How does your game fit the theme?
Time is power- time your button presses to advance throughout this rhythm based game

Alternate reality- There are different endings- there's a depiction of your dream while you play the rhythm game. There are also different endings depending on how well you preform in the levels, presenting you with alternate realities you can foreshadow in the dream visuals during gameplay.

Cool rhythm gameplay concept 😊! 

GAMEPLAY
With my lack of rhythm it was not an easy game. The second level the notes were flying down on me 😉. I did like this concept for the jam. And the controls were easy, but I did tangle my fingers sometimes. Maybe the first levels could be a bit more easy to flow into the game. Fun to try though.

GRAPHICS/ART 
Good (own made?) graphics. Some nice VFX. Buttons nice but different style.

AUDIO   
As it should be for this kind of game the audio was very neat! Lovely tracks and effects.

THEME
Checked the theme and mechanic. Maybe slightly but it is ok

Overall a joyful unique game jam experience. Keep up the good work 💪!

Great game! I had a blast with this game, of course I love the Rock Band/Guitar Hero games. Only thing I think would have been nice would be to have an audio mechanic for missed timing. Other than the score, missing or making a beat on time seemed to have no actual audio effect. Great job!

Great short game, loved the musics together with the animation, the timing of the notes was perfect.
My only critique is to change the buttons to fit the rest of the game artstyle.
Anyways, beautiful entry!

(I got goosebumps when the skeleton thing first showed up)

Wow, insanely good! I really really liked the simple gameplay! The art was super well done! The audio was spot on. The theme and mechanic worked.  Idk what else to even say... other than, truly fantastically solid entry! Overall, amazing work & Keep It Up!

Some super minor critiques... (1) C & M are a little awkward, but I definitely see why you chose them. I would have done F & J instead, or multiple options. (2) It seemed a little unforgiving at times. (3) It may have been nice to have some feedback on how one is doing. I saw the % but did not fully understand what it meant. 

But honestly, the critiques are Super Minor -- I just had to find some way to make a longer comment. :)

Fun and good music. I like how the commands to start the game is a subtle tutorial, but I would suggest adding the keys into the description too since I forgot everything but the space bar by the time the game started. On a final note, for some reason on my first playthrough, it was not even registering the spacebar and I had 0% by the end, though that could have been me since my next playthroughs were fine.

Really liked it! The casual gameplay with the story really love it!

The game was really good!! I really liked the theme when the void skeleton shows! my only complaint would be the graphics of the instruments themselves (C + Space + M), They didn't match the art but the game was phenomenal!

felt like the margin of error was very small but I also suck at these kinds of game. Loved the sound, Great job overal

The game was great! The only thing that I wish was there is a way to adjust the volume, as the game can get quite loud sometimes.
