Enjoyed trying to activate and unactivate tracks again and again just to figure out in which way the music sounds best XD I love it! Also the idea is great!

The sound design in this is phenomenal. Extremely well made game, great job!
just saw you in the discord. gorgeous soundtrack. Congrats on your 2nd ever game, it plays beautifully, I didn't encounter any issues at all. A little more challenge in each stage unlocking the door would be beneficial, as well as some sort of victory state when you complete the game could be cool, some flourish visually with the door & the music maybe. Bunch of things you could do with this, congrats!
A really smoothing and well-done game ! Great narrative throught music. Some more variations in the level design would have been great to know which part of the music you're creating (rythm, tune, effects, etc)... But you did an impressive work with so little time !
The music was so good. It fit the games atmosphere too so really well done on that. I was doing a lot of head bobbing while playing this. LOL
Awesome concept! The way the music gradually builds by adding different sections creates a real sense of anticipation, like waiting for a new piece of music to be born. Plus, the platforming controls feel great, and the sound effects are spot on. Great game!d(゚∀゚d)
I'm really looking forward to having more types of music blocks available in the future, so we can create even more diverse music!(๑•ᴗ•๑)
This was a cool take on the theme. I wish there had been a little more feedback when interacting with the music blocks, as sometimes I wasn't sure which ones I had activated when I was going back through the area.
liked the idea of selectively adding different parts of the music as a core mechanic, nice game
Really nice idea, would love to see expanded with a more robust gameplay loop!
It's a very original concept with a lot of potential!
However, I was a little frustrated by the lack of gameplay. I would have liked there to have been an objective to activating these notes, like musical puzzles to be solved by activating one note and not another.
Still, it's a beautiful game and a relaxing experience. Well done for creating it :)
this was really special! reminded me a lot of the dream sequences in night in the woods, the slowly building soundtrack was really cool. the only thing i can really criticize is i wish there was a volume slider, and i wish the platforming was a little more challenging! itd be really cool if you had to far off and make some really challenging jumps to get some of the loops. but thats just my tastes talking, i really did like this a lot. hope it does well!
Perhaps the audio is a tad too loud on my browser but doesn't take away from the fact that it sounded good! I think the jumping is a little "floaty", unless that was the intended feel, I think it could use some tweaking, other than that, good job :D
I loved the music in this, great job. It was fun to layer it all, starting with something simple and ending with something sounding very complete.
