How does your game fit the theme?
The game is centered around making a musical loop track. The player also will loop back to the beginning when they go off screen. The number of loops played is also used as a score (the lower the better).

Very good concept and execution although it's pretty short (but well, understandable (had actually tried to make a daw in godot) and considering you have to set up the ui in 4 days, it's pretty good! )

Tricolor TrialsVery interesting concept and great execution!
Love the beat we get after activating all the notes. The pixel-style graphics are really cute too, especially the character we're playing as.
It was very fun to play. I'd love to try completing the other levels, if you intend on developing the game further.
Good job!

REPLACEMENTCool little time, and a real fun concept, definitely pretty simple and short, and I also would like if jumping on top of the empty platforms did something, but there's quite a good bit of good stuff here!

ChronophobiaCute little game but the controls feel a little off. I'm pretty sure there was no jump buffering or coyote time. Also it was easy to bump your head on higher platforms when trying to make a jump. Really nice style and idea tho.

Behind BarsReally cool game concept! Made me wish there would be more to the song. The build you have now already feels so good to play and really polished :) I do think there should be a punishment for getting zapped by the timeline laser, but for now it was a nice casual experience.

It goes in the square holeI love it when players are able to affect the music of the game. Nice creative concept.

Loop E CarThat's a great game idea! I like the music which came out at the end too :)

The Learning LoopOK for someone like me that can't combine 4 notes without blowing someone's ear drums out this is humbling, you are using music in such an interesting way, here take my rating you've eared it

LoopoborosNice idea, I like it! Also the fact that you're playing a human cursor is very fun.
I must say that the platforming was a bit frustrating, I felt like I had to focus a lot for my jumps, as the notes are very close to each other (both vertically and horizontally), it's very easy to get stuck on a jump, fall, get killed, and being reset on the left. Even worse when that happens on the right part of the screen, because you respawn on the left, and the playing marker kills you on spawn. I know you can loop from right to left, but then you have to run all the way to try your jumps again, which can become annoying quickly. At least the respawning is quick so that's not that serious, but definitely something I would improve if I were to work on the game. And that leads me to another thing, which
I feel like the game is more of a platformer than a music/rhythm game, which tricked me a little bit because I was expecting being able to do some composition using the notes by jumping on them or something, and eventually I was just focusing so much on platforming and not dying that I wasn't listening that much to the music. Which I think is a shame as it's called "Midi Madness".
I guess I'm being critical because I'm a developer and a musician, and while I really love the initial idea of the game, I may have been expecting something and was kind of frustrated (and that's my problem, not the game's). But, it's not my game, and overall I believe that it's a great entry and a cool take on the theme!
Looking forward to your next version with that second level!
