Amazing game, and good use of the theme, thematically,  and gameplay wise, in that you have to press keys over and over. I got a lot of combos off of just pressing a certain key many times, and basically kinda ignored if there were too many keys. It would be cool to see a rhythm element introduced, because I could see that happening, with a cue every time the hoop gets to the top. . Art was incredible no notes.

Great feedback! My original intent was to make it heavily rhythm based, but my programming skills fell a bit short, and I couldn't perfectly sync the music with the button presses.  Anyways thanks for playing & I appreciate the kind words!!

I really liked game's music and visual presentation. I struggled a bit with the keys, but still an enjoyable experience!

Developer

Thank you so much! :)

Artstyle and the idea are super charming. I like the concept, but was a bit overwhelmed that it used keys all over the keyboard. I think a more focused control scheme would benefit the game.....or maybe I am just too stupid to use the whole keyboard while playing.

Developer

Thank you! I totally agree, I also kept having to look down to find the right keys. Part of me thought it was fun to play Twister with my fingers... but on the other hand it's not ideal to be forced to look away from the keyboard.
Thanks for the feedback <3

Very cool game enjoyed it very much but one thing I dont know if this is an issue on my end or the games end but it seems the game is not ideally optimized? it made few programs slow down on my pc when it was on, havent had any other game do that yet. could just be an issue on my end but either way cool one.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Mind sharing your computer specs? I still have to learn a lot about optimization, I'll be keeping an eye out for it!

I am too bad at finding keys to be good at this game haha. Very cool game tho, i really liked the artstyle and while the narrative framing is a bit silly its still pretty good. Great job!

Great art style and enjoyable gameplay!! I found it a little bit hard because by the time I recognized the key that I had to press, I already lost a lot of points, but it was fun!

I really liked the intro and narrative framing. I'm still learning touch typing rn, so I had a harder time finding all the keys in time, but still had fun! Good Work!

Submitted(+1)

Art style, and intro narrative was really awesome! I really sucked at this game, but had a good time playing! Well done!

Developer

Thanks so much! You're not the only one, I playtested this for 3 days and I still suck at it B)

This is actually my favorite I've played so far! Love their little facial expressions and the way everything is synced to the music. The button prompts really twisted my brain lol. I didn't get to finish all of the stages yet because it's pretty difficult and I want to try as many games as possible before the voting period ends, but I'm definitely saving this one for later!

Really charming artwork and nice and fun concept! I played with keyboard and the difficulty changed a lot depending on the keys but it was still a lot of fun.

Congrats on finishing the jam!

Developer

HAHAHA, I enjoyed the game, visuals are great and oh my it gets really confusing real fast, when the combinations of the keys you have to press are so random

Thank you!! :) I wanted to make it even more diabolical and add F-keys and print screen & such, but I had to hold myself in

Submitted(+1)

Your art style and the storytelling is completely adorable! Loved how expressive the girl is, and the inspector grinning in the background!

Developer

Thank you!! :)

Submitted(+2)

The keys you have to press are absolutely diabolical. I also loved the intro cutscene.

Developer

Thank you so much!

This is such an awesome game! I love how the main character's expressions change as she hoops the loops. I also think it's funny how the hoops you drop just stay there and pile up on you.

Thank you so much, glad you like it! <3
