Oh man, this is tough! Haha really hard to control where you're going. I think the space input/blast having more directional power would help the player feel a bit more in control. Very fun art style and concept!

This is just the combination of rage game and music rhythm game. I really appreciate that the bass bone makes notes in tune with the music :D
This game has great troll energy, it's frustrating but kinda addictive to keep trying and trying again lol. I do wish there was like one checkpoint on level 3 (and maybe the others past it, haven't gotten to them), because it can be slow to get past all the same obstacles you've already learned just to get one more go at the hard part.
Goof music, fun art, and an interesting mechanic. I just wish that the game itself was more forgiving and easier to control. I felt like the long part of the instrument kept getting caught on things and sending far in the other direction. This in tandem with the tight traversal spaces and restarting at the start of the level felt very tedious. I also loved the idea of the character making a sound with the music when you press the button, I just with the sound gelled more with the song. Overall good job and congratulations!
I think this game has a lot of potential. The movement mechanic was difficult, but really fun. I overall liked the hand-drawn aesthetic, but it could use some polish / refinement. I don't know why Bass the bass swallowed the trombone, but the concept is very fun. I think he is spinning too quickly for me to enjoy his character art, though.
Fun game, challenging! The artwork is unique and whimsical! Good job!
I thought it was over all very difficult, but despite that I was astonished how easy to pick up and understand the player controls were. I also really liked the music in the game and the fish flopping sound effect was a nice touch.
AMAZING. But really hard! I loved the simple hand-drawn art style and the music. Reminded me of Happy Wheels for some reason. I had to zoom in a bit and wished there was a full-screen button. And boy did I say it's hard? I got past the first level and a bit through the second level. Might try again later :)
