Cute!! I found it a bit difficult to read the notes at times, but this is a very solid and unique entry!

Developer

tysm! <3

Hahaha nice one. The whole time travel story got a good chuckle out of me. Rhythm games are always a fun time, and this is definitely a good rhythm game. It might've been good to utilise some kind of a better scoring system, possibly locking level progression behind a certain combo count, forcing the player to repeat a level if they didn't do so well. As it stands, you can just play the whole game without doing anything. Then again, maybe that kind of chill non-punishing feel is what you were going for, which is also totally valid. 

Developer

thanks so much!! so happy to hear that you enjoyed it as a rhythm game lover <3333  we feared that locking players out of levels or making them restart would be too harsh on beginners, but I totally get what you're saying! thanks for the feeback and tips ;D♥

I really liked the art, but I played it a second time doing absolutely nothing, yet still got to the end and while I did not have any points in any of the levels and the animations did change I could still beat the game and I think, that there should at least be some level of being able to mess up and having to  restart the game, because otherwise it isn't really all that fun in my opinion. I also think it would be nice if there was some more polishing, like the start button in the beginning responding to your mouse, or the arrows not just dissapearing when you press them (yes, i know something happens in the backgrounds, but when I see an arrow and press an arrow key I want to see something happen to that arrow as well) Also Dinosaurs and Humans coexisting together?! Impossible! (This is a joke, I am not doing anything like docking points or anything because of the dinosaur, I think it is actually drawn quite nicely), apart from that I do really like the art and sounds aswell

Developer

noted :D  we had our solo programmer doing his absolute best to make the game as visually pleasing and fun as he could for you <3    thank you for this detailed review, we appreciate your kind words and feedback & will internalize the wisdom..... ;))

Great game! Reminds me of OSU and Project diva. the art is really cute and the music fits! 

Developer

lolol u have no idea how much i kept going on about project diva as we made this game, it's our biggest inspo for sure <3  thanks for playing! we're glad u liked it :D

I loved the artstyle (kinda reminded me of Wario Ware with the fast changing between different scenes and the music) and each level having different fail animations was very funny and cute, Basically this game's style is awesome.

There needed to be more feedback when hitting notes (like a particle effect) cause the notes lack any oomph when you hit them.

Developer(+1)

hehe good catch :D warioware was totally one of our inspos! we're heppy to hear your feedback & we'll be taking your advice <3

So I beat the game doing nothing) Like <3
Seriously - it's impossible to track those directions at some point. And arrows sometimes overlap to make it even harder)
But the fact the game is "beatable" anyways is actually nice)

Developer

takes a few tries to get used to, like most rhythm games!  ♥    thanks for playing ^^

feel like the music needs to be a little louder compared to the sound effects, i was struggling to actually hear the songs i was supposed to be playing to the beat of. art is very cute, and the main mechanic makes for a really neat if brutally difficult rhythm game.

Developer

noted! <3  thanks for playing!!

super off topic but do u know which artist made your pfp? it's adorableeee

Loveee the artwork, i sucked so bad at this but i was having such a good giggle at some of the scenes. Super cute game! 

Developer(+1)

aww tysm!! <3 so glad u had fun :D

Lovely art and nice music! The way the timing is conveyed on the notes is really hard to read though, and the way the arrows are shaped makes it easy to misread them as the opposite direction when rushed with lots of them. Could work really well if tinkered with a bit more!

Developer

thanks for advice! we tried our best to make the game difficult while keeping the chart readable, so this is really important to us & we really appreciate your feedback <33

super cute game! but super difficult for me haha

Developer

hehe u can do it! :DD  tysm for playing <3

Submitted(+1)

I really like the art and music. as someone who's played a lot of osu tho i still found the rhythm game portion of this really hard, I think the arrows appearing in different spots really got to me

Developer

thanks for playing! it takes a while to get used to hehehe, u so got this :D

Submitted(+1)

Really lovely artwork, absolutely fantastic music, though I think something with how the arrows appear mess with my brain, I think having them not always appear in the same spots makes it nearly impossible for me to know which button to press, on top of them not being colored differently. I can imagine it's just a weird brain thing for me that just made every note look like a bit of a blurry mess to me but I would've liked some option to make them consistently appear in the same spot, or have differently colored arrows. Still quite fun despite that, a very lovely game

Developer(+1)

thank you so much!! <3  differently colored arrows are a great idea ;)

Submitted(+1)

Good job twin ;)

it was a little fast and tough to keep track of the which order to hit the arrows in but other than that...

Very cute art style, nice music, clean execution and love the different scenes through time <3

Very cute and nice art. The game is very fun. Good work!

Developer

ty! glad u had fun :D

Really cute! i like the music artwork and general style. the time it takes to get from one song to the next is perfect i think. altho it is a little hard to make out when i'm supposed to hit the notes, especially in that knife scene

Developer

thank you! we’ll keep that in mind :D

Submitted(+1)

Beautiful artwork and a neat take on the theme! I did find the gameplay itself to be pretty brutally difficult though, especially when you feel like you are supposed to time the keys because it is a rhythm game. But I played through the whole way because the whole aesthetic of the game was fantastic

Developer(+1)

aww thanks for playing! we appreciate your review :D
