Hey thanks for checking that out! I think for gameplay it would probably just be a simple visual puzzle (maybe where you rotate sections to get the correct pattern or  something along those lines), but the first step is figuring out how to draw the patterns with code in PICO-8. I've started that a little, but I need to break down the designs into simpler components and draw bigger patterns with those. PICO-8 has very limited graphics space, so I need to work out how to make the most of that.

Hi apologies for the delay. Glad you enjoyed the new levels! Thanks for letting me know! 

Was this crash when clicking the yes button on the last notice message? I should have fixed that now (along with some other stuff)

Hi, thanks for letting me know! I've uploaded a fix, please let me know if it's still an issue or you run into anything else!

Thanks~

Hi thanks very much for making a video on the game! 

I enjoyed the format, it's nice to hear people's thoughts in a bit more detail when they play the game~
(Also just fyi, the way beat sharing works is when you click the share button you get a bit of text that can be copied and then pasted and imported into someone else's copy of the game)

Hi, sorry about that. I've just uploaded a fix (0.1.1.17a) that should solve it. Let me know if it's still a problem or you run into anything else.

Thanks~

Hi thanks for asking! I'm actually planning an update to the demo to be uploaded (roughly) within the next month~

If you want more regular updates on what I'm working on, I send out a monthly status update via a mailing list: http://bearmask.io/mailing-list
I also post that update in the discord:  https://discord.gg/7acATbT
The playtest links are also sent out via the mailing list, I'm not currently planning to send out anymore playtest links though.

Apologies for the slow progress, I'm just one person working on this in my free time, so progress is often slower than I'd like.
Thanks~

Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed it~

Thanks for sharing! I'm glad you enjoyed the game. This is really cool sounding! I like the interlocking rhythms a lot.

Thanks for sharing! I think I enjoyed the beat you did for Room 2 most~

Thanks for sharing! You really maxed out the snare on this one.

Thanks for sharing! I liked it a lot, it has a real build up type of feel~

Thanks for sharing, I definitely preferred the first one, but you've definitely succeeded in making something hard to play for the second one~

Thanks for sharing! I'm glad you liked the game. I liked your beat!

Thanks for sharing! It sounds great! It's cool to see you make use of the multiple slots per instrument~

Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed~

Thanks for sharing! I couldn't try the random beat maker one, unfortunately I haven't implemented saving and sharing for those properly yet.

Thanks for sharing! I did like it, especially the drums!

Thanks for sharing! I liked the triplets~

Thanks for sharing! Sounds great! I liked the solid drum + bass with the melodies coming in and out~
I'm glad you liked the game!

Thanks for sharing! Sounds nice :)

Thanks for sharing! Still sounds good to me! It is definitely a hard one though

Thanks for sharing! I particularly liked the guitar line! I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

Thanks for sharing! I liked it~

Thanks for sharing! Lots of notes!

Thanks for sharing! It's cool you made a beat for all the levels!

Thanks for sharing! Very nice~ :)

Thanks for sharing! These were both really cool, I liked the hihats and the drums especially. Also it's cool you used triplets in the second one! :)

Thanks for sharing! I liked the open hihats in the drums~

Thanks for sharing! Actually sorry the Random Beat mode saving & sharing actually doesn't work yet.
I'll try to add that at some point~

Thanks for sharing! I liked the bell~

Thanks for sharing! :)

Sounds great! Thanks for sharing, I liked the back and forth of the instruments~

Thanks for sharing! I liked the constant guitar + piano

Thanks for sharing! Unfortunately beat sharing + saving doesn't work for the Random Beat mode yet. Hopefully I'll be able to add that at some point soonish.

Thanks for sharing! Very cool. I like that you kept the number of instruments stripped down~

Thanks for sharing! Very nice, I like the guitar bit~

Thanks! Yeah I actually wasn't thinking about using that at first, but then I saw the printing service I usually use had it as an option. Apparently people use it for stuff like hidden verification codes on tickets or certificates or just for promotional things!

Hi sorry about that, for random beats, actually nothing is saved yet, the text is wrong. That's something I need to fix. But I will need to change the save file format and the random beat menu UI too. For normal levels, if you click the level you should see a list of all the beats you have made for that level. You can select one and either edit it or play it as a level. So it will fill slots C onwards. This is what it should look like for a normal level.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it~
