What category are you in?
How does your game relate to the theme?
Audio masking occurs when one sound makes another sound harder to hear. When sound waves overlap, they interfere:
Destructive interference (opposite phases) = waves cancel out
Constructive interference (same phase) = waves amplify
This is the same physics behind noise-canceling headphones! In IT REALLY HERTZ, you manipulate wave platforms using these exact principles.

This is my first ever game jam and first ever "completed" game!! 100% of the art, music, and code of course is by me! I used GameMaker 2 for the art and coding and I make all my music from scratch in Ableton!!
I'm a recording arts major at CU Denver and I do game dev as a hobby but I love making games about music and also adventure games like Earthbound!
I hope you enjoy playing IT REALLY HERTZ!!

I can't believe all this amazing stuff was made in just two days. ALL 5 STARTS. I've played a lot of games from this jam, and while there were some incredible ones, none are as polished as this. It looks like a game with months of work behind it—one of the best of the game jam! I'd love to hear what do you think of my humble game too; I need feedback (I only have 3 rates) ;)
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that! "Polish > Sleep" haha. Your game looks so awesome but I'm a Mac user so unfortunately I can't play it :(
holy balls this is so peak, i love the aesthetic and the gamefeel! massive Jerm fan
Thank you!!! I'm a massive terumafu fan, Day Job was so much fun and so well made!
Fascinating realization of the theme, extremely polished! Sometimes I had problems with jumping into the portal when I'm standing right below it, but maybe it's me problem. And on one level blue key was on blue background, and I was confused for a good 30 seconds, like where the hell is the key XD. But I still enjoyed
Im really glad you enjoyed, thank you!!! Night mode definitely had a few extra kinks to work out but I'm happy it didn't make it completely impossible! Great work on UNMASKING, its super super cool!!
Super cool theme and extremely polished. Was fun and also felt good to play. Great job!
Thank you so much!! I really enjoyed playing through Massaquerade :)
Caught my attention because of the art style, didn't expect a GENIUS game concept. How can I never thought of a game like this at my DSP classes? hahaha, creativity here is off the charts, in all aspects (music, art, gameplay and theme). Really impressive stuff
Thank you so much!! It's always awesome to meet another wave nerd!! Sangria is such a beautiful game, great job!!
I was shocked by the amount of polish when I loaded up the title screen and saw the cool art and all the characters running around talking and stuff and being able to switch between dark and light mode. The music is really good and fits the gameplay and the art well. The theme interpretation is super original, and the art style plus the level background art is super cool. You also do a fantastic job with teaching the player the controls and how to play with Semi. And the fact that you did all of this yourself AND this is your first completed game is crazy, I hope this game wins. You should be seriously proud of yourself, this is amazing work!
Thank you so much, that really means a lot!! I spent so much time working on the menu instead of sleeping so I'm really happy it payed off! Im so happy you enjoyed it!! Animal thief is so much fun! It reminded me of the games I played when I was younger!!
There is no way this is your first ever game man, how is anyone in novice supposed to compete with that?? Amazing game
Haha it is (unless you count a broken Undertale combat knockoff)!! Thank you so much I really appreciate it!! Weld Done was so much to play! Alien Space mushrooms are my new spirit animal!
OH MY GAWD! this core mechanic is absolutely amazing! my jaw dropped when i saw the resonance and suppressive waves interacting. This has so much potential and should be explored for many more game ideas! well done! well done! well done!
Thank you so much!! I'm glad to meet another audio nerd and I'm so happy you enjoyed it!! Change of Face is so much fun, I could definitely get addicted to playing that haha
I enjoyed playing it a lot! You implemented the theme in a unique way. Excellent!
Thank you so much!! Flying Bike was really fun!
insane game for the novice category, hell just in general! super creative concept, great and smooth gameplay and awesome art. loved it.
Im so happy you liked it, thank you!! I really appreciate it!
I'm a huge fan of Tina haha. Great game!!
Holy smokes, this is an incredible first jam game. Everything from the music, to the levels, to the gameplay, to the visuals was a joy to play through. I really hope this wins!
Thats so nice, thank you!! I'm really happy you enjoyed it so much!
Chromask was a blast!! (That is so fun to say out loud) Amazing job on that!!
Different game, good job!
Thank you so much!! Mask Cards was awesome!
This is incredible!! The game is so stylish and polished, fr hope u win
Thank you so much!! I got so obsessed with Semi that I had to make sure he had a whole world and everything haha.
Iron Mask is so sick!! 100% a game I'd binge play for hours
This game is sick! Nice work and thanks for checkin out mine :)
Thank you so much! And of course! It doesn't say which one you submitted. which one was it again?
This is your first game?! Genuinely insanely well made esp. for a solo dev!!! The art/general aesthetics are adorable and this is probably the coolest interpretation of the theme I've seen. Only note is that like some other commenters I had a lot of lag on levels 1 and 7. Other than that, this might just be the perfect jam game. Keep it up!!
It is! Thank you so much!! I started learning GameMaker2 earlier this year (I do have other code experience) and really wanted to join a jam! I really appreciate the feedback about the art too! I'm more of a musician mainly so I was stressing big time about my art haha.
The lag seems to be coming from a background effect that some people have issues with so I'll have to figure out how to make it a toggle in settings next time I use it or something. Thank you so much for playing!
Beyond Leon is such an amazing game!! It was so much fun to play!
Crazy interpretation of the game. Hope this wins, or at least get a prize!!!
Thank you so much!! Masked Shift was so well made and so fun to play!!
AMAZING GAME! I love the real world connections! It really is unique compared to the rest of them, and I'd like to point out the music too! It felt very relaxing! You have outdone yourself heavily
Thank you so much!! I'm really happy you liked the music! I had so much fun playing your game, the spotlights were a jump scare every time!!
Wow, wow, wow
Haha thank you!!
Crazy to think this made in 72 hours. Would pay money for this if there was more content! Feel like it has huge potential. Great job!
I really appreciate that, thank you!! I wish I could play your game but I'm a Mac user! It looks awesome though!!
I added a web build If you'd like to check it out!
Oh yes let's goo!!! Just played it now! Great job, that was super fun!!
Very impressive for a Novice entry ! Congratulations, you did amazing on your first jam. The collisions are a bit buggy on the square waves, but I could still finish it, it was very fun.
That means a lot, thank you!! Masuku was so cool! It's wild how you pretty much made Assassins Creed in just three days! Hats off to you 100%
And yeah haha those square waves were a nightmare. I made this in GameMaker2 and had to create the waves completely from scratch so the built in collision systems basically decided to take the day off. Thank you so much for playing!
