How does the game fit the theme?
The crowd serves as the primary source of distraction, reacting with claps and cheers that may mislead players from the actual beat. Players can only successfully finish the performance by resisting the crowd's distractions and staying on beat.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

Cool game! Was fun even though I wasnt very good at it haha. I would have appreciated a volume control menu, but otherwise great job.
Fun rhythm game. I liked how the crowd was the thing we couldn't trust. Good job to the team.
Super addicting xD i was pleasantly surprised to find a rhythm game especially one with this kinda cute cosy vibe
I didn't expect to encounter a rhythm game. Very refreshing and beautiful!
This is such a creative interpretation of the theme! The art is so cute, and I love the beach setting. Easy to understand gameplay mechanics. Really fun play!
Oh, this was a really pleasant experience! At first, though, I was confused — I tried to visually catch the notes in the circle, thinking that the crowd claps were meant to throw me off rhythm. It turned out that some notes are fake, and here lies a small issue: it's not always clear what the time gap is between the rhythm you're supposed to hit and the moment you actually need to press. Usually in rhythm games, this is conveyed through sound + visuals. Here, the visuals deliberately deceive the player to fit the theme, so timing isn't so much difficult as it is unclear.
I saw a good suggestion in the comments that I fully support — make the fake notes visually distinct from the real ones. Just to clarify, this is important because it's often unclear when to start playing the beat, and the beat itself isn't always clearly audible.
Other than that, I really enjoyed it — the graphics are lovely.
Cool game, got lots of miss but was fun doing it
Really solid game! As a rhythm game enthusiast, i loved it.
love this, the art is super duper cute, i really really enjoy the music, like I would listen to these tunes on an avg day too, really nice.
I am rubbish at rhythm games so I struggled hard to keep track- the devious extra notes caught me constantly you really have to lockin, at some points I was playing eyes-closed to focus on JUST the music.
I t was nice to see a creative twist on the genre :D
Really really good idea, those wrong notes flying by got me quite a lot in the beginning. If you really focus on the music it becomes a bit easier but the distraction still is there. Overall solid presentation.
