Hi I passed the 4 levels of the game and found it very enjoyable. I really like how you mix music and the gameplay. This is also encouraging for people to learn music so really well done. Keep up the nice work
Thank you! Planning on updating it so stay tuned!
Unfortunately I am too late to give a rating, just wanted to jump in and leave the message that it is very cute either way! Love the idea and all the details in the environment!
Thanks for the comment anyways, we love to read these!
Very cool how the platforms play the their note when you jump on them. At first I was putting stairs everywhere but your character can actually jump 2 or more notes up, so it gives you more flexibility in charting your path. I like it!
Ah I love a music game!! And the concept/mechanic is so cool too!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was such a joy to play! Really neat take on theme and perfectly integrated into a fun little music game!
Thank you so much!
What an amazing take on the theme, really well done! It plays well, it's fun, it's bug free, it's cute. Everything just screams polish. Very impressive!!
Thank you!
Oh this was a joy to play! Using the keys to literally make platforms is such a neat way to make you think about exactly what you have to press, actually pressing it and creating a little tune in the process. Up untill I died i did not acutally realise there is no floor, or rather that the floor kills you what with it being the same colour as the floating blocks. I think with more polish and variations of the core loop this would be a really neat game!
Thanks for the feedback! We will take this into account when updating the game :D
The Beat'en Path’s got a charming connection to music that really draws you in, and the art style is just perfect for the vibe. The game strikes a great balance—it’s challenging enough to keep you engaged, but not so difficult that you get stuck.
There’s definitely a rough diamond in this game; with a bit more polish, it could really shine. A simple tutorial to guide players through the first level would be a great addition, helping ease into the gameplay. I think the easiest way would be to show the player what to do (now press 1, now press 2, now press 3, now move over the created notes to the key and save the other note). The way the notes look gives me a "snake" vibes, and I’m totally on board with the idea of musical snakes saving others with their tunes! Overall, it’s a creative and enjoyable game. Great job! For sure going to this year's collection of mine!
Thanks so much!
Very much enjoyed this game! I really liked how atmospheric the background was, and the UI was very cute given the theme of the game! Very unique controls, I could see a lot of depth if there were more puzzle mechanics added.
Thank you!
Really enjoyed this game! Much more complex than it looks, but you managed to make it feel as simple as possible - great job!
Thanks a bunch :D
Really cool game! And very creative! Nice job!
