This is so charming! The rhythm beats matched the music so well and ants marching together is Of Course! such a great premise for a rhythm game.

That was cute! Thanks for making it easier for people like me who can't play rhythm games very well. Probably the most polished out of all the polished games in the jam

This is the last game I'm rating this jam, and fittingly the first one I'm giving 5/5 in everything. Usually, in rhythm games, I get really confused and disoriented because I can't process the direction I'm supposed to press in time, but somehow recontextualizing it in the way this game does, making me move in the same direction as the line in front of me, made a world of difference and made it possible for me to actually do well. This is so creative, the art is gorgeous, the story is simple but effective, and everything around this is so lovely, it's the perfect jam game and a fitting end to my ratings. Great stuff, to everyone who worked on it!

I’ve been playing an awful lot of Rhythm Heaven Groove lately, and this could easily stand toe to toe with those minigames. Fantastic job, no notes 🎵
