scenarios. I think I would've liked having shift to raise the pitch be a toggle instead of having to hold it too. Overall tho I really enjoyed this game, I liked the songs and it was really fun to play. Great work!
Really impressed with the engine and well executed, I'm just really bad at rhythm games :P
I had aspirations of making a rhythm game prior to this jam, so I'm always super pumped to play others' rhythm games. This was a great time. Cool music, solid rhythm mechanics. Great work! Congrats and good luck!!
Custom engine gigachad! I love the preloaded music and the pixel art, looking forward to learning from your engine!
This is cool, really enjoyed it.
Pretty cool rhythm game! Pressing the keys vertically is a little strange on keyboard but still cool regardless.
