This is fun! I liked getting to add multiple power ups. They also helped teach me about the enemies.
Very cute game. Artwork really sells the basic concept. At the moment the different upgrades feel a bit unbalanced. Some are ultra powerful, others feel a bit useless....but it is a lot of fun. Could easily be turned into a full fledged game.
Ah I loved this one! Such a great idea for a game...
My only feedback would be that I would love to be able to hear how the new instrument I'm selecting is going to sound before I place it. I found myself way more into trying to create a groove than optimising the positions for damage
I'm also a big fan of the choose 1-of-3 things games! We created a deckbuilder, so would love your feedback if you want to give it a try
Love the artstyle and animations!
Really cool concept and idea for a roguelike where your abilities are formatted like this!
Looks like a lot of work! Good stuff!
Really cool entry. I got a bunch of legendaries which took up most of the space early on and pretty much became OP instantly waltzing through things. I couldn't figure out how to remove old placements though so my placement area was full and I couldn't progress without picking an instrument, but I had no space. But very nice concept, really enjoyed it.
Great gameplay and gorgeous art ! I loved the interactions with the music during fight x)
Love it, its only frustrating that you can only really shoot in two directions. Otherwise great concept and fun to play :)
Thanks for playing! It depends on the instruments you get. You can end up shooting in all directions 😄 and more
Ah so a skill issue on my end, I’ll have to play again then :)
Great idea, love the graphics too, maybe the sprites are a bit too big, makes it hard to dodge enemy projectiles
Really cool concept ! Art is amazing even if i wished they were some more stretch and squatch to give a more bouncy feelings to players enemies and bullets/effects.
I wish they were a preview when you place an instrument though but the game is nice !
I really enjoyed this game! I loved to add new intruments to my loop to see their effect.
New instruments didn't feel really meaningful as the starting drum beat was already really powerful. It had a nice range, rate and 1 shoted ennemies. So it felt really powerful compared to others instruments. But I'm sure if I played a bit more I would have felt the same for other instruments. Well done anyway!!
Brilliant game! I fear the best strategy may not involve making a pleasant sound song haha..
Best game of the jam so far! Super smart mechanic, having your powerups create a unique song each run was super cool! If you can you should definitely keep working on this after the jam!
It's very funny
Great idea and art but could use some better balance. Dodging this many enemies in a room this small is really overwhelming, at least at the beggining.
Really Cool Concept. Never seen this before. Amazing Work!
Very nice graphics and sound! It had a nice pace to getting the upgrades as well. Overall a very good experience, one of the better games I played this jam!
A few notes:
- Rare instruments could have been even rarer
- It would be nice to be able to remove instruments from the track
- Loved that the enemies were the same instruments that the player used
Thanks for playing! Absolutely agree on the notes. Definitely only did some _light_ balancing on the game. Removing from the timeline was on the list but didn't quite make it in.
this is great! art is incredible, and i love using a note grid as a way to sequence attacks. thought it was neat that the enemies embodied their effects as items (really sold me on the pan flute after i had to fight one haha)
Cool Game, Super unique concept. love the visuals.
Creative game and the visuals are cool and consistent but the bass is out of tune , it's kinda annoying !
Awesome game, the idea of adding instruments to your partition is really original ! and the music is well made , i enjoyed it. Couldn't continue playing after all the slots were filled but overall a nice vibe, with a bit of polish and Qol I can definitely buy this as a full game. Great job !
