How does your game represent Mode?
mode: a set of musical notes forming a scale and from which melodies and harmonies are constructed.

In my game you will manipulate melodies and harmonies to maneuver your way through a tricky obstacle course!

note: Some people have had some problems with inputs registering, Ive got a fix but it wont be usable until after the jam. Thanks!

Super cool puzzles! Just wish my keyboard could press those 3 keys at once to play more of the game!

HOW MANY FINGERS DO YOU HAVE?????

Melody temple is my favorite game I've played so far! I played it all the way through, and I thought the difficulty was perfect. I finished in 29:19.020 with 8/9 music notes and 112 deaths. I would happily pay to play more of this absolutely insane, creative platformer. I hope Dunkey plays it to completion on stream! You absolutely deserve some public appreciation for the colossal effort that it must've taken you to build and design this gem.

A good concept for some good réflexion and platforming action! Visually simple but it does have its charm ;)

Ahhhhh It's so beautiful! I wish I could get past the second gate. I think it's a problem that my keyboard has, it likes to ghost pressin certain keys together. If you added the ability to remap keys, this would probably fix the problem. For now I'll just have to be sad that I couldn't play more.

Ok, now I've heard this issue from multiple people! Im going to look into it and push an update with key mapping. Thank you for the feedback!

Ahhh!! I didnt realize we cant make updates until the voting ends...

A fix is ready and hopefully youll give it a try when the jam is over!

This is such a cool game! I couldn't get past the second gate though. May have been my laptop but for some reason I couldn't press x, v and b at the same time. Perhaps it's some kind of conditional branch error? Whatever though. I'm giving a good rating. This was nice.

Hey thanks for playing! Sorry to hear that, I haven't seen that before. Not sure what would cause it, maybe something with your system registering a different shortcut?

Glad you enjoyed what you were able to play ^_^

I liked the concept a lot, thought it could use some story to explain the eating(?) of something to activate the platforms.
