I had a lot of fun playing! I'm a huge fan of puzzle games, and I know it's quite difficult to design a good puzzle game. My only wish is that it had been a bit more challenging. It looks great and feels really polished. Great work!

Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback!
The notes are currently supposed to register when they reach the line, but in hindsight, having them register over the buttons themselves would have been much clearer. That's definitely something we'll look into improving.
We know the two-handed control scheme can take some getting used to. Our intention was to make the player feel like they were actually texting, but a key rebinding option is a great suggestion and would let players choose a setup that's more comfortable for them.
You're also absolutely right about the rhythm gameplay. We weren't fully satisfied with it either, but unfortunately we ran out of time during the jam and had to leave it in a less polished state than we would have liked. Better visual feedback for hits and misses, with more distinct indicators, is something we agree would greatly improve the experience.
Regarding the story, we realized that reading the messages while focusing on the gameplay can be difficult. To help with that, we included the ability to scroll through the conversation after each level so players can still enjoy the story at their own pace. We also added an "unlosable" mode so players can experience the full game even though the current difficulty balance isn't quite where we want it to be.
Thanks again for giving the game a try and for sharing your thoughts. We'd love for you to give it another shot once we've had a chance to improve it after the jam!
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed the idea and the visuals! We wanted to make the controls look and feel like texting but since they're not common we're aware its hard to get used to and we probably would've changed them if we had the time. We did put the possibility to scroll through the messages at the end of each act so people could still enjoy the dialog!
Thank you for your comment and your constructive criticism! Sadly we didn't have to time to work more on the smoothness of the rythm. You can read through the messages at the end of the song and you can also put the unlosable mode on in the settings to be able to enjoy the full game even tho its quite hard hihi. We're gald you enjoyed our game!
