I felt bad that there is no average score, because some teams aimed for all categories, not just one. So I just scrapped the results page and made a table. I agree with Mark that "Overall" is questionable, but I still think "Average" is a valuable score, so I decided to share it.
Woah, that’s quite good! Thank you for informing :)
The gameplay is very common, but I really like the cool bugs!!! The music is super nice！
Great game !! Such stylish design, and amazing music. Slighlty overwhelming at first, but it is very fun anyway. Amazing job
Very difficult, but clever idea.
I play twice, and for me the base difficulty was too high on my first playthrough! But i had huge fun, your game is juicy, clean and very stylish ! Its a super cool game !
Thanks for playing! Balancing the difficulty was tricky (we were still adjusting it an hour before the deadline) but I’m glad you still enjoyed it :)
Interesting idea. Found it too challenging.
Really love the concept, I dig the artstyle and all, but input-wise I have no idea if I’m bad or if the latency is to blame (the latency option in the menus is a nice thought but when I don’t know how many ms of latency I have it’s of no use to me). If you ever want to improve the game post-jam I’d love to replay it though, great job!
Thank you for the feedback! We've received some similar complaints about latency in the browser version, specifically, did you try out the executable? Perhaps that could offer you a more satisfying experience :)
woah, really loved the sound & art design of your game, it feels really polished!! might have gotten away a little with the input spams, but overall it was a good mix of fun and challenge, nicely done :D
I don't play rhythm games but a worm DJ was too good to pass up :D Solid execution on all fronts, audio is great of course but I really enjoyed the art and the dialogue between the songs. It was pretty tough though haha
Hey, a fellow rhythm game submission! I loved the WarioWare-type gameplay where you finish a bunch of short loops instead of one long song, it works really well for a jam game! The inputs felt a bit unreactive but I really like the concept of the game.
sonic cd samples jumpscareThank you very much for both the praise and the criticism! I’ll be sure to check your game out asap :)
(And yep, you got us! One of our composers is a massive Sonic fan, so she added in some influences in a few tracks.)
Very cool songs! I actually got stuck here playing this hahaha really well done!
Really interesting theme and catchy songs! Good job
Catchy tunes, I would love to be able to find the soundtrack somewhere!
The modifiers took me down (4133)... Love the art style and overall vibe, music and sound design is great!
A really good fusion of warioware and rhythm games. The melodies are catchy and groovy, just HOW MANY LOOPS ARE PACKED INTO THIS THING???? :D The modifiers are pretty creative as well! The timing is forgiving, maybe even a bit too much. Haven't tried harder modes yet.
My score is 8527, ended on stage 5. Enjoyed the game a lot!
Thank you very much for the nice words!
There are 16 loops in total, and 6 different client portraits with all of their own unique song filenames as well as win and loss messages.
The input timing and other aspects of the difficulty were definitely things that our team tweaked together for ages, it can be really challenging to get that sort of stuff right with a game as randomized as this, but I'm glad you ended up having fun! :)
Love the audio and it feels great as soon as you're in the flow - for my old brain it was just a bit too difficult to keep up :D ... so I ended up missing most of the notes... if there would be a slower version - i would probably enjoy it a lot.
Great game, it feels very polished! I would love to learn more about little insects and how they ended up in music production.😁
It's a bit confusing that regular notes disappear after you complete them but long notes don't disappear. But other than that, I didn't find any issues.
THE BEST Game I've Played In This Jam So Far. Great Job!
the sound design in this game is phenomenal; great job! I love the main menu
