I got a score of 7125, which I have no idea if is good but can't imagine I'd be able to beat that without some more practise. I had an issue that the screen didn't actually fit my resolution, so had to zoom out then restart and realised i'd missed which buttons did which. I really liked the idea, but wish the notes had tied better to the music as I struggled to not try to play on beat. Really cool and addictive game though!

Very nice interpretation of the theme and the gameplay looks well orchestrated (pun intended xD)! As for the things that can be improved, the visual feedback of the successful/unsuccessful timing could be a little bit more enhanced, so I can notice it even if my vision is focused on the upcoming "obstacles".

Running thoughts

  • It would be nice if there were a small area to practice and ensure my fingers are in the right place. Failed a few easy ones at the beginning because my fingers were off by one key.
  • The jump in speeds can be slightly annoying as it doesn't feel smooth. It feels like we are going at one pace, then suddenly 1.5 times that speed.
  • Very good contrast of the messes; however, the water marks on the glass building make it very hard to read at higher speeds

Very polished game overall. The final score was 9080. Other than my comments in my running thoughts, I could find many things wrong with it. It seems like the first mess pauses right before it needs to get cleaned. This might have been a design idea. It's good, except where it stops makes me feel off like it should be pressed right at that point to be perfect, but that doesn't seem to hold. I think it would be better to have it pause at the perfect point, then the player would know where to line themselves up, since there isn't a clear indication, such as in the Guitar Hero games.

I would have never thought of this kind of rhythm game with towers lol, it kind of make sense since ur going up from bottom to the top!
Pretty Fun!

Other than the trick of my thinking that this is a rhythm game, this is an excellent game. I love how it speeds up, the way it flashes the directions for a couple of seconds, and even just the rhythm aspect (holds, perfect, great, good), and even the fact that I attempted to even get this to work like it was some piano tiles. 

Other than those two, the music rocks, though the sfx could be repetitive, the art is SICK (Please teach me your ways), and everything else wraps up nicely.

Hoping to see this be a top 5, top 3 even!

Really fun and quite difficult! I got 13-14k score, the tools took a while to get used to, especially the dirt and water squeaks, I think they were similar in my mind so I kept messing those two up - the leaf blower was perfect, distinct sound effect and visually very different. Would be even more satisfying if the music lined up with the "beats" more and if there was a subtle distinct sound for the different scores for better timing (I was thinking similar to osu's 300/100). Perhaps a combo system too, that always adds a lot of tension to not "break" the rhythm. Great work!

Really fun, I love rhythm games this is right up my alley. I like the mechanic of having to use different tools it adds some nice complexity to the game. I love how fast it starts getting, reminds me of piano tiles which I like a lot. Great work!

Pretty cool rhythm game. Interesting that you need to move to the correct lane and clean with the correct tool.

first rhythm game i see in the jam and one of the most fun games in it! the art is INCREDIBLE wowie! and the gameplay is pretty smooth as well. great job!!

Submitted

Cool interpretation of the theme, some decent sound design, and good execution of a simple concept. Good game!

It is an integration of a topic that I would never think of, and it is entertaining although a bit tedious to have to keep switching tools.

Cool game and idea

Submitted

amazing.

Pretty fun. It's simple but it works very well. The art looks nice and the music was pretty cool too. The gameplay definitely became challenging after a little which I liked but sometimes there would be two different things to clean that spawned on top of each other so it would be impossible to hit both. Good job anyways!

Fun game. Easy to learn and hard to master. Music and visuals are very nice. Would be nice if help would stay on the screen. Also timing of the long stains is really unforgiving. And sometimes it does not register hits.

Pretty fun, does need some getting used to the controls
