That jester be shmoving. Too bad about the controls bugging / the instructions being wrong. Other than, I feel like the game is missing some juice to make everything feel a little bit more intense and fun. Also, in the moment when you change instructions, it'd be better if you pull the player's eyes towards the instructions, or flash something on screen telling you the new instructions

I thought that I can beat this game easily because I'm kind of good at Osu! Mania. But in the first attempt I only got 35/53. I'll tell my friend to try it
Cool idea and funky execution, quite a lot of fun and I enjoyed it. Would love to see it expanded upon in the future, text at the end did go off screen probably at fault of me having a funky resolution. Very cool!
Unlike most rhythm games where you just press the key it tells you too i liked how you had to do a bit of thinking based on the rules provided
Would be really cool to see it expanded upon with harder rules!
really neat game, i liked the premise a lot. the art is cute and the even odd mechanic is interesting. the controls being swapped from the intended scheme is unfortunate but fine.
good work!!
the song got a bit out of sync towards the middle and end but I enjoyed it nonetheless! wish the controls worked as it is very satisfying to hit the timing right!
I really liked the character! So fun! Havent played rhythm games in awhile, but it was nice game jam game!
Love the Jester, and the animation. Enjoyed the slowly increasing complexity, though I don't think all the keys were mapped right.
To me it felt like the actions were timed to an off-beat, which is fine if it was intentional, but I would have expected it to be on the on-beat
Cool rhythm game. The biggest prank the count pulled was giving wrong instructions.
[insert "if those kids could read they'd be very upset" meme here]. But jokes aside.
I was hoping there was more levels with different instructions. Overall it was fun and could be a fun concept to play with.
The controls aren't working properly, but I really like the art style! XD
It seems that the A and D keys are reversed, and the W key doesn't work. It was fun though!
