I love the vibrant, relaxing colors.

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!

Developer

I appreciate such a positive review! I thoroughly enjoyed playing your game, cheers from one Coloradan to another!

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.

Developer

Thanks! Yes I noticed that as well! I added some new "enemies" at the last minute and didn't quite have time to fix that bug.  Thank you for playing :).

i like game but you should work more on lighting bc it feels not like belong here, also fonts is unreadable, but i enjoy how game feels

Thanks for the feedback! I agree the font and lighting can be improved upon. I was mainly testing on a Windows build and noticed too late that it was a little different on WebGL.
