I've beaten all of the penguins to death! Took me a long time, but I was able to squeeze my way past level 29. Super fun wave shooter, I was determined to see it through. I love the advanced movement needed to really pull it off, made me feel incredibly slick!
With all the hand crafted waves, it shocked me to see you're a solo dev! This is incredibly impressive, especially given the advanced music/instrument mechanics. Great job :)
Wow, impressive! I think that makes you the first person other than me to beat the game. Congrats 🎺! And thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed the game.
Daaang this gets a perfect score from me! Fun and difficult but simple, very cute, musical, awesome characters... major banger!!!!!!
Nice game! I like how the mechanics keep evolving and you gain upgrades over time.
Love this game i will be back to beat it. There is some cheese for grinding enemies so I can get past lvl 29
There is definitely some cheese potential in a few of the waves...🧀
I'm glad you enjoyed the game! I'd love an update if you do manage to beat it. The last stage is really tricky!
truly the slickest game of all time! So glad to see some jazz representation in this jam! however i couldn’t really enjoy the soundtrack/sfx because whenever i swapped colors the sound cut was pretty harsh. I nice fade would defs make it feel better! gameplay wise its fun and simple with a unique premise! I enjoyed it very much great game :)
Very impressive! This felt like a fully fledged game one would find on the Nintendo E-shop. The color swapping mechanic is super, and then you've got some really nice enemy variety! Then all the upgrades feel great, and the animations and sound effects, just fantastic stuff! It all really makes you feel like a penguin in a musical war.
Unfortunately got OOM and game crashed on wave 29, but that's what I get for playing the web build.
THIS IS SO FUN!!! Def one of the BEST games in this jam! I made it to wave 29 iirc? I really love this lol
Thank you so much! Also, impressive performance! It brings me a lot of joy to see that someone made it that far. There is a bug where it displays wave 29 twice, but the second wave 29 is the final real wave. I haven't seen anyone beat the last wave yet, but you're the second person to make it there to my knowledge. Congrats🐧🎺
Oh well then I might have been at the final wave because I think the hint said something about a big wave or something. Excellent game!
I have never played a game like this and it is really fun, it's goofy, it's cool looking, it's silly and that's a huge quality lmao
Adorable game, good luck on the jam! :D
I thought there were too many entries in the Jazz Penguin Action Tower Defense Genre, but I was wrong. The world need one more!
Excellent game. Slickness off the charts!
What a musical way to protect your fishbucket :D Cool idea and good execution. Great job!
Slick.
Really cute different penguins.
Super fun and original game! made it to wave 15
I love the idea and the method of switching between colours / shooting buttons is cool!
Simple, fun, and utterly adorable.
I would unironically buy a full version of this game. Such a neat concept! I love the walking animations too.
What a lovely game! I love the trumpet weapon.
Fun idea, I wish it had a bit more depth and progression, but it's really cute! :)
Very fun gameplay loop! Even after failing a wave I felt like I was learning and getting better. A few QOL changes would make the game even more fun
With all of these elements combined, this is a really creative take on the theme! I love the penguin models and the little spin your penguin does when it changes colors! The spin to attack the bowling pin penguins was a little tricky, but overall, a very slick game!
Awesome concept and cute game. I totally kept sliding at the penguins to take them out and flying into the ocean!
