This has to be my favorite entry so far. The concept itself is so original and poetic and the whole atmosphere is so peaceful I love it ! The art is good, the music awesome and the gameplay in itself is very intuitive and even pretty fun ! The physics of the melody is a bit hard to control and I did get stuck at some point but for a first unity game, this is really awesome !

Just for the next jam, be careful for a few things about your game page. The name of the downloadable files should match the title of your game and you should tell itch.io that your build is a Windows one. And try making a WebGL export, it'll easily triple the numbers of ratings you'll get!

Oh man, I really liked this one! Gameplay-wise, it was incredibly satisfying timing the jumps in such a way that I would graze the person I want to hit without touching the ceiling/floor near them, so that I could preserve my note for as long as possible and get more people during the strum.

My first attempt was 3 strums 56 echoes. Knowing the mechanics and general placements of the people, I tried again for a better score, and got 2 strums 33 echoes :)

The only feedback I have is general QoL stuff, like a main menu, the ability to pause/quit the game, and maybe a slider for the overall volume of the game. Though, given that you're so new to game design, I'd imagine you had a lot of other concerns on your plate, haha.

Very cute and enjoyable! I love the concept it's a very creative take on the "echoes" theme.

If I were to make a recommendation I would definitely say that spacebar being used for both the core game mechanic and menu navigation is quite troublesome as the first time I beat the game I accidentally clicked straight past the end screen. Making these two separate buttons or placing a short timer before the player can click away from the screen would avoid that  issue.

Otherwise it was a very relaxing game and I had a lot of fun with it! 

This was actually so fun and pretty creative. I like that the volume lowers after bouncing off of a wall and that once someone hears your song they will go listen to you at the bench. As an added bonus too I happened to get the last person I needed right as the song was ending for the first time so it ended really nicely
