Use of the limitation
As a rhythm game, you're constantly fighting to get better at hitting the proper timing. Time (or timing, rather) is quite literally what determines your score.

I dont usually like rhythm games but this was honestly really fun, the concept is really creative and unique and I love how you used Timing the notes as your implementation of the limitation

Submitted

i got a problem, the notes doesnt show and finish the level with D in every level, i tried to get de windows version but is the same :c

Developer

Hey, sorry about that! That is pretty odd, I think the default text on there is S, and if you miss every note it would rank as F, not D. Do you hear sound when the level starts? And also, when the end screen pops up, does it say you got 20 of each not type? 

Submitted

Very cool idea - kinda reminds me of the one-man band animations.

If I had to nitpick one thing, it would be that the notes don't always seem to line up with the beats in the song - could just be wonky webGL audio though.

Developer

Thank you! Yeah there were some problems with getting the audio to always sync up, especially the WebGL build. I put some checks in place to preload the audio and only start spawning the notes when the audio actually starts, but I guess you can't catch everything. Real rhythm games have an input latency adjuster for a reason!

Also, great work on your game it's super impressive! 

Submitted

Thank you!

Curious how you define the different 'songs' that you play in each level.

Developer

I took a really simple approach, just an audio source on an object and a serialized list of audioclips with the 12 different drum loops. On level load, the first number in the first line of the spreadsheet data just indexes into that list and loads that into the audiosource 

Submitted

Super impressive that you were able to get this done in 3 days, and really creative implementation of a rhythm game within the cooking theme!

Thanks! :)

Hola cr@ap the concept is awesome! Very easy to understand and play honestly, congrats :)

Developer

Thank you!

Really impressed by the excel solution for custom beatmaps - this is a whole lot of work for 3 days. As a Ragnarok enjoyer, this would be really cool in VR. Great work!

Developer

The excel spreadsheet thing is actually how I made all the levels, so making that accessible directly in the game was actually the easy part! Thanks for checking it out! 

Submitted

HOW!?? Amazing how much you managed to do in such a short time, so many levels also! I suck at these types of games, but i realized i can just click all the buttons at once, so im pretty good now!

Developer

Thank you for checking it out! :)

This was a great game, I never would have thought to make a rhythm game with the theme and limitation for this jam! Very fun and very original, great work! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I wasn't too sure on it initially but I think it came together in the end

I used to play a lot of osu!mania and guitar hero (back in the day), so this was quite fun, I had a key limit with my keyboard so I couldn't S all of them sadly.

Developer

Aww man I'm sorry about that, remappable controls is definitely the next thing I would add if I keep working on this. Thank you for checking it out! 

Submitted

Nah, it's an issue with my keyboard, it's a problem with most normal keyboards

this was insane!! really cool graphics and the gameplay is super fun :D great job!!!

Developer(+1)

Thank  you!!! Big shout out to MichaelsGameLab on you tube his vids definitely helped me a lot with this one

Submitted(+1)

Super cool game! Sadly im terrible at this type of game lol

Developer

Thank you for checking it out! They definitely take some time to really "get", I was horrible at stepmania when I first started playing that 

Submitted(+1)

Awesome game! Everything is perfect, but I found it a little difficult. Even easy difficulty was a little hard for me. But everything else was amazing!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for checking it out! :

Great game, I completed most of the levels. I like that they were hard but short!

6 buttons ones (hard) were a bit too much for me :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I did aim to make the levels short but sweet, since I'm sure people playing this wouldn't necessarily be interested in a full 3 minute stepmania song haha. 

Submitted(+1)

Awesome !! What the heck! How did you make this in 3 days? Legit impressed, sadly I can't fully enjoy as my keyboard is not doing too well and ends up missing half my inputs on certain letters :( Well done !!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!! Sorry I didn't get around to adding remappable controls, that would definitely be the first thing I add if I keep working on this. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
