Ranked from 86 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
Our game fits the theme in two ways: 1. We went with a retro GameBoy aesthetic to "rewind time." 2. Being a rhythm game, our core gameplay mechanic is to rewind through a track multiple times, allowing the player to try different instruments as the difficulty increases.

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes 99% of the code was written by us during this jam. All art, music, and most sfx were also created by us during the jam from scratch.

Really enjoyed this game, could definitely see it being really successful as a mobile game too, i thought the audio and design of it was really great and would love to see the game developed further

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for playing! We are definitely planning on continuing development after the jam so keep an eye out! We'll also consider making a mobile version of the game.

I absolutely love this game I'm a huge fan of 4 key rhythm games I got a score of 151180 I'd love to see a level editor for this after the jam if that'd be possible there's only a single thing that i'd change and that would be to add custom keybinds because df jk is a little to close on the keyboard for me I personally use qw and 89 on the Numpad 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! We'll be continuing to develop this game after the jam so keep an eye out for that!

I love it, it was an amazing experience to play your game. I love the melody that your team made and how well the theme is putted into this game. The graphic was also amazing. If you will make more songs to this game with different difficulty lever, it would be even better. Well done :)

What a great song! I’m a fan of rhythm games, and this was just perfect! Hopefully you develop it further, I’ll be looking forward to that!

Developer

Thanks for playing! We are definitely looking to develop the game after this jam!

Wow, what a great game, the music, art, mechanics fit the theme perfectly. It was really hard and weird for me to get used to the chosen keys but maybe it was just me. 

Developer

Thank you so much! We actually forgot to add alternate keybindings, so that's on us. We'll definitely update it after the jam

Man, this just felt *cool* to play. Can't say that very often. Retro but not too retro.

Developer

thank you so much! We tried to go over the top with juiciness

Absolutely loved it once I figured out what was going on. I would have like to get a little feedback with each note so I can know whether my timing was perfect, good, okay, bad etc, but not that big of a deal. I love rhythm and retro, so this was everything. Please make more levels!

P. S. I really appreciate the different funkiness settings in the options menu lmao

My Personal High Score: 117165

Thanks so much for playing! We're definitely planning on continuing development after the jam, so keep an eye out for that!

PS. also yeah I really love the funkiness option tool lol

Developer(+1)

thank you so much and we appreciate the feedback! we are definitely gonna add more songs after the jam! Also the highest score I've seen so far was 170k, so try to beat that!

Wow that was an amazing game! Literally couldn't blink and the most streak I got was 2x... The difficult was way too hard for me from the get go but the graphics, music, and mechanic was great! Not being ambidextrous was also a challenge for me personally. It makes me wonder how difficult it actually gets later in the game. At least I got a lot of points to help make me feel less bad if anything. To me, you guys succeeded in getting the GameBoy feel to it right but the game felt more like one of those arcade dance machine lol. Congrats on the jam and great job!

I love the simple color palette and detailed pixel art, very cool! The game is fun once you get in a rhythm and start getting in a streak, but it opens up a bit hard, and got into the double (and triple!?) notes really early on. I think the opening of the song should be slower, with no double notes, and escalate in difficulty over time so players can adjust and find a flow to the rhythm. Solid entry overall though, very nice work!

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for playing our game! I think the idea of the difficulty increasing over time didn't really cross our minds as we wanted to chart this song normally, but we'll definitely consider that in the future!

oh my god, why didn't I try this game out sooner.  I've always liked these types of games on flash sites, this brings back so many memories I love it.

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! Keep an eye out for it after the jam, we're gonna tweak it and make it even better!

Nice, I hope you add more songs too.

This game's cover image got my attention, and the game got me hooked.

I really like rhythm games, I didn't expect a rhythm game to show up in this game jam, but you guys pulled it off amazingly. I'm still trying to get a perfect score :D

Developer

Thanks for playing! I think the highest score I've seen so far is 170k, so beat that! 

Submitted(+1)

Wow, then I'm close, my highest thus far is 169k. I'll try it!

Submitted(+1)

Great game! Im terrible at these games but this one truly caught my eye!

Developer

don't worry, I'm bad at it too! thanks for playing :)

Wow this game is really fun and I like to concept. It would be also cool if we can pause the game or we can back to the main menu but overall the game is really awesome.

Submitted

It would be cool if you try out my game!

Been years since I've played Guitar hero which is one of my all time favorite games to play and this just feels right. The score system really made me want to keep playing and beat my high score every time. I kind of wishhed there were more song selections and difficulty levels but overall, the music style ya'll went for was awesome. Great work and awesome game!

Developer

Hey, thanks for playing our game! Honestly if we had more time we would have put in one more song, but we wanted to polish up our gameplay. Glad to see you enjoy the game!

This game has so much style, i love it. great job.

Developer

thank you so much, we worked really hard getting that part right.

Fun game and cool concept. Usage of different instruments each time did bring out the game. I think adding simple sound effects for the notes declaring if I press correctly or wrong would help.

Developer

Thank you for playing, and we appreciate the feedback!

Super cool game, nice idea, the game runs smoothly but sometimes there are no game feedbracks!

Anyways good job!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! I wish we could have gotten a little more feedback on the button presses but couldn't in time! Will definitely be updated after the jam :)

Submitted(+1)

Like the theme and the graphics are awesome! I missed some kind of feedback when the player press the correct key, or maybe i'm not so good hahahaha Rythm games are though for me

Developer

Thanks for the playing! And don't worry it's not just you, we are lacking that little bit of feedback unfortunately. Definitely will be updated after the jam!
