really novel game idea, haven't seen it through the jam yet! could definitely have a stronger sense of progression. also make it clear how berries are gained from the actions of the player. enjoyed it though, what an interesting idea! well done!

Am not much of a music guy but this is fun and interesting! Great art style and cool take too. Great job!
Nice game! I absolutely love how cute the characters looks! The game manages to be fun, even for people that don't know much about music, had some issues with placing, and especially removing notes. Great work!
This was very cute! I enjoyed the music aspect of the game. Probably enjoyed it a bit too much that I forgot to put up the tents.
Such a cute little game and you really made it easy for someone like me who has no idea how to write music to make something that sounded ok! Loved the little animal characters and the writing as well, nice work :)
I really like the concept of a game centered around creating music, and I was really impressed by all the different instruments to play with. Art was really charming too. Awesome job
I really liked the vibe of it and had a lot of fun throwing a little song together. For some reason I had some trouble removing notes. Clicking them didn't make them go away immediately. Maybe I misunderstood something about the mechanics?
Really nice! I love the idea of putting a whole festival on while composing tunes. Super rich idea with a lot of potential. And the forest critter theming is really sweet. I wanted to be able to use 8th notes for the melodic instruments as well but I understand why it was limited to the drums. Well done!
Thanks for playing!
Yeah we had to hard wire each note in (so 28 per instrument) otherwise it would have been even tighter on time... If we give it another run after the jam definitely will be upgraded for 8th notes :)
The critters do have a great festival vibe, plus they leave the forest clean after!
Cute game - I feel like I made a catchy tune without having to try too hard. Put a smile on my face. Great work!
These little animals are so cute! Such an adorable art style and very creative! I really love seeing the little creatures running around on the screen, and I think all the tents look fantastic too! Plus, it's really relaxing to play. Good job!

Looks and sounds great. I ended up just playing with the sequencer the whole time and wasn’t really paying much attention to the rest of the game haha. Maybe some sort of phase mechanic where the you only get one instrument track at a time and slowly build up the song would give the player more of a chance to interact with everything else going on and help the pacing a bit. Also, really good work on the characters and dialogue, very charming!
This is the only game I've played that used music loops for the theme! Incredibly cute and fun.
This is incredibly adorable. I love the art so so SO gosh darn much. First time I've gotten big into a music-based game!!
Very good design. I don't understand the music arrangement but I can enjoy the game!
great loop, creative freedom of creating my song, artsy and beautiful
music loop is a genius idea!
one of the best entries ive seem!! congrats!! ☺️
About crashed my game with so many little critters running around haha. To be honest, I'm not really sure what I was doing regarding the loop? If I click and dragged, many of the instruments turned red, and it seemed like if I just placed them individually that wouldn't happen. But to be honest, I couldn't tell if the music was making a difference at all. Also I placed a bunch of basic tents the first go round, only to find I couldn't replace them with better ones later, which left me with nothing to do really, because all the lots were full. Then I restarted and added better ones and planned better, but I'm not sure what they did differently? I'm sure there was something going on, but maybe if the different tents and the music loops gave a bit more feedback to show what I was achieving by doing it one way or another. Fun aesthetic though! And I played it until my computer sounded like a jet engine and couldn't take it anymore lol
Thanks for playing!
We never actually put an upper limit on critters so would love to know how many caused it to really start struggling!
There was a lot of spreadsheet maths going into the whole berry system but in the end we decided to have it all hidden to encourage users to play as apposed to optimise. There was also food/merch tents but we ran out of time to implement them :'(
Great work ! Love the art and the narrative, and really enjoyable even if you know nothing about music :)
