Great game. Art, aminiation, sound and music are solid. Controls are simple, but addictively tricky. My only feedback would be to include a level countdown. I hope I'm not giving too much away, but I didn't know there were only 9 levels, so a level countdown would be good to track progress (and link to the theme! :-)). It took me 12 minutes to get to level 9, and the final  animation was a very cool surprise. Great job. 

Surprisingly enjoyable. I'm not musician, but this game actually made me feel like  I was jamming. Nice.   

Very funny intro, that really added to the narrative. A seriously good and original game concept. Well executed. Like others, I'd like a way to skip or speed up the intro when starting a new session. I also think limiting the keys to just letters and ignoring case would give it more of a game feel. I think this is a great game. I'd love to see this do well in a jam like GMTK, because it think this is the type of game design that GMTK targets  - that is a game is creatively linked to a theme and to delivery a truly original and very enjoyable game. Well done! 

This is awesome. Great interpretation of the theme. So good to see really original and unique game design and game play. A few bugs to iron out in later development. Like others, I'd like to see this built into a fully developed game without the constraints of a 96 game jam deadline. This is a hidden gem. My favourite so far. Well done.    

This is so good. Really nice to see some real originality in style and creativity. Like others, I think the missing piece is are story or motive. Excellent!  

Amazing to have built this so quickly. It took me almost as long to work out how to play (just joking). Music and art really suited the game. Very impressive. 

A nice take on an old concept.

Nice interpretation of the Jam theme. I really like the artwork. Would have liked to have so variation on the basic game play. 

Great first game. Would like to see it finished. 

Nice  game. Always freezes when starting, but no issues after that. Music and artwork good, but I think more effort on these aspects would improve overall enjoyment. Nice use of physics - for relatively simply game play, there are sections that take time to work through. Great job. 

Wow! Wow! Wow! Like others have  said, starting out was really difficult. I was actually about to give up, but then I worked out the basic control strategy (especially sliding) and realized how awesome this game actually is. I was hooked! I'd love to play this using my gaming controller. Amazing that you created this in 48 hours.  I hope others take the time to really play this game - it's a winner for me! Awesome game!  Great job!

I really liked this. At first I was a bit frustrated by the AWSD controls, until I realized that was that was part of the challenge. Great job!

Nice work - but I still can't work out the connection of the game to the GMKT2023 theme? Like other have said, in game tutorial would be good, and some music and sounds effects. 

Kind of fun, but could use improved control design - I found spamming the controls was actually the most effective approach, and remove  any threat of the game ever ending. But a neat little game with good basic sound effects. 

Cool game. Nice interpretation of the Jam theme. 

Really cool. Great game play and design. I like how you've incorporated the artwork and photos. And the introduction and game story work well and add to  overall enjoyment. Great job.

I feel like I've seen or played something like this before. But theme and music make it enjoyable to play.  Needs an AI opponent though.

Well made. Could be improved with more sophistication in game play strategy. 

Wow, really cool game, well done. Your tutorial is great - it's a bit wordy, but it helped me to pick up the game play first go, and then stick around to try to beat your high score (which I wasn't able to do). I agree with a lot of the suggestions for improvement - but this is a really impressive game for a 48 hour jam.  A fun and challenging game, with good bug-free mechanics and a great soundscape.
