This is a cool rhythm game! I like that it doesn't penalize mistakes. So over time I learned to play. It's fun! Beautiful art. Overall the game is well-made.

I love rhythm games, and this was a cool one. The visuals and audio help to both enhance the strangeness and encourage the player to keep their combo going. I think some inputs are too difficult with the directional keys and WASD layout, but it's an entertaining time overall. Awesome work.

Some people would call Superman for help, some would call Spider-Man, but I would definitely call the Odd Earworms! Really fun and nicely polished game. I like the style, the animations, and the whole gameplay feels pretty satisfying. Good job! :)

My favourite game I've played of the jam so far.  So many little details that work like the earworms, looking like the fingers you play the game with, the environments changing in the background,  the visual effects on a streak, and the music was wonderful, which is definitely key for a rhythm game to be enjoyable.

Small nitpicks: the sound effects for hitting notes are maybe a bit too loud by default and kinda overpower the music, especially when you're holding, which is a shame when the music is this good.

rhythm games like this aren’t really my thing so no need to take my feedback to seriously.

I think my biggest problem is with the key layout I would love it if the keys where positioned in a line next to each other on the keyboard as rhythm games with input layouts like this just confuse me as have finger that are not level with each other I prefer when rhythm games that have key presses feel more like playing a keyboard. the popping of the characters on a key press was alright however it was a bit jarring when they kept popping during held notes.

now for what I liked the visuals where great. I like the designs of the little finger creatures. the green cat is my favourite. the effects in the background where a nice addition. the key presses lined up nicely with the music.

average score 3.7/5

Never been great at rhythm games but I enjoyed this. I especially liked all of the effects that happen when you have a streak going, they are visually interesting but don't distract from the notes coming down too much

Loved the art style!

The art is charming as hell and I enjoyed this despite these typed of games games not being something I’m terribly good at. I loved the little touches in the backgrounds and functionally it’s very impressive. Awesome job!!
