Got 128 and 150 combo respectively. Guess my old DDR skills are still here. Really nice visuals with the alien band. The rhythm game feels good to play, the songs are decent, but maybe due to being a web build, the timing felt slightly off. Not a big deal for me, though. Baguette Eiffel got me laughing out loud, which is a plus. Overall the game is quite polished, so well done!

Other things I like:

  • Clean UI for notes and track
  • The score display looks clean, which is really a requirement for a good rhythm game
  • The play button being a sign into area 51. Also, animation on the menu screen too!

Suggestions:

  • Audio feedback would be nice for tapping the notes
  • It's a lot to ask, but animation for the band would be really ideal. It looks very static right now

First of all, thank you very much for your full review! Really helpful and with lots of positive and constructive feedback :) here are some points I can answer:

  • The Baguette Eiffel was the starting point of all the bizarre ideas when doing the brainstorming for the theme, everything else came from there haha. We initially thought of a Free Tour Guide that had to build a circle of tourists and bring them to strange places like this, and talk and show it to get points (might work on that idea as a test in the future for another small game).

  • The timing on the notes sometimes was a bit hard to sync perfectly, so it might be a problem of the notes itself, not the web. We are planning to improve the levels a bit post Jam :)

  • About the audio feedback: we focused on the visual feedback with the ripples, and even thought to make the note show white before disappearing to give more feedback in that part, but it’s true we could add a small drum or space sci-fi sound for the single notes and the hold notes. I personally wanted the player to enjoy the original song without much extra noises (the crowd was supposed to show up after Streak x20 with a “WOHOO!” and crowd noise, but it was out of scope / song was not going to listened well). We will look into that for post Jam as well and let you know to test it!

  • About animation of the band: another point that was out of scope, sadly :( it could be a nice addition if our pixel artist has time post Jam. She wanted to add different states of the band (like sweating and sad if there were lots of misses, and happy and playing if they were playing correctly). Lots of ideas, but such a short time, but oh well, Jams are like that haha :(
