Design Statement
The theme track made me think of someone searching for their friend. In a musical adventure kind of way. The theme also made me think of a music box. A bond between two people. So I interpreted that as a kind of sprite girl searching for her friend. Going through ruins to find her.

I liked the idea of a musical element. So I added musical notes as part of the journey. With each step forward progressing the melody. And then at the end of the game I used the theme track to show what happened through still images.

Game Instructions (launch steps, controls, and gameplay overview)
Controls: Arrow keys to move forward, backwards or left/right. "C" to cast a spell to calm creatures. "Space" to jump".

Gameplay: Move forward to find your friend. Capture notes, calm creatures, avoid obstacles and jump over debris. All to make your way to the end.

I liked this rhythm game.  It was simple and I played it twice. first game I played twice.  I wanted to see how fast I could do it. The controls were a little unresponsive. But, that could just be me.
