Interesting idea! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum dare 42 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :)

Fantastic concept for a game! As others have said, it could maybe benefit from some tuning to make it a little easier to work out what to do. But I do love the idea, and I think it has a lot of potential!

Welp, you told me there was a secret room and I was going to go back and find it... but I got stuck.. no secret for me!

hahah!

Developer

omg i am sorry and happy that you went back to try. the room would be further after you made a loop you would do another round and with the activated blocks you would be able to go skip some of the sections. I will try to make it more obvious. OBVIOUSLY major props for going back to find it! dude you are great

It's a great concept, but it quickly drove me crazy...

Hey! I just wanted to let you know that a video of one of my playthrough/reviews is up and you're a part of it!

Thank you so much for playing the game and congrats you made it to the end. I have to say there was only one way. Once you finish it you can discover a secret room (if you activated the right blocks). You definitely pointed out some issues I had on how to get to the end, which wasn't that clear I must say.

Keep it up! Subscribed!

I'll have to look for the secret soon, keep up the good work =D

Well, that was a really neat  concept!

I liked the design overall, I think it would be nicer if the beat thingies were togglable with a button, rather than walking over them, they are kinda hard to control in spots (which is fine but hey, I'm needy).  I was worried about the ending but youknow, it worked out.  I wonder if there were multiple paths at the end? I dunno.

The audio did seem to get out of sync maybe a little when everything was going but overall, I really like the sound choice and it all fit well.


Very cool game!
