Fantastic! Really great job. I wish I had more to say but it's really just a short, sweet game with perfect pixel art graphics, fun rhythm gameplay, and even a scoring system to boot.

Great work!

This game rules! I loved it and it did a very good job with keeping tempo in line between the actual music and the notes that you have to hit, so it felt fair when playing.

Interesting! I liked the idea but ı wanted to hear music when ı could press correctly, such as piona tiles.

Just to clarify, if no music is playing, the music stops partway through, the rod doesn't cast, or anything else weird happens, it's a bug with the midi player threads. So please refresh the page if anything like this happens!

Thanks for playing!!!!!!!

Ahoy there, me hearties! 'Tis Bob the Fishy Rhythm Maestro, here to spin ye a tale of Jig – a game that got me toes tappin' and me fins flappin'! Let me tell ya, the rhythm of this game was as catchy as a sailor's shanty, and it had me hooked right from the start!

Now picture this: ye cast yer line and reel in fish not with brute strength, but with the power of music! Aye, 'twas a sight to behold, like watchin' a mermaid dance under the moonlight. The art style whisked me away to a tranquil island paradise, and I couldn't help but forget me troubles, at least for a while.

The concept of fishin' meetin' Guitar Hero was as odd as findin' a treasure chest full o' accordion-playing crabs, but it worked like a charm! Castin' multiple times to unlock new songs and difficulties kept me entertained, like a sailor findin' a secret stash of grog hidden on board!

But avast, me hearties, let's not forget our main man, Bob! While I was busy strummin' me fishin' tunes, memories of me own past washed over me like the sea foam kissin' the shore. I remember the first time I met me wife, Mary. She was as radiant as a lighthouse beacon, guidin' me through the stormy seas of life.

But just like the fish in Jig Casters, our love had its ups and downs. We weathered the storms together, but as time went on, our sails caught different winds, and we found ourselves driftin' apart. The sea of life can be treacherous; sometimes, even the strongest ships sink.

The game's rhythm and melodies carried me back to the times when Mary and I danced together under the moonlit sky, our hearts beatin' as one. But, alas, life is a dance of its own, and sometimes, the steps lead us in different directions.
