Loved the collaboration of art and music here, the glowing mushroom sound cues were hilarious. The ant movements were mesmerising too! Great jam game. I guess the countdown here was the countdown to the marching band test?

This is a beautifully crafted game! I LOVE rhythm games, so this was def a game for me. The artwork is FANTASTIC, and the MUSIC!!! Loveeee! The animal crossing ref sounds for dialogue was for sure a bonus. Wonderfully done! Great job team!

So good!

A fun rhythm game! I enjoyed the little bit of story as well

I never expected glowing mushrooms on the log! Tons of craftsmanship on display on every piece of this game.

This is so polished!

Well its got great art and sound duh. Fun enough gameplay but i got no rhythm 

This is awesome.

Incredible ! Cute, beautiful, and easy to get in. Real nice touch to have added accessibility options.

I hope you get to the top of this year's jam !

i was grinning from ear to ear the whole time the art is fantastic, beyond polished, the sfx is great, the levels are beautifully designed, overall fantastic game, im so inspired ITS SO AMAZING genuinely my favourite one in the jam so far and ive played more than 50 games!

Gorgeous. The art is unreal for four days and the music is properly catchy, big Rhythm Heaven energy. Only shout is the big mushrooms blocking the view a bit in the later levels. Loved it.

Check out my game if you get a chance, a chess roguelike called Final Gambit: /jam/gmtk-jam-2026/rate/4813276

Ngl, the opening cutscene kinda jumpscared me to the point that I instantly alt+F4'd because of how immediate it was lol

Anyway that aside, really great game here. It probably doesn't really need to be said but the game's presentation is indeed phenomenal. I do have some issues with the visuals, but they don't take away from the fact that the art was a visual feast. The audio was also catchy as all hell.

I thought the tutorial for the beat was also pretty cool to let a player get used to the beat of each level. That and it also helped me know when exactly I needed to start following along. Having the mushrooms also helped ensure that things didn't get too monotonous either. That said, I can't really deny that even with the changes in tempo, the game kinda got a little too repetitive after the 2nd level. I kinda wished that there were more obstacles to watch out for, or maybe different variations of needing to follow along with the tempo ( Like maybe marching backwards in a certain section ? Idk really lol. Just an idea )

One thing I definitely wasn't a fan of though was how the large orange mushrooms kinda blocked your view in the last 2 levels. I think they covered a little too large an area. It mostly resulted in moments where I wasn't really sure if I had to turn or march forward. The same also kinda applies to when you're in a log. I was relying on the accompanying marching voice since I couldn't really tell where I was. Basically, the game has some minor problems with readability here and there. Nothing gamebreaking or anything, but something to keep note of imo

Still, y'all definitely put out something pretty cool here which is definitely my tempo. Kudos to the entire team

This genuinely might be perfect, from the narrative to the art to the sound to the gameplay all of it flows perfectly together, I simply cannot think of a flaw. Congrats to all of you for making this amazing game!

Everything about this game was absolutely fantastic. maybe my favorite in the Jam so far.  It's gorgeous, it's fun. simple, and elegant.  I need more levels . 

Wow I love everything about this game. From the art to the sfx and the narrator at the start. That's the best game I've seen so far. 

Where do I even start, first of all, I really REALLy like ants so that was already a bonus. Secondly, the art is gorgeous, the game feel is amazing and also addictive. I love the story as well, it is so freakin adorable!!! My favorite game in the jam for sure!

This is an absolutely adorable game, and a very fun rhythm game! Reminds me of rhythm heaven to the point I could see this being a rhythm game for either that or Bits and Bops. The plot was quite fun as well. The art is NEXT LEVEL, I love the colors and lighting; everything shines with a lustrious sheen, like tryouts are happening amongst the dew drops of the morning sunrise.

Overall, a delightful romp. I'd pay money for a custom chart editor to see remixes of this!

So beautiful, so cute, it's a fun little story, well scoped, that we're happy to follow. The art is just wonderful. The rhythm gameplay was sometimes a bit difficult or hard to read/remember, but the general experience is very charming !
