Ranked from 30 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

Creative Vision / Rationale / How Did You Incorporate the Theme
We hope to bring players a delightful audiovisual experience through fast-paced action. The game is inspired by an online meme about the famous painting 'The Creation of Adam,' in which Adam is replaced by a mischievous kitten swiping its paw directly at God. We decided to use this meme as the prototype to create a fun game.

Such a cute cat rhythm game! It’s hard to believe the music was made in only two weeks — — it’s still echoing in my head while I’m writing this.

I noticed a small bug: it seems the two buttons aren’t mutually exclusive. If I press both at the same time, I can hit every note.
But honestly, I kind of hope this trick stays — it’s very kind to rhythm game nerd like me :P

The visuals and music are very nice. I was immediately excited to play upon opening the game. I agree with the other comments about adding more feedback for hitting notes in the rhythm game. The cutscene at the beginning was super cute :)

I'm excited to play again once the game has even more polish. Good job!!

感谢你的喜欢,我们会继续优化,在项目解冻之后带来更好的视听体验!

cute game with cute music! as someone else has mentioned it, the feedback for hitting the correct notes could be better accentuated with some sounds. the music could also do with some reduction in volume as it's too loud! this game also made me realise that i am not great at rhythm games haha - well done!

感谢你的喜欢!默认音量确实有些吵闹,不过在开始界面可以进行设置,后面会提供sfx和bgm分别的设置选项;关于音符手感和难度,我们这边正在优化,希望项目解冻后能给大家更舒服的游戏体验!

Thank you for liking it! The default volume is indeed a bit noisy, but it can be set on the start interface, and later options for setting sfx and bgm will be provided separately; We are currently optimizing the feel and difficulty of the musical notes, and hope that after the project is unfrozen, it can provide everyone with a more comfortable gaming experience!

Cute pictures! I really like the music you created, and I honestly think I can listen forever~ I also like that, as a rhythm game, it actually has a bit of story/world setting — that feels pretty new and refreshing. And I think the connection with the theme is very solid.

The main improvement I’d ask for is more feedback when you hit the notes perfectly — maybe sound effects or small visual effects (like how Taiko has clear hit SFX). Right now, it’s mostly just seeing the notes disappear, and that doesn’t feel as satisfying.

Also, I feel like the charting/arrangement doesn’t always match the music’s rhythm: when you need to press space, it often doesn’t land on the beat. If that timing could be aligned better, the whole experience would feel much smoother.

非常感谢你的认可和宝贵建议!关于打击反馈和节奏对齐的问题我会认真优化,感谢支持。

Thank you so much for the kind words and helpful feedback! I really appreciate your suggestions on hit feedback and timing, and I’ll keep them in mind for future improvements.

Breaking my space and enter key has never felt so good. Super fun rhythm game, thanks for making it! I wasn't sure if I'm just bad, but a lot of the tracks felt out of sync with the inputs themselves, but either way I had fun.

这是因为一个在玩家输入控制器中很难受的bug导致的连锁反应,我们正在极力优化,解锁之后会第一时间放出优化成果

This is due to a chain reaction caused by a bug that is difficult for players to input into the controller. We are working hard to optimize it and will release the optimization results as soon as it is unlocked

I've been playing rhythm games since PaRappa The Rapper, all the way to Rhythm Doctor, and I was very excited to play your game after reading your creative vision. Let me tell you, I laughed so hard for the opening story.  The narrative options in the dialogue before you start each level was so fun and funny and I really enjoyed every single level. The music for the Ark level is definitely my favorite and it had me bouncing up and down in my seat, while I was mashing my keyboard.  From someone that has played rhythm games for years, I have to say that the game is a little too difficult and too fast for someone playing for the 1st time. It would have been nice to gradually increase the speed and difficulty the more you progress, but that didn't stop me from completing your game.  Also, most of the time I was playing, it didn't really feel like the button pressing and the beats were in sync, so that made it a little harder to follow. I still have a great time playing. Great work!
