Thanks! You can zoom out using the scroll wheel to make it a little less disorienting.

No, I haven’t played parasite eve.

At the bottom of each song’s menu, there’s a button called “CREDITS”. Selecting it will take you to the originals. You can also use “AUTOPLAY” or “TRAIN” to see how it’s supposed to sound when played correctly.

I ordered the notes by the pitch so lower pitches are at the bottom. When developing I tried a bunch of things and this was the most intuitive considering the constraints. It does get easier after some practice.

Thanks! If you liked it, you should consider getting a midi keyboard.

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you liked it. I followed the usual music convention for placing numbers (low pitch being lower and high pitch being higher). I found it difficult in the beginning too. It does get easier after some practice.

It had a scoring system initially, but I removed it. It felt off and doesn’t really make sense if you can clearly tell if you’ve played the music properly or not. It’s basically emulating a real piano.

You can play it on a normal keyboard! No numpad needed. Please see the documentation for controls mapping.

Good concept but implementation could’ve been better. Vehicle controls are very annoying, camera makes the vehicle hard to control as well.

It came to me in a dream.

Thanks. Please add an option to select level as well so that I can continue from level 3.

Lovely game! Though I got stuck here and don’t know what to do now. Even after watering the plant isn’t high enough to jump.

They do display in level 1. Is there a bug that made it not display for you?

Glad you liked it. You have to use W and S to adjust the bulge of the spectrum. How much damage happens to an enemy depends on how wide that color is in the spectrum. Eg if the bulge is on yellow, yellow enemies will be hit very hard but blue ones will be barely hurt.

I did consider painting the ground but that might’ve made enemy colors hard to identify and interfered with the gameplay. That’s why the bg is dark’ish and enemies are brightly colored.

Glad you liked the art. That’s the first time I’ve drawn something.

Oh man, the nostalgia hits hard!

Holy hell the fights are difficult.

Cute game!

Nice. Liked it.

Woah, lovely game!

Wow, fun little game. Looks like bionic bugs + agar.io crossover. It would be really fun with a multiplayer option.

PS. Please check out my game as well if you have time.

Damn, it’s good!

Fun game. Holy hell it gets really difficult in level 2. Loved the art, very charming.

Nice game! Reminds me of that section from limbo where a worm controls you.

Cool concept! I also chose a color based mechanic for my game.

Woah that’s a lotta little guys. “Apes together strong” would’ve been a really cool name for it.

🤘🤘🤘 boing boing boing 🤘🤘🤘

Fun game! The parallax art looks really cool. If there was an option to cancel the jump or slide like you can in subway surfer, it would fit really well because then you can collect even more pickups.

Please check out my game if you have time.

Cute game! A waterfall jump level like this would fit really well here. I’d appreciate if you can try out my game as well.

Really cool game. I’m really digging the gameplay.

Really fun game! I got to number 5 after a couple tries. Climbing the leaderboard makes it really addictive. I wish the boss guy didn’t go near the wall because that means the player can’t see his health bar anymore.

Here’s my entry for this game jam. Let me know what you think:

Beautiful and charming game. Sound design is really good. The sounds feel nice on the ears. I was a little sad when I finished it because I wanted to play more. Would definitely buy it if you published an expanded version of it.

Thrilled to hear you liked it! Yeah the wave 3 is supposed to be hard because it’s the last one. You have to get some good upgrades or use the color mechanic really efficiently to survive that.

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the game. I’ll certainly check out your game.

The third wave is actually the final one, which is why it’s so difficult. There are certain upgrade combinations that are quite overpowered and can be very useful in the third wave.

Best of luck!
