This game was not designed to use any accessibility features and is not advertised as doing. I am however planning on making something similar and fully accessible for next months "Game Jam for blind gamers 3"

Hello! This is my bad too. When organizing the jam, I asked folks in all of my communities if they would like to participate. As much as I would prefer for all software to have a minimum baseline of accessibility, I felt that it would be unfair to require it from everyone who participated. Instead it was just a recommendation. I’m sorry that not everything is accessible to you, especially if I misled you to believe so. If this jam were to occur again, then I would like to be a better advocate of accessibility beyond a bullet point on the jam page. That might mean an additional rating category for accessibility, and tips to score better. Thank you so much for trying these out and sharing your frustration with us.

I had so much fun with this one! I didn't expect to be able to do this much and the UI is intuitive. Great job!

Well this brings me back to the nostalgic times. This is well executed and has an easy to use interface. The aesthetic is so cool and the sounds are brilliant and really resonate with the 90’s. Keep up the good work Perfect C Games! Rooting for you every step of the way! 

Love it. easy and simple to use and has some great sounds. Got a big wave of nostalgia from some of the sounds especially the noise category! Great work

Thanks for sharing your progress and considering my feedback on Discord. This is deeply nostalgic and flawlessly executed with a ton of cool retro sounds. I enjoyed messing with this one at high speeds. I wish I could preview the notes by clicking them in the menu. Nice work!

Thank so much for this, probably the best feedback I've ever had.  honestly my code for this is horrendous I started with no plan and it got worse from there. For now I've added an option to right click while dragging a sound and ditched the preview box but there likely wont be anymore updates to this version.

Really nice update! The sound menu and numbers are super helpful for choosing and moving sounds around. The only bug I found is that when I would right-click to preview sounds, they would get picked up and stack beneath the cursor

I tried performing a song with it for about 15 minutes. It was really fun! This time around I maybe expected it to also delete sounds if I drag them off the track or put another sound on top to replace them. But I was also working with just the mouse at over 9000 BPM, muting single sounds for a half second by clicking them, etc. So I’m not so sure if you really need to adjust anything if that’s not the sort of behavior you’re looking for.

Anyway, that’s just how jams go. In the last jam we were in together, I think my codebase was pretty organized, but this one got pretty messy by the end, likely because there was no plan here either!

thanks for revisiting and as always the helpful feedback. If you had fun playing then everything is working as intended.

Nice, loving the lofi vibe and the old windows aesthetic.

This is a beauty, and I'm definitely gonna see what I can make with this!

Thanks so much. I've just made an update so you can save a screenshot to see what notes you used for future reference as well.

Fantastic! First of all, my compliments for the choice of sounds, then for the range of sounds and the simple selection interface with drop down menus to save space, great idea, and something I'd like to try.  

nice
