Lol, this is ridiculous but very cool! Took me a while to figure out how to change or set the pitch for each note.    Great visuals. Nice work! 

Developer

Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

That initial cutscene was a whole production XD Kudos for the animations and the art style, it's really cool! I'm a complete nincompoop when it comes to music production, so I can't really comment on the functionality of the "tool", but I can recognize how great everything else is. The geese, the athmosphere, the UI and even the title, amazing work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for playing and Im super glad you enjoyed it! Honestly, the "tool" sacrifices functionality for vibes, but that was kinda the point.

Super cool game ! I streamed it for my buds and everyone loved it !!! The intro was spectacular. Such a good game :) 

Developer

thanks for playing! I'm glad they loved it!

What a charming and wonderful game. The cutscene was an actual mini movie, the gameplay is unlike anything I've ever played. Loved it so much. If I had to give any notes, I would have loved some audio in the cutscene- maybe a little "plop" splash for the tear, and some goose honks here and there. 

That said, I will definitely be coming back to this game and I will be showing my friends. Great job y'all :)

Thanks for playing! I'm really glad you enjoyed and at some point after the jam I intend to add more sounds, I just ran out of time to add them. I'll reply back here when I've circled back on that in a while

i really like the cutscene it's touching in a hilarious way, and it's based on reality? lol. I really want to try it, but i have come back several times and I still can't get any sound!? Is this just me? I wish i could give a full review.

Hey thanks for playing, unfortunately I ran out of time to add sound to the cutscene, but the game should have full sound. To clarify the game itself is a sandbox game and it's intended that you make a song using the sound the geese make, so there's no background track inside the game bc it would get in the way of that.

This is a neat idea with an impressive implementation in the musical grid. I did find myself fighting with the goose heads to get them to the notes I wanted. As a musician I wanted more options for notes :-)

Definitely one of the weirder and more unique entries!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for play! Yes, I definitely think there's a smoother solution for the interaction with the ducks' heads, but I'm glad you enjoyed it. If I ever make a more complete version I'll definitely provide a broader range of notes and options to the player.

So creative! The opening cutscene was great and the concept here is so good. I don't have much in the way of musical talent, but that didn't stop from me having fun re-arranging notes and playing to make different beats. Thanks for making and sharing your game! This is great! 

Developer

Thanks for playing! I appreciate the kind words, you're game was amazing as well so I'm honored by the praise.

Very cute game with such a unique idea and style! I loved being able to play around with it and make some funky beats. I haven't seen a sandbox game yet in a game jam so this was really cool to play! You should be very proud, well done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I'm really glad you had as much fun playing it as I did making it.

Cutest little game! Very simple and fun :) I loved the beginning cutscene it was very silly and fitting for the game. The title is also really funny! I love the puns. Great job :) Love this game <3

Thanks so much for playing, Im glad that you enjoyed the puns haha

WHAT THIS IS INCREDIBLE. Genuinely one of my favorite games in this jam!! Very nice system and I love how it's all up to the player. Great and super strong submission!

Developer

Thank you for playing and I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

pleasant game and IT WAS NICE to make sounds in a system that encouraged play, the imperfect rhythm lines, the ability to place notes anywhere verytically/horizontally, and the overall non-serious nature of the game made me feel welcome to play around, 

AND PLAY AROUND I DID
checkout this beat i made (no download needed, just use the audio player that pops up)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fuHd7ZlN0R6p1SNNhtMPalHvriW0j2gq/view?usp=shari...

I did not enjoy moving their heads up and down as much as I thought I would BUT ONLY because I wasn't ever sure if i was clicking on the right part of their neck -  so i kept having to drag n retry

omg i forgot i accidentally skipped the cutscene  (i pressed the button on the bottom right in curiosity), so when i came back to the comments talking about it and then witnessed it, 
it made me look back on my times with the geese even more fondly... LOL


but for real, nice cutscene! even with it lacking sounds, it was Awesome

NICE

Developer

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it a ton and that you were able to create an awesome song with it. I'll try to think through how I can improve the heads action to make it smoother after the jam!

Wonderful little music maker game, great idea, and a good cutscene. I love the art style, and the gameplay / interactions and animations are cool too. Great Work

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed and that the intro was successful! (If makes it better the ghoostey boys are very much enjoying haunting that pond)
