a rhythm game where you have to press notes to build cute houses is the coolest idea ever. I did have some issues, like the “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” level not working, and a very, very specific one where the “ [ “ , “ ] “ and “ = “ keys didn’t work for me because my keyboard has a different layout based on my language (changing the keyboard layout to English still doesn’t fix the “=” key)
Thanks so much for playing! I'll probably fix the song issue and add options for keyboard mapping in a future update!
Wow I love this :D Taking the theme to mean musical scale and having a guy build along is so creative :) For me the art style is also very nostaglic and comforting. Amazing work!
Thank you so much for playing!
yo this is really cool!! some of the levels were def pretty tough lol (68% on the wellerman,,, welp). the scope of the project is insane you have so many songs up here for 96 hours. My bit of critique is that the notes spawn too low, and are kind of tough to react to. maybe have them spawn higher up so you can react better?
Thanks so much for playing! I definitely wanted to make the game a bit easier but didn't get the time. I'll probably update after the jam with more songs and better difficulty progression though.
cool piano simulation game!
Thanks for playing!
This is really hard for me lol. But i enjoy the difficulty! Thanks for making this!
Thanks so much for playing! I'll probably lower the difficulty after the jam voting ends but feedback like this is super helpful!
Just that I'm really bad in instruments lol. or maybe a keyboard keyborad is not the best way? let me think...maybe not in the keys of one row. Instead use keys like qweasd uiojkl ?
Awesome art style and color palette! Really creative take on the theme! Awesome job!
Thanks for playing!
I like this
Thanks!
I like this
Fun idea!
At first I didn't understand the Level Selector, haha! It was too dark and it lack contrast, but good job
Thanks for playing! I hadn't customized the levels selector from Godot UI defaults but maybe that means I should lol.
This game made me learn I suck at music related things. Neat idea, however!
Thanks so much for playing!
IM KIND OF BAD AT PLAYING MUSIC BUT,,,, I LIKE TO HIT THINGS WITH A HAMMER SO ITS AWESOME
Thank you! The hammer is actually the pixel art asset I'm most proud of :P
You took the "scale" theme in a cool direction! The controls are quite hard, but the game is fun once you get the hang of it. The dialogue is pretty funny. Had a nice time playing this!
Thanks so much for playing! I'll try to make the difficulty progression easier in a future update!
Pretty neat seeing a rhythm game in a jam, just too bad I'm not very good at them lol. Kudos
Thanks so much for playing! I really admire your games/art style so it was cool to see your submission as well!
So I like the concept, and I'm being nitpicky even though it's a jam game, but... the notes played on the keyboard had very little (other than kinda rhythm) to do with the melody being played, and then not to mention the keys made a sound for the key being played, but that was played underneath the synth beep melody, which almost all the time was a completely different note which created this dissonant clash whilst I played, which was highly distracting haha. Overall, I couldn't find a way to ignore the weird note clashes, but playing piano keyboard for a rhythm game is a fun idea!
Thanks for playing/leaving feedback! Unfortuately the sync issues between the music and note blocks was an issue I was only able to resolve after the jam deadline but something I definitely will push a fix for after voting ends.
Ah damn! That's such a shame :c I'm glad you've got a fix ready though!
I did not do very well at all, but I had fun! Nice idea, felt really unique.
Thanks for playing/leaving feedback! I'll try to make the game a bit easier (especially in the beginning) after the jam concludes
