Nice rythm game! The stage selection is also impressive! It must be hard designing the pattern for all those songs. The only thing I'd wish was added was a simple sfx when hitting the buttons like drum snares or even a simple beep. 

Developer

Thank you very much! I appreciate your feedback! The way I designed the levels was to calculate the BPM of the song playing and then have the notes spawn in Bars to match the BPM, that way no 2 plays will be the same and it made it much simpler to incorporate multiple songs quickly. I plan on seeing if I can make it so players can play to thier own MP3s. Your suggestion is very good too! I struggled with many methods to give the player feedback,  but never tried this and I am curious on how good it would work. Thanks again!

This was lots of fun, and I also appreciated the amount of thought that when into the trading system etc - well done!

Developer

Thank you very much! I really appreciate that! I tried my best with the time given, but initial plan was to forge gadgets and stuff with the parts you collected and you could level up and keep upgrading, but it was too much to chew, but definitely want to add some things or maybe make it so you could load any mp3 in and play.

Very cool idea. I literally was talking to my team earlier after the deadline about how it would have been a cool idea to make a rhythm game about forging. Kudos to you for actually creating it.

Developer

Thank you very much, it was definitely a struggle to code what I did by myself in the time given. There were so many more features and ideas I had, but I can only do so much with limited time. Appreciate the feedback!

A good effort at a difficult genre to nail.  Sometimes felt like the timing on button presses was unrelated to the beat of the track. The half dozen tracks I played were catchy, but I wanted more feedback (positive and negative) directly related to what I was doing.  Well done!

Developer

Thank you very much for the feedback! The timing was different in the browser than in the editor, so I had to make some adjustments so that it was playable to everyone without adding a syncing system between the game and the player's speakers of choice. I did add no press feedback but placed it on the right side of the screen. I was working on a popup above each machine, but couldn't implement it due to time restrictions.
