  • Interesting concept. Guiding people in a rythm game, that's cool.

Great idea and I love rhythm games! The music was good, the concept was good, and the chill mode was awesome, though the controls were very slippery so I couldn't save myself if I was going to hit a wall and the rhythm mechanics didn't seem that important on slower level going to the beat isn't a good idea because you'll go too fast and hit a wall and on fast levels, the controls are so punishing you you just spam and pray, adding one mechanic that can fix all the problems would make this game perfect for a full release, I loved the idea!

Thanks for the feedback. I think I figured out what's wrong, I'll try to release a patch after the jam, I hope you try to play the new version. As for the full release, I'm not sure, it's hard for me to understand the target audience of this game. And what I want to add to the game may not please rhythm game players, but what they want may not please me :)

Don't worry, make the game you enjoy making and the market will follow, as long as you keep the game in line with your core ideas you're golden. As for your audience, it's me, I'm your audience, and I love good controlling rhythm games and I know there are lots of others. I believe you can make something you and in turn lots of people enjoy. :)

That was fun! I like rowing in time with the beats of the music, at least in the easier levels. I like how progressive the difficulty is, and that you included chill mode for people who just want to enjoy the game and see what it has to offer. Great job!

Loved the vibe with the music! Lol I would have never gotten through that last level if it wasn't for chill mode, good design!

Thanks for the feedback, I didn't have time to let someone else play the finished game. I thought the game was too easy, but apparently my "Normal" is actually "Hard"
