Such a cute idea! I got a bit scared when I had to replay my terrible recording, but luckily the notes were spaced out. Wonderful!

Very cute game, I loved the voice acting throughout the game and the snail was very cute. I would've liked some guidance when placing notes cause otherwise I just spammed numbers and then screwed myself over later but other than that great job!

Developer

Heheh, yeah, it's kind of a "create your own hell" game, where you can make the game very hard for yourself if you don't know what you're doing, or are thoughtless. I was hoping players would figure out for themselves that they should put some effort into composing a "nice" piece, but maybe Schnailpin should be more direct about advising on how to compose.

Very cute presentation. Voice acting is pretty uncommon in game jams and added a lot of character. (there is a surprisingly large amount of snail-related games going aroung)

Developer

woah, no way, snails have gone mainstream!? I'm glad you liked the voice acting, it's my first time, and I had a lot of fun with it!

So cute! I absolutely loved the intro cutscene with the silly stingers, and the concept is very interesting! 

Developer

yay! the intro was definitely the most fun part to make, especially the stingers! I'm really glad you liked them too.

very nice artstyle i really liked it

Developer

I'm so glad! it started as a pencil sketch in a note book; I gave it a bit of digital refinement, but not too much.

Absolutely love the presentation! This may be the first game I've played on itch with voice acting, made me chuckle.

Developer

thank you, it was a lot of fun to come up with the character and record!

sweet concept!  i feel like listening to the snail beatbox when i messed up my performance was fire enough lol

Developer

yay! the wrong note sounds were fun to record, I'm glad you enjoyed them, even if it incentivized playing wrong notes haha
