I like how every action has a sound effect to go with it, it adds a TON to making the game feel polished. it would be nice if you had different difficulties of each spell that are different amounts effective, but that would likely be difficult considering the time constraints. overall great game. :)

Genuinly loved this! Would have legitimate potential for a post jam game too. It did feel a bit slow and repetetive after a while, but that could all be addressed for a full game. I feel like the player should be under time pressure. The entire game should be rythm based, not only the song you play and suddenly you're constantly on your feet and your strategic choices are much less trivial

You fixed the issue I have with most turn based games where all I do is press buttons. This was very satisfying to play!

Definitely a super cool idea and I love the humour, the final boss do the classic JRPG three phase fight got me. I do wish there were more songs though. I spent most of it just playing the mage song and the rest alternating between fighter and cleric song. Great style though and a great thing to build off. Nice job!

Really cool idea! I can definitely see this idea being expanded by adding more variety of songs to give the player more of a challenge. But it was still satisfying to get every keypress.

The music and sound effects felt super satisfying, I just wish there was a little more variation to the gameplay.

This was cute and fun to play. It was  the first game I played as I started perusing other games and I was pleasantly surprised! It would be nice to have variations on the music as the levels went on.

I love rhythm type games, this was cute!

Really enjoyed this. Fun sense of humour, and well implemented rythm mechanics. Castle section was a bit too long and repetitive though.
