The visuals were really nice, but I wasn't sure what I was doing, I figured some of it out as I went but some other things are still unclear to me. The concept is lovely though, I feel like it wouldn't be too difficult to fix some of the UX issues

Thanks for playing! Yeah, I agree that tutorialization or just explanation wasn't great in this experience, and I'd still like to go back to it and make those better.

I was expecting to really enjoy this based on the comments but I don't get what to do, no animals visited the stage and pressing on things did nothing other than show the buttons as lit or not. maybe it's a me issue. amazing concept, visuals AND soundtrack though..

Thanks for trying and thanks for the feedback. I do feel like we didn’t do a great job at explaining the mechanics, but the audience has suggestions that get completed when you activate certain button/equipment and currently there are only 3 audience suggestions implemented.

  • red button for lightshow/pyrotechnics
  • blue square for the synth on the left. Need to push button then manually rotate past the 50% mark.
  • blue dial for the riser/drop on the right, need to push the bar to the end then hit the drop button.

I gave fireworks ðŸŽ‡ and lot of spots ðŸ”¦ to the audience but only the lonely owl ðŸ¦‰ wanted to stay on my concert. The 5th metal song with guitar solo 🎸🎸🎸 is still my favorite. It is AWESOME !   I am hearing it all day. ðŸ•ºðŸ•ºðŸ•º Is this sick ?!?! ðŸ¤ªðŸ¤ªðŸ¤ª

thank you so much! I should really release the song as a normal song as well

Great concept, soundtrack, and visuals. I wish there were more sounds to manipulate, and things to do on stage, because the foundation is solid. In my second playthrough nobody ever came to my show, but I was also messing around more that time. Nice work!

Fun little concert simulator with a bangin' soundtrack! Nice work!
