Did you work in a team?
Elliot (pawprints): programming and art
Michael (MRKL): music and sound effects
Was the resolution a challenge?
Elliot: Fitting all of the action in the background while keeping the notes legible and a smooth experience was quite challenging. I also had to take care to avoid sub pixels by rounding all texture coordinates to integers.
What did you learn?
Elliot: I learned how to make a music game (and how difficult it is!) while being more ambitious with my art and animation.
Michael: I learned more about blending chiptune instruments with acoustic instruments.

This game is AWESOME!
Love rhythm games, and this was great! I like how your playing affects the music :)
Well, I don’t play a lot of rythm games, but the mechanics were very unique ! 2nd level was insane ! Pretty good game .
This was pretty fun, a unique lil concept!
So good. I really, really hope you keep working on this! The music, and how you made a fun rhythm game with various challenges in such a small space, is really well done. This is definitely in the top 20 submission for me.
nice, pretty cool game, finished both tracks. i had some trouble with diagonals at first, holding two arrow keys and pushing spacebar didn't seem to register, but then found only needed to put one direction of the diagonal. really enjoyed playing, nice style to the game.
About as hard as I remember Gitaroo Man being....
Super fun and enjoyable. Great art and style.
What is this a remake of?
Anyway, what an awesome game! The sprites are adorable. The music worked perfect. I've played a lot of rhythm games where you can't tell what groove you should be following, that was not an issue with Chiptari Woman at all. My one complaint is I thought it was too easy, but it's a game jam; I figure you'd have different difficulties if there had been time. 5/5/5/5
Thanks for the kind words! It’s a remake of Gitaroo Man, which was on PS2 and PSP but is hard to get hold of (legally) these days. You’re the first person to describe the game as too easy, must be a seasoned music game player 😂
yesssssssss… nothing bad to say about this. Great rhythm game.
😄
So good. I suck at rhythm games, but I picked this game up really easily. I want more. More of this music, more of this game. You both really nailed this.
Thank you ☺️ Who knows, anything could happen...
Oh ! I loose, I loose, I loose all the time but I keep playing ! It's great an all account ! Fantastic game !
Haha! Thank you!!

Very fun, couldn't win haha. Everything was very solid and clear to understand. Well done! What sorts of challenges did you face when making a rhythm game btw? Always wanted to give it a shot
Oh man what a great question! I could write an entire blog post on it. Maybe I will.
My biggest learnings were:
this was a blast and i was bummed when it was over
I have a pretty robust engine built now so... who knows, maybe there will be more in the future!
Fun and surprisingly difficult!
Thanks for playing! Were you able to beat track 2? I would have adjusted the difficulty but I ran out of time 😅
Very neat idea, very original, great concept. I found the game a little difficult to get a grasp of and am still very confused about what to do when just little blips with no line come at you? mashing space cycled through "miss, good, great" when that would happen which im not sure if that was intended or not.
Hi pixel_trash, when the notes without lines come at you in the “defend” phase, you have to press the corresponding arrow keys! See the gif below.
There is also a bug where some red notes will appear before their lines come in, that might be what you’re referring to?
Hope that helps!
Love the music. The first level was fair and a great introduction to the mechanics. I failed a few times because I tend to jump into things without knowing what I'm doing, but after I scrolled down and read the information, I was rockin! Good work!
I’m glad you got it! I was worried the game would be too tricky to pick up without a tutorial. Worth spending the extra time on those gifs 🙏
This was awesome! Great work
thank you!
