Really good one. The concept is amazing

I really love the concept, am a big fan of puzzles and rhythm games, and it was a good challenge!

Submitted

Extremely creative game!!! The drum beats makes me groove and this rhythm looping idea is very unique!!

Submitted

I left a comment on the game page but well done!

Clever name, clever idea and a really solid game, especially by 1 person. 

Found the game pretty difficult but you were upfront with that - so cheers!

Loved it! A bit to hard on those later levels, but has the potential to be a full game. If it were up to me, I'd add some QoL stuff like an extra "sheet" of music to write ideas in, or one that shows/ lets me write down at what beat stuff happens

Really liked this game! We had a similar idea at first of preparing a song that is then played for actions and I don't think we would have pulled it off as well. It was really satisfying when you got the correct pattern and the beat sounded good, especially with the visuals of shielding the laser (?). Great job :)

simple concept in theory but def one that is hard to pull off well and u def delievered!! love the dragon and the dialogue and it helps make the tough game worth sticking with!!!

Submitted

Very cool idea, even if very challenging! Glad I found this gem

Submitted

Really well done! Great to see someone had the guts to actually try and pull this off. Would love to see more of this!

Amazing, I was playing with the same idea but you did the execution way better. Well done!

An unbelievably amazing game. Though the drum kit style of movement and actions may take some time to get used to, it eventually leads to an incredibly rhythmic feel to each challenge as you tackle it, and ultimately scales amazingly difficulty-wise. The only real complaint I have of the game is that there isn't more of it, more specifically more long-scale, challening puzzles like the final one. Were this a game with some kind of extended campaign, or maybe just an endless dungeon of some kind, I would definitely pay a reasonable amount to purchase the game.

I really like your concept, and huge props for building it solo during the jam. Well executed theme and overall submission.

My feedback would be that its really difficult to see how my beat is going to actually line up in game. I think some kind of visual that would help me map where my guy is going to be at different points in the beat would be super helpful. Maybe having each column light up on beat (while planning), or having numbers on the columns that correspond to their beat would be enough.

I made it fairly far (I think) – to a level where you had to attack through barrels and pass through spikes while avoiding the laser shots and it just got a bit too much for me to keep track of by that point.

Overall, great job and congrats on the submission!

I had to search for games close to mine and I think we had the same (and best!) idea!  I really like how you handled the UI, I spent a lot of time scratching my head trying to make the drum machine idea approachable and I think you nailed it.  Nice job!

please add some music to which the drum kit plays, and humanise the drum samples (change velocity sometimes)

As a huge music and puzzle game fan, I believe  this game has a hugh potential. Keep it up man, love your game

Great game!
