Haha, adored the art and the theme, very clever and full of personality. Only real thing I'd want is more pictures of the bard aha he's great.
Thanks!! 😁😁
Fun seeing a rhythm game where the goal is to actually stop music from playing! Feel like I haven't seen that before :0 . I thought this was a really cute game though and made it to 6:48 before getting curious what would happen if i just led the bard play lol.
Thanks for playing it! Yeah, our main goal was to try this anti-guitar hero thing, so we didn't spend as much time in balancing it as we should - once you get the hang of it, it becomes too easy. Still, I hope you had a good 6 minutes and 48 seconds experience (that's what she said)
I was wondering why the sleep meter was so robust... I wonder no more. That was the mother of all difficulty spikes xD
A fun concept! Also I'm surprised to see a rythm game, these are rare. Plays pretty nice, the theme implementation is very funny, liked this a lot overall !
I'm glad you like it. Thank you so much for the feedback! 😁😁
solid, simple, efficient. Me liek
Thanks!!
This was really fun! Missed notes sound so bad they kind of made me panic and miss more notes haha. Great job!
Thank you so much for playing it!
It's pretty simplistic as far as rythm games go, but I enjoyed it. It fits the theme well, and the artwork looks really nice! I would like to note that it's pretty hard to lose considering how little the sleep bar moves on a miss, especially since the difficulty only increases to a point, but tbh that's a pretty negligible issue. Overall great game! My score was 5:39.
Hey! Yeah, it does need some balancing 😅 thanks for the feedback!!
Love the idea. Also always likes rythm games, so thats a point for you :D
I think one improvement would be to have the button presses/rythm not only be on beat. Right now its always on the first beat. Some offbeat variations/other rythms would give variety to the gameplay (at least I think so :D)
Great visuals, good music: fitting the sleep theme very good.
I liked it. I got 2:39 minutes asleep ;)
This is definitely a good way to make it less repetitive. Thanks for the feedback!
I had a tinsy winsy problem about how it was already getting repetitive within 1 minute of playing. The theme implementation was good, but theme would've been better if the bard was playing his lute as a lullaby, to keep the "monster"(?) asleep.
Nonetheless, everything is polished and nothing was glitching or anything, well done on making this!
Thanks for the feedback! The idea was to add a twist to the genre instead of having a regular guitar hero-like game... maybe we should have gone in a different direction, but we had to try 😁
