This seems like it would be fun against another player! Unfortunately I didn’t have another player to play this with so I just played by myself. I also think a gamemode where instead of pressing the letter on the rhythm, you press the letter as soon as possible would be fun in this game.
This was amazing! I was playing against myself, lol. The rhythm and timing were spot on. I like the UI.. I could see this on a mobile device. Nice job!
It’s one red cookie—sorry, potato. Very cute and fun :) I played it with a friend and gave it five stars for enjoyment because I won. :D
fun, just played with my partner. The controls seem a little buggy though, i swear I was pressing the right key yet it couldn't as incorrect.
Fun little genre mashup, I played alone but I can see it working great in multiplayer!
I love the art style, it’s super cute! The controls and sound design both feel fantastic. It took me a few runs to realize I needed to press the keys to the rhythm instead of just mashing them as fast as I could! Also, it’d be awesome if the feedback for hitting the right notes/keys felt a bit punchier.
We would be super honored if you gave our GMTK Jam entry a try as well!

It is not a co-op game :D. Nice responsive UI, fun game. There is a lot of space for improvement in the audio part, using only the not-so-pronounced metronome is waste of potential. It would be nice to add at least one more mechanic on top and give advantage to the starting player.
Really fun! It’s rare to see a two-player co-op game in a Game Jam, and I really enjoyed the experience.
At first, I didn’t fully understand the rules—I missed the small text at the bottom and didn’t realize I needed to pass things to the other player, so I was just pressing buttons on the screen for a while. But once we understood how it worked, my partner and I had a great time playing together.
The audio and visual polish are also really impressive, and the little potato in the middle is adorable!
the page looks cool, I just wish it could be played on mobile :(
Yea... I wish I had more time to do that.
