Very solid game, especially for a first-time game jam. I like how the crowd grows as you successfully hit the notes properly, and you've got chances to get back into the rhythm of the game if you mess up. I do think it could be a bit of quality of life if the notes where changed to be bigger or maybe had an additional outline color to them, perhaps, but that may just be my own perspective on it. Beyond that, all I can really say is maybe the visuals could be fine-tuned a bit more, but after that, all I'd hope to see is just more of this game if you choose to do so. I wish you well in your game dev journey going forward
Thank you so much! And thanks for the feedback, I will keep it in mind. Thank you for playing!
Play this reminded me of how I still struggle at games like guitar hero, where I felt like with the dedicated controller I had better controls, but still lost if my performance was too bad.
In Gentoo Riff Riders its not the case - you always get a chance to get back into your rhythm and maybe secure the gig - I prefer it that way to punish a smaller series of mistakes this way better!
You'd metioned you did all the assets yourself - is that also true for the music tracks ? The Track gentoo felt so familiar at parts.
Nevertheless - I had great fun and you did great for your first game jam submission every!
Keep up the good work
Thank you so much! Yes, I did all the music, in Gentoo I used the royal road chord progression (anime chord progression). Maybe that's why it sounds familiar. Thank you for playing!
