thank you for that feedback!! im working on a small update that will include speedrun timers and a bunch of little gameplay tweaks that i hope will make the platforming feel better. i spent a lot of time getting the audio and note-platforms right as compared to the player and movement, so i needed to address a few things. the player sprite was a little white blob as a placeholder for the longest time and i just could not figure out what i wanted it to become, so i just made it a slightly more detailed white blob 😭😭.
if i do another update, i will probably make a totally new player sprite because i agree it kind of sticks out hahaha. i also would like to make the note-keys rebindable, or at least a toggle for a two-rows option similar to what you describe.
thanks again for playing and for writing up these thoughts!! i really appreciate it.
thank you thank you!! totally agree there are some odd moments with the timing sometimes. i wanted the notes to stick to avoid making the "rhythm" part of the game too demanding - it should be more about the creativity of your platforming instead of your ability to nail an offbeat sixteenth note. ive been going through the game and making little adjustments to help with that and i want to make an update after the voting period is over.
thank you for playing and for the feedback though!
the later levels i was definitely designing to try to encourage a cooler beat by the time you reach the flag - some of the levels where the platforms all sit around slots 3-5 sound a little ummm directionless when you're done haha. thank you for playing!
hehehe i thought about trying to include support for a real MIDI keyboard but that was a bit beyond me considering the time limit, so keys 1-8 had to do. thank you for playing!
out of curiousity i had to go and play Melodic Platforming. that is so adorable really - i love the idea of representing your "journey" through a game after the game is over, kind of like how Breath of the Wild shows the last 100 hours of your travel across the map. thank you for the kind words <33
the character is 1000% my least favorite thing in the game right now. an even more plain version of it was a placeholder for a while and i procrastinated figuring out a real character for too long and had to just embrace the white blob. so... for now its just a white blob lmaooo
ohhh thats a very good idea! it would be pretty straight forward to just make it a toggle. i figured generous quantization was pretty necessary for people who were less rhythmically-inclined haha. thank you for playing!!
ohh that's where everyone came from! aw thank you for the kind words. im literally in the middle of updating it right now, planning on some good little tweaks like coyote time and a little speedrun timer as soon as uploads are unlocked again!
gosh this is so nice and polished, very nice job. my only downside is that it is SO HARD to think ahead more than 1-2 steps. i usually love puzzle games too but my brain was just not equipped for this particular mechanic hahaha. I got to day 8. but this is such a fantastic entry.
thank you!! i tried to be quite generous with how a note "sticks" to the lines to avoid those little tedious moments but i can definitely see that it's not perfect. hopefully the music was good enough you didnt mind waiting another measure 😈😈
