Good one  man

Unfortunately, I’m having the same issue as another commenter: the Windows build crashes immediately on startup and opens the Unreal Engine Crash Reporter.

I tried a few different ways of launching the game and also ran the included Visual C++ Redistributable installer, but it said that I already have the latest version installed. The crash still happens every time.

Sadly, I wasn’t able to play the game, so I won’t be submitting a rating. If you need the full crash message or the folder with the crash reports, I can send them to you.

It’s a shame, because I was interested in trying the game.

Thanks for trying! I wish I could repro…

I’ll take whatever you can give me. :)

Finally, my thousands of hours of percussion training with a metronome has paid off!!!! :)

The tutorial was not very clear - Maybe instead of “Press keys to count down at perfect one-second intervals”, it should say “Press the “Count” key at perfect one-second intervals”. That would make it clearer, since the line below it doesn’t have any mention of “Count”. I failed the first few times because I pressed count once and waited 5s to press mark

That said, once I figured it out, my quarternote = 120bpm muscle memory came in clutch and I breezed through all of the levels without failing. I knew that practice would be useful :P

I don’t understand the chart for what the leniencies are - they seem kinda all over the place? It seems to imply high school is the hardest one, with a requirement to be within 625 milliseconds, but college (the next level) allows you to be within nearly an entire minute? And pro at 3.125 seconds would be more leniant than elementary school at 1.25 seconds. I’m guessing there are typos

The art is nice! Though having sound would definitely be appreciated

Kudos for providing a linux build :) 🐧 I had to chmod +x the launch shell script but it worked fine after doing that.

Thanks for the detailed write-up! I definitely had more planned in terms of gameplay/sound. Definitely might have been some bugs… 🫠 I’ll tell my daughter you liked the art. Thanks again for playing!

It's short and simple which is good, but some sfx would really improve it. I think the art is definitely the best part. The college level players have that Gojo stare that burns into my soul.

Developer

Agreed! I ran out of time and steam. Thanks so much for playing - I’ll tell my daughter you enjoyed the art! 😊

I couldn't run the game :/ it chashed while opening. I downloaded the windows build.

Developer

Oh no! I’m sorry! Thanks for trying!

Developer

It’s possible that you need to install the C++ redistributable libraries. <root>\Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us\vc_redist.x64.exe - I’ll add this to the install instructions.
