Very interesting idea, but in my gameplay it felt a bit buggy; the car disappears or keeps flashing on the screen. Overall it's very creative.
Nice execution of the waves theme and I really liked the visuals!
Clever implementation of the theme, never seen anything like it so far. A few times after restarting I think I died as soon as I reached the first building but didn't actually hit it 🤔I like the concept a lot though, just wished I was better at it haha
Difficult game, very innovative concept though
I love the music and the idea! But I'm bad at it. Well done !
y super nice idea, but we missing a tutorial here - after ~5 attempts i just have the feeling that im bad at the game ... :D
This game is HARD. I really love the idea though. I kept dying a few times and I admit it crashed on me too (and I have a feeling that was my fault), but anyway, super clever idea!
I'm having trouble finding a solution that doesn't go through buildings, sadly. I think this is such an amazing idea for a game though--building complex waveforms as a sum of simple individual waveforms is very interesting. I think making this more of a puzzle where several different waveforms are available to be summed into a path, and time doesn't progress until you "commit" to a path through the space you can see in front of you. Hearing the "solution" as a synthesized tone would be a nice touch on top of that!
The idea is really good. I tried many attempts, but it’s very difficult to even get past the first obstacles. There are moments where there’s nothing you can do. Maybe having a way to pause would help, so you have time to adjust the parameters, since sometimes you need to change 2 or 3 of them and there’s not enough time. Overall, great work!
I’m also facing issues, I tried many times either you die super fast cause the car spawns and falls off or the car spawns during main menu and you’re immortal but can’t really collect anything. I think the concept has potential, hope the issues can be solved in a later update of the game.
I'm getting the same issues as @aldoram5 and have the same feedback. It's an interesting concept!
I had the same issue as Wafflenaut Games described. Couldn't really play it due to what seems to be the main character vanishing off the screen within a second. The colour usage and the music was good and I have a sweet spot for item shops (as in the screenshot). Really wanted to play this but it's a shame that it seemed to be broken.
i really love the idea, but the game wasn't really working for me. i just died after 3 seconds i might just be bad lol
