That was very funny the characters are cute and the idea was creative, though there were times if the piano or the bass (I think it was) was selected it was shooting at a specific spot and not directly at the enemies, Idk if intentional or not but really really good concept!!!!

Thank you! We should have made a tutorial haha, but your piano and bass shoot towards your mouse position.

I’m terrible at rhythm games, but I thought the idea was really good, after struggling a bit, I managed to play the song. Cool concept, congrats!

Developer

Honestly I think it's probably just a user error but I found this incredibly difficult to understand. I wasn't sure if there was a time when I should be pressing the instruments to get them to play, some seemed to stack, others... didn't. I love the art and the concept, but I think it just went over my head! Also, getting attacked by demonic, magic-wielding musical John Wick was a nice touch :D

Developer

We really should have made a tutorial yeah. But thank you so much!

Is that Keanu??

The sprite animations are really well-done, good job on those! It’s a little tough to dodge the little musical notes, thought that’s a skill issue on my part.

Developer

haha perhaps... Thank you so much!

I found it a little unclear on how to choose cards, an interactive tutorial would be good! Cool idea though, I would enjoy it more if I understood it better :)

A tutorial would indeed have been nice, we sadly didn't have time for that anymore. Thank you though :)

What a fun concept! At first, I didn't know I could move and assumed the cards meant it was turn-based combat rather than a more dynamic fight... so I died pretty quickly. But once I caught on, it was a silly time!

Developer

Thank you! Glad you figured out you could move haha, maybe a tutorial would have been useful.
