If you click on the buttons and don't drag them onto the board they vanish forever...would also be great to have more explanation of how to play. I like the loop machine/pedal idea though!
Yeah that's definitely something we wish we sorted out. We initially were going to make a PlantsVsZombies style game where enemies could destroy the instruments and the "vanishing if not on the board" is a remnant of that.
Completely agree, we definitely need to make the game's objective clearer (and make a tutorial, proper levels, etc, etc lol).
Regardless, thanks for checking our game out! This is our first time making a game where we both kinda knew how to use a game engine and we had a lot of fun even if our game isn't the best (or balanced lol).
Honestly great concept, I know this stuff is so hard! I think you can add tips/tutorial stuff in the description on the submission page?
I helped to make https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2025/rate/3780676 and I exclusively did drawings and sounds, didn't touch the game dev/code side of things at all because it is so beyond my knowledge!
