How does your game fit the theme?
Music makes people feel out of control. In the game the enemies are controlled by music. You play as a pianist, when you play music, the enemies change to attack other enemies instead of your own, your music makes them lose control over themselves.

It was easier to just avoid enemies than to use music on them. The concept was cool though.

Yeah I know... I feel like the level design could've helped. But the idea was actually too ad more music and therefore more types of enemies. Maybe one that charges up and dashes at you quickly, and then you could use the follower ones as shields or something. I don't know. But definetely good advice! It's something I would need to work on.

I'm glad you liked my take on the theme. Wasn't too sure if it fit when I started, but in the end I too was quite happy with it.

Thanks for leaving a comment!

I'm happy you enjoyed it Matteo. I was hopping to add a few more songs, but didn't quite manage to do so.  Thanks for leaving a comment!

The creative take on the concept is astonishing! However I wish the impact-fullness of your actions was more apparent. The art is nice on thematic. Good job!

Thanks for your comment tarrcolt. I wanted to add more to the choices than just the song at the end. Add some story line to the game, that would the explain there being a song at the end, but I didn't have the time. But yeah I agree it would be nice to have more impact, I'll keep that in mind for the future|


I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
