Have you checked that your GDD is publicly accessible ?
Yes

Is your game set to public on itch.io so we can see it?
Yes

Summarize your game!
Please Note: The arrows do not spawn, this is a known issue with our upload though in engine it works. We posted a youtube link in the GDD with a recording of the game play.

Stuck on a stage, the player is required to perform when under the spotlight, with an audience (the world) watching. This is designed as a rhythm game and with each arrow press, the player acts with dramatic flair.

Please explain how your game fits the theme.
The audience represents the world watching the player perform as they try to escape the stage. If they mess up, they will be booed off stage (mechanic in progress).

Did you use Generative AI to make any assets in your game?
NO

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
Team of two very beginner game devs with little experience. Our first time working on a rhythm game. Please see the youtube video link in the GDD!

Playability:
Don't worry about your game not working. Exporting to browser can be a daunting task at first. Your game looks like it has a lot of promise. Keep it up.

Theme:
Nice work with the theme tying directly to your gameplay. Would love to see more of this.

Cleverness: 
Love the idea of using live stage performance as the basis for mini-games. Good inspiration from Friday Night Funkin here.

Artistic Style: 
Love the sketchy style and different character animations.

The version I played was a bit broken. None of the arrows you're supposed to press showed up, so it was kind of just a freestyle rhythm game heh. That being said: adorable animation, decent music (would have been a teensy bit better with different tunes for each section). Love the theme. Some audience reactions to your playing might have been neat, though maybe there are and I didn't seem them due to the arrows not scrolling/showing for me.

In the description we noted that it is unplayable right now. Locally the game plays as expected, but when uploaded to itch, the arrows either don't spawn or spawn on the wrong layer. There is a link to a gameplay video in our GDD.
