Good work and a little polish on the playing instrument would be a nice touch. That's a good one for one week project.

A fresh and unique take on the rhythm game genre! This is the first time I've seen a rhythm set in the medieval era, the gameplay is simple, it's a rhythm game, your press the beat on time, except in this game, the beats are letters to a song.

I love the small detail of the audience throwing you stuff if you get a wrong note, it really adds to the overall charm of the game!

Overall amazing work!

Very cool and fun! Great job!

The design is great. 
I think I couldn't hit even one letter correct, maybe it would be great to indicate whether the letter is right or not?

Great work overall!

I love the idea of xoupling gameplay and music!

First playthrough I was super confused and thought the letters were just coming at random but then I realized that I was actually typing a sentence. I enjoyed it once I got it and especially once I realized the beat the letters were moving over the guitar to. However this is also where I think you could indicate a bit clearer when the letter needs to be pressed, either visually or audibly (or both even).

The music was nice and of really good sound quality but it feels more like background music to me. Maybe the music itself could be a bit more exciting, like the title screen music which I really loved! 

Overall, a really good game which, given more development time, I think could be really enjoyable:)

Very charming game!
I like both typing and rythm games, so this was right up my alley!
My only wish is if there was a little bit of a rythm representation in the songs, so that you would have to type along with some a little more complex rythm structures. But still as it is, it was very fun.
And I really liked how the 3D environment was laid out, looks very theme appropriate.

Fun game, I loved the dumplings, they were so angry at me

Looks good, the first song was too easy. The slow tempo is not fun for someone that plays rhythm game so much.

I really enjoyed it! A fun and polished game with gorgeus visuals. The last song, sadly, was brutal for my tiny brain.

Loved the concept!I think everything fit together nicely, and I like how when you mess up everyone immediately starts throwing stuff at you haha.

It's unfortunate that the game was chugging a bit on my browser, but it was still very much playable, I also realised that if you spam mistakes the objects that spawn from the crowd throwing stuff at you can very quickly cause the game to slow to a crawl. Other than that, really solid attempt at something innovative!
