Great work! First of all, shout out to the whole team. The visuals, music, and effects all being done by you is seriously impressive. It’s also not very common to see rhythm games in game jams, so shout out to that too.
For reference, I’ve played some rhythm games before, such as Sayonara Wild Hearts, Fresh Tracks, and Everhood, yet I still found Act 1 pretty difficult. Maybe it’s just a problem on my side, but I think the game could use a bit more balancing.
I also noticed some UI issues. The menus felt a bit unresponsive at times. For example, in the start menu, the mouse has to be almost exactly at the center of the button for it to highlight properly.
I also honestly couldn't understand how the game implemented the theme, if it did. If there is a connection that I missed, I’d genuinely love to know more about it.
That said, the presentation and overall vibe of the game were really good, and it’s clear a lot of effort went into it. All in all, nice work!
