Really nice concept, however I has some trouble with understanding the pattern ; I thought it was too fast for me, so I ended up trying to recreate them in disordeer to see if something changed, but no. The tutorial didn't help me either, but I guess it was because the rapid pattern confused me. Like the idea behind he game though, I hope you can expand on it.
Sorry the visibility right now isn't very good. You really have to watch the Indicators that are different colours (Yellow, Purple, Red etc.) out of these Indicator come Notes with the same colour , but I will see if I can improve the visibility and slow down the rise of the notes. Thanks for your feedback.
I love your take on the theme and that extra element before the memory game! The written tutorial really helped because I thought I had to hit the notes that was next to the scoreboard and thought it went too fast. I had the most fun with the drill mechanic and I wonder if you can expand on that, still really solid game!
Thanks a lot for your feedback, I've already improved the game a little bit and removed the clicking part to make the drilling more essential and will upload it as soon as the rating period is over. I will also look if I can add even more to the drilling part. :D
-cute game well done dude !! i liked the game concept really great work !
-the music epic !! the game design my be improved a llitle bit
-overall nice game !! ^^
btw i rated ur game can u do the same pls ?? and thx !!
Sure thanks a lot for your feedback :D
Nice looking game, music is is nice and chip tuney! I was a little confused even with the instruction on the page but once I got the hang of it was fun :)
Thanks a lot I know it's hard to get into, but thanks for your effort nevertheless :D
Cool art and audio!
Thanks a lot :P
It was a really nice game. I liked the idea of a memory game. The sounds were awesome. There is one thing that should have been made - instead of making holes and clicking why not just make holes. Background was minimal and good.
Thanks for your feedback I improved the game after getting so much valuable feedback in the last few days and the new version has the annoying clicking part removed as well as improved visibility.
It was an innovative spin on flute minigame, though not an interesting one to me i'm afraid. It didn't made sense to me why there even was drill mechanic, it wasn't fun and didn't served making gameplay interesting nor better in any way. It would be good if there was atleast some lore behind this mechanic so it would explain its concept for being there. Not the best solution but that's atleast something.
Well done with music.
I've added the Drill mechanic as a twist, but in the end it served little to no purpose besides adding to the theme. I'm working on yhe game right now to remove the clicking and make the drilling more essential and for your take on lore, It could be interesting (The flute could be cursed or magical) and I'll see if I can change the game so that it tends to more peoples whishes. Thanks for your feedback :P
Interesting idea, I've never seen a flute game before! The tutorial was hard to follow, and like others I found having to repeatedly re-drill holes to be tedious. The core concept of having the player play music is good though, and your background music was fun to listen to!
Thanks for your feedback it seems that I really need to change that. :P
Interesting implementation of the theme! It took several tries to get through the tutorial though, and I had to read the description to figure out how to play and what I was doing wrong.
Drilling holes into a flute to play them is an interesting idea, but it got a bit tedious having to drill the same holes over and over again, at least with having to let go of the drill, click the hole you just drilled, then pick up the drill again. Felt like there's too many steps you have to do. Maybe skip the extra clicks and only use the drill to play the notes?
The concept is interesting and original though, hope you find a way to make it even more fun! Oh, and the music was catchy!
Thanks a lot I will look I've I can change some things to make it more fun :D
Very Creative design and theme implementation.Awesome Game, really liked it.
I hope you like my game too!
Thanks a lot for your kind feedback.
Not easy to understand the rule at first but when I figured it out I found that interesting.
I revamped the tutorial to make it clearer and I will upload it as soon as the rating period is over. Still thanks for your feedback.
Awesome graphics, i kept clicking the notes while the drill was next to them so i kept losing till i figure it out through the comments ^^ Very fun after you understand the mechanics :)
Yeah I know that it can be needlessly complicated, still thx a lot for your kind feedback :D
Very entertaining game x'D. i'm glad reading some comments so i know what i have to do, and once you know it its all fun. The hardest part for me is to drill the hole since my mouse sensitivity is kinda suck haha, but i find a clever way to do it, i drill vertically, so even the note isn't suppposed to be pressed, i drill it anyway, and its fine on the game.
