I don't know if I played it well but I had really fun mixing music!

I liked the idea (especially because in most rhythm games you follow the music, not the other way around). I just wish there was some limitations on the buttons I can play (like, for example, I only can use two or three each time), because I'd eventually just press everything and the character basically became immortal. I'd also recommend giving more time or some sort of preparation before the fights (or maybe a velocity button), because everything went so fast I'd barely keep up with some of the actions. However, I can see the game expanding into a fully fleshed thing, so I hope you keep working on it after the jam. Nice entry :)

Really love music ideas! Liked the game, had fun playing. I did figure out I could just keep spamming the buttons to get infinite stats. I like your roadmap, would be interesting to see some future features!

Interesting concept! And hilarious take on the theme too! Some more expansion on the game would be interesting in the future.

The game would be improved by having a cooldown on the music pieces or having a limit on the maximum number simultaneous songs. Right now it appears to be possible to simply turn on all of the music at the same time thus creating a superhero character.

Yes, I wanted to implement this but did not manage my time well during the jam unfortunately. :( Thank you for the feedback, I might update the game with this later.

A really neat idea! The idea kinda reminds me of the drummers and flutists who would march into war with the soldiers to pump them up.

In it's currently implantation, I see no reason why I can't simply have all of the music options active at the same time, which sort of defeats the gameplay portion of it. But I like that you listed all the ideas you had if there were more time to implement them - that's the whole beauty of game jams in my opinion. I think you have a really neat and unique idea here with a lot of potential for growth. Great work :)

Thank you! I may have lost myself in polishing toward the end of the game jam and should have focused of implementing all the gameplay... ^^' I might implement this after the jam rating ends. :)
