fantastic game, art design and animation looks great. music was also really good.
id say this was close to perfect, some sfx for when hitting notes would have been great. but overall this is a very impressive entry.
Thank you so much! Some sfx would've definitely brought it up to the next level!
Great take on the rhythm game genre! It's like an acrobatic music game with nice animations.
Also apparently I'm not the only one with a Synthwave style game but a very different one.
Thank you so much! I love the synthwave style LOL glad to see someone else appreciate it!
This is fun! I like the graphics, they are simple yet super nice / cool.
Also the game play works pretty well. It took me a few plays to understand what I needed to do, top get the little guy to behave as I wanted, but then it all clicked.
Looking forward to updates!
Thank you so much! It definitely would've benefitted from a proper tutorial but I'm glad you were able to play it!
Little guy had me kicking my feet fr, he's so rad B)
Everything felt super smooth, and the animations were so fun to watch, especially with how nicely everything synced to the beat. Only downside is that it’s over too quick! Definitely want more of this.
Thank you so much!! I'm glad you like the dude LOL I had so much fun with his animations! I definitely wish I had more time to make it longer but I'm glad you enjoyed it still!! :)
Awesome – not just 1-bit, but also 1-button! Great game that also looks fantastic.
Thank you so much! I really wanted it to be as simple as possible so you can appreciate the goofy animations LOL
This game makes me want to play muse dash again XD
really good execution and fun gameplay XD
Thank you so much! I've never heard of it but after looking it up it looks super cool!
One of my favourites so far, I really love the idea and game plays so well, The visuals are so good and work perfectly with the game, I think a little feedback when I hit the notes would have been the cherry on top but other than that just slight tweaks and polish here & there, and this game will be perfect!
Thank you so much for the feedback!! Some feedback/sfx for the hits would've definitely taken it to the next level!
Just wow love everything about this game the animations ,game feel and the idea.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Really nice -- somewhat frustrating when you miss a jump and have to watch all the notes fly above your head, but I loved the rails
Thank you for playing! Definitely considered some kind of way to save yourself but couldn't due to time. I'll definitely consider something like that in the future!
The game is so fun to play. The movements and animations are so smooth. I LOVE THE GAME. hope you put out a mobile version
Thank you so much!! It is technically playable on itch on mobile right now but kinda freaks out during the holding parts LOL. If I ever expand it and add more songs I might have to put it on the app store!
This is awesome. Like really awesome. Most of the rhythmic on this jam are either out of sync or not playable. Your game is not only playable - it is hella fun! I personally really wish there was some sound when you hit the notes. Despite that - everything is perfect. You've done an outstanding job!
Thank you so much! I'm glad it was in sync and I totally know what you mean lol! I definitely thought about adding a sound when you get a hit and in the future I'll keep it in mind!
the feedback feels so good. so much oomph every time you hit a note! the lil skater dude kicking his feet in the game description was cute af too lol. this was nice and chill to play!
edit: forgot to mention, like the above comment said: most of the rhythm games in this jam seem out of sync, but this one was spot on!
I'm so glad the sync was working right! It took a while to really get it going as it can be hard to tell when you're the one who made the song and therefore know when to hit LOL. Thanks for playing!
One of my favorites from the jam! It took me a bit to figure out I was supposed to match the beat to the line instead of the player, But afterwards was a joy to play. So much juice!! Also i love the beat switch
Thank you for playing! I definitely could've added a little more of a tutorial but I'm glad the idea came across anyway!
Very good game! Fitting the theme perfectly and the art style is amazing as well. Simple AND working mechanics, nice music... 5/5!
Thank you so much! Took a minute to get the mechanics to actually work LOL but I'm glad the work paid off!
The premise for this game is already so fun and nostalgic, but the execution takes it a step further! The art style is reminiscent of toby fox's dog sprite, it might be the skater's chill smile LOL
You got a ton of depth in with just 2 colors, the city parallax background is so clean, it was a jolt of energy that you didn't know you needed at first. It being timed with the beat drop was a great touch, and you really elevated the song with a ton of textures here, too! Super awesome work, and really impressive to make such clean mechanics for this rhythm game all for a game jam🔥
Thank you so much for your kind words!! Being compared to Undertale will always hype my ego up LOL.
The city was almost always there but I felt like syncing it to the beat drop added that extra style point :D
I love the art and the vibe is awesome! :0
Thank you so much!!
This is awesome
Thank you for playing!!
i got an F, but this game is an S+ effort!
Thank you so much! Keep trying! You got that S rank no problem!
I absolutely love it. The controls feel great, and I had a really fun time playing. If you added more songs, I think this would probably be one of the best music games I've played before.
Thank you so much! If I ever continue this in the future I will definitely add more songs :)
Really enjoyed this entry! The song is catchy and the art is GORGEOUS! I would like to have seen a bit more in terms of gameplay but the polish is out of this world good. Love how the notes move a little bit and the skater animations are just the best. Awesome!
Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm glad you like the animations. I definitely focused a lot on that compared to the simple gameplay LOL.
