This is probably my favorite game I've played so far. It's got the N64 vibe down, and it's a really inventive idea. I hope you decide to polish this game and flesh it out more.

This game was actually a lot of fun! The style and overall aesthetics were spot on for n64. I liked the n64 controller C button UI too. Made things feel much more n64. Some feedback would be, with the flute, make the projectiles a tad more capable against the little mushroom things. That said, this is one of my favorites from the jam so far! Had a Zelda ocarina of time mixed with guitar hero type vibe to it. Well done! :)
Enjoyed this one a lot, love that you can customize your character and it's satisfying to jam out for a second and then womp on the enemies for a bit. I feel like it would be really cool turned into a roguelike with procedurally generated content (music/enemies/powerups/levels etc)

Highway Tetris 64Very great interpretation of the theme! This was a very clever mash-up of two incompatible genres. As others have said, I wish the combat felt a little better. I also wish there was more song variety. But this was an enjoyable surprise. Great job!

GO! GO! Hamster Chef!Nice. The character is slow, but other than that it's pretty cool. I think that when the player is attacking after completing the song mode he shouldn't be able to get hurt, but instead push the objects back

Sneaky Love 64Absolutely loved the concept!
I also liked the idea of choosing the inicial weapon, and the visuals really feel like a N64.
My only complaints are that the weapons in general are a bit slow, and the mushroom enemies are a bit overpowered.
Also, since their bullets can still hurt (and kill) when the player is singing, is a bit harder to find a good moment to activate the power.
