quite fun to play, i like the restriction on which elements you can use in a given loop so you kind of adjust the song you're making based on whatever is available to you at that point. i don't think a loop limit is the best way to go about it though, at least not so short -- the expert difficulty ends after like 20 seconds with no way to listen to what you made afterwards. could see this becoming a cool game if you add some stuff like rules such as "next loop you must place something on G" or something like that :) nice idea though!

Fishious CycleThank you, great suggestions.
One idea I had that I really wished I had enough time to implement was to create some future autoplaced notes that you can't remove. Like, at this place there will be a piano note in 3 loops, then you have to adjust what you're doing in order for that note to make sense in the run.
There were other ideas as well, like regions where you could not put some instruments or regions that you get bonus points if you placed certain instrument...
But unfortunately I didn't have time to do all of that.
took me a while to get the hang of it but cool game. although idea of music as the loop is a popular one, I think your idea of making the music and in the way it is done is highly creative. although not big into music (and so can't really give you good feedback on it)it was quite enjoyable short game

illusion of choiceThanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Yeah rhythm games are popular and I thought it this idea would fit perfect the jam theme.
The thing is that of the "game" similar to one are less gamy and more sandbox, if not actual tools (like Bosca Ceoil).
I tried to introduce some mechanics (finished only one) to make it feel more like a game.
Thank you for playing!
I don't know if you read the description, but the Score at the end is fake at the moment.
Sorry if you felt lied to, I'm sure you did great at the game HAHA
I was in fact developing some score criteria like those ones, but I was running out of time so I focused on solving bugs and improving the core game experience and accepted the mocked score. I'll reiterate in the description to make it more clear.
