Absolute cinema.
Really, wow. This was a piece of art. My jaw is a bit uncomfortable now having finished the whole game with it gaped wide open.
I'm just... gahh how is this possible in two weeks, seriously!? The amount of work done is so insane. The animations, the backgrounds, the mechanics... I know it took FOREVER to choreograph those notes for the rhythm game and/or create a tool to do so. Even just having those constellations pointing at the buttons in the menu... that's all time and effort I appreciate.
The 3rd rhythm level's music... man. I locked in so hard for it. It's gorgeous and full and powerful. The work put into the sound and art really sold the ambience that wanted to be portrayed. You did it; you've won.
Unfortunately there isn't a 6 star option to score the audio. I'm sorry!
The game was so fun! I loved the rhythm game parts especially. Idk why but having it angled (instead of the notes landing parallel to each other) helped understand what notes I was meant to play a lot better? Also, it was also slow enough for me to digest but not too slow that it was trivially easy. I wanted more!
And the level design!? I'm a big dumbo when it comes to platformers like these. I've spend an embarrassingly long amount of time wandering around in Hollow Knight tryna understand where I was supposed to go next. This game just guided me the whole way through and I somehow never managed to get lost?? Now, I did notice the incongruous paths that led directly to the big machine thingys after beating the rhythm level, but I'll let it slide ;) The rest of it was very immersive.
Beautiful. I'm gonna give my keyboard some rest now
