I am very impressed with what you got done for this! For me, the visuals/aesthetic were cozy, but the gameplay was not. A little too frustrating/challenging and fast paced.
That said, I think its amazing how much you got done, and am impressed that you made multiple levels/songs to try :)
Appreciate it! I definitely sacrificed more sleep than I should have to crank out the extra songs in time 😂. This was my first jam and now I realize I should focus more on a sharpening the initial experience rather than total content. I'm glad you appreciated the effort though!
I had originally planned for the songs to be more of a "stroll" through the notes so you can easily collect the puzzle pieces and go to the second puzzle half of the game. However, I got bored of that after play testing for 3 days straight and decided I had more fun with a bit of a challenge. Admittedly , I seemed to overtune it a bit though. I completely agree that this choice takes away from the cozy theme and instead gives a sense of frustration 😂. Thank you for the review!
Nice job! The background noise definitely adds to the cozy feel, and the gameplay is tricky but fun! The font choice makes some portions a bit difficult to read, but otherwise the game feels pretty intuitive. Great work!
I loved this idea. The mechanics were a bit tricky, and some of the puzzle pieces were impossible to reach because they were hidden by the notes.
