Really cool game! Feedback and sound design are awesome! The mechanics and the difficulty are well done! Art is top too! Really satisfying and fun game! Great job!
Super satifying game with gorgeous artwork, loved it! Scored Platinum as well, which for someone who is not great at rythm games, I will wear as a badge of honor! Awesome work!
Really awesome! As someone that plays.. too many rhythm games lmao, this felt quite solid to play in terms of inputs 👌 Did need to be more insync with the music tho!
A really nice game! It is very satisfying to hit the notes at the right time. Good job!
How do people make such beautiful games in 4 days?? Wow!
This game is very satisfying, one thing that I have to add however is that the "N" note feels a bit unfair? I don't know how to describe it but there's times where I feel I should've gotten a perfect N and it only gives me 250 points, maybe that's just me tho.
The artwork in this game is just perfect! I found myself replaying several times to enjoy the thrill of hitting the right notes. The effects could sync a bit better with the song, but it still felt so warm! It reminded me of Rhythm Heaven on GBA!
Thanks a lot for your really kind review 😊 We’re glad you enjoyed our game. But you will lose points by missing. And you will lose them exponentially ;) -500, -1000, -2000, -4000, -8000…
I honestly underplayed the game in my head when first opening it due to the base font, only to be blown away by the quality of the actual interaction and game feel! The feedback whenever you get an input perfectly feels FANTASTIC, it feels like the game is giving me a round of applause and 50 dollars whenever I make any correct input, and the input system seems very well realized, although it does go out of sync if there's any freezes as the music continues as normal while the visuals freeze. I've made a rhythm game before as well so I know how annoying that issue is, and I've honestly yet to find a solution to it. Overall though this is a very well done rhythm game, excellent job!
Tier: Evil 1761600 points. I think that's preatty good! I love rhythm games and this is in fact the first one i see in this jam haha. The inputs are in sync with the music although got a couple misses where i think i did alright but maybe i'm just bad! (also i know making this kind of inputs is not easy). Art and animation also super high quality. Theme on point. Nice work!
This was really cool. Did the difficulty increase as I did perfect loops?
One thing I would say is that it would be nice with a song with a stronger beat to get into the rythm a little easier.
I got a Platinum performance! :)
The Difficulty only increases if you got enough correct inputs at the end of the current level. I Agree with you on the music, we were quiet in a rush and didn’t really had the time to make a good level design… Happy that you enjoyed it tho ! thanks for your review !
Very fun to play especially when it picks up in speed by the end.
Very neat little rhythm game, the way you've got the forging synced so well to the beat and the way the sword upgrades through the tiers are both super satisfying. Good submission!
Fun game ! I would suggest to add a pause menu, and to let the user pick the keys for the notes because I J N wasn't quite instinctive for me, or maybe do an easier combination on the same level of the keyboard like J K L, however awesome design and cool concept, congrats !
Yeah more menus will be a higher priority next time 😅 Thanks for playing our game !
I really enjoyed your game. The only thing that bugged me was the music didn't seem to be in tact with the input zone. Other than that I love the implementation of 'loops' being musical loops. The artwork and SFX/Music is great, and it was nice hearing the music become even more epic as my combo chain got higer. Great submission! :)
Thanks a lot ! Yeah we didn’t have much time for the actual level design… Glad you still enjoyed the game :)
I really enjoyed the build up in the music, right at the end I started to feel like a forge master! I'm terrible at rythm games, but I still enjoyed this one!