And that comes the other difficulty of your game, which is the note back ground that falling down, make me must really see what notes come from flute, maybe you guys plan this for the background, dang, can't beat my 8 point TvT, i always forget the last note haha.
I really like how you interpreted the theme :),
really cool game and fun music, rated <3
Thanks a lot, it was intentional to add the background to distract the viewer and because i just like the effect, but I can understand that it can be hard to see. I'll see after the jam finished if i can add some more visibility with Unitys 2D lighting system and some gloom effect.
Really cool idea and I love the graphics as well as audio, however the pattern displays extremely quickly so I don;t have time to remember it, and I can't tell what the start of the pattern was so I would always get it wrong. If you slow down the pattern and add some sort of indicator that it is repeating then this would be a very cool game because the idea is great! Also I am in love with the music, well done! :D
EDIT:
I just realised that the pattern isn't the big note at the bottom of the screen! The pattern is the little notes coming out of the flute.
Ok, now I totally understand the game and it's actually extremely fun! Well done! :D I'm so sorry I didn't understand it before, but now I actually really enjoyed and and this is a great game! You should be very proud :)
The problem is I made some small adjustments to the tutorial already, which could be helpful. But i can't upload it right now but after the Review is finished I will immediately. Thanks for your kind feedback as well I was really happy with my idea at first, even tough the end product could have been better but it was still a nice experience especially because I never programmed a game in this niche before.
I'm sorry mybe I'm just stupid but I couldnt figure out what I was supposed to do here. Everything I did resulted in a game over. I love the art and the music is pretty good but all that doesn't matter if I cant play it. Maybe you could explain it to me?
I try as well as I can to explain it, I'm really sorry if you don't understand it that's not your fault in any way shape or form, but mine for making it needlessly convoluted. Thanks for your feedback in advance, I will add some more text to explain the Game on my itch.io page as well.
As a small Guide:First you have to do everything the little Animation on the Top right Shows after you've done that. Only click the button once and then wait until you see a note appear out of the flute and you hear the corresponding sound !
The basic idea is that you have certain places in the flute indicated by the colour, as soon as you finished the "tutorial", the flute starts to create notes out of these holes. You have to remember them (they increase each iteration so 1 then 2 then 3 and so on), then you bore into the right Holes (you could bore into others as well that's just more wasted time to remember the right combination), beware not to bore to deep tough or you will destroy the flute ! And then it is just an easy click on the Coloured Indicator and a Note will appear as well as the matching Sound.
If it was correct the same pattern will appear again with another Note added, then you just have to bore and click again on the right coloured indicator hence and repeat this process as long as you can.
Note:
Coloured Indicator: 
The game is very good and the art style is very cool!
but i have one comment , i couldn't figure our the start of the pattern, the pattern loops so fast that i don't know what is actually the first note!
maybe make a delay between each loop so we at least know that a new loop has started.
other than that it is a very good game :)
Would love you to checkout our game and give it a rate too :)
https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-3/rate/574177
Thanks a lot for your feedback I will take that into consideration and test the game some more with increased delays
the changes are too fast, please give it a level for noobs please
You mean the speed in which the Notes are displayed ?
oh now after reading your explanation of the gameplay two posts above i get it :) at first i though i had to drill the notes in the order they changed on the bottom of the screen xD
No problem I've been working on a updated version with better background easier tutorial and over all added aesthetic with 2D lighting even tough it's subtle and the most important thing of all I added or better removed that you have to click on the "button" to make the sound, you're just able to drill and the note will appear automatically. I will update the game as soon as the rating period is over.
Hmmm there is no game loading now? I will check back later~
Yeah I fucked up big time and deleted the current Build, because I haven't read the text and it's my first time in a rated Game Jam. I wrote the support but guess that it will probably only playable after the 2 week period I'll see.
The game has been re uploaded now thanks to the help of a nice Admin :P. I would love it if you could try it thanks a lot for your patience.
What a nice game. The pixel art was amazing. The audio deserves a medal. Very catchy and well done.
Thanks a lot :P
Very interesting concept. It did take a bit for me to figure out what exactly I had to do, so I'd suggest making the tutorial a little clearer. Aside from that, I think this is a pretty fun time waster. I especially liked the music for this.
I tried to make the Tutorial better and will upload as soon as possible thanks for your feedback :D
