Ranked from 86 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
Our game fits the theme in two ways: 1. We went with a retro GameBoy aesthetic to "rewind time." 2. Being a rhythm game, our core gameplay mechanic is to rewind through a track multiple times, allowing the player to try different instruments as the difficulty increases.

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes 99% of the code was written by us during this jam. All art, music, and most sfx were also created by us during the jam from scratch.

Welcome. I like my Rhythm it was a nice retro style.

Just wanted to say congrats on the #1 audio and thank you for reviewing my game! :)

Also I did play your game and it was really fun. Hard though but fun indeed!

Well, its official, I've never been worse at any other game ever. Hed to get myself a second pair of hands just to keep up somewhat. It supports my suspicion that I'm the least musical person in the world.

I'm not sure if theres anyway arround that. Perhaps if the notes were marked (dfjk) or if you could rebind the keys?

Eitherway, I'm in love with the game boy esthetic.

A really cool game, my main issue was with the controls. I would have much rather had the option to play with four keys next to each other on the keyboard so that I can play with one hand. Other than that though, really cool game. Well done!

This is really fun honestly. The music slaps like crazy and the gameboy aesthetic is cool. Only suggestions would be like making it more clear when you miss notes or only get a "good" hit on them and easing the player in with easier levels. Other than that I love it!

Usually I delete games after I rate them. This here is an exception, I need this music in my life lol

Very fun game! I got 80.000 as a score in my second run. Only thing would be to have more songs and maybe have a one-time-play slower tutorial.
Other than that, great game!

Very fun, as a musician I was very impressed with the piece, and... THE LICK

I love the music,the art style fits perfect. this game is great. Excellent job :D

something I know would have been hard (but I believe it would be great) would be to make the game record your mistakes, so when you miss a key playing for instance the trumpet, that key didnt play on the next part of the recording (so you wouldnt hear the trumpet in that instant)

I got 79.2K Highscore

I was dancing on my third playthrough (bad move, my score got worse but I regret nothing). Man, I love this, and this is so well made for a 1 week jam! Congrats to the team :D

Highest I got was 77k

As a percussionist, i thought i would be good at this game, boy was i wrong. The controls are intuitive yet confusing and the notes approach what seems like a break neck speed.

Overall the game was very fun, The visuals were pleasing and the songs are all bops.

really great job!

Submitted(+1)

Had a smile on my face as I was doing terribly. That's a great sign :]

Really, really enjoyed the tunes and the simple 4-button rhythm matching. First song I did poorly, second I did better, and by the end I had gotten a 40 note streak and was totally jamming.

I am not sure if the "funk" settings change the song, but it could definitely benefit from more songs. I loved playing this game.

One  suggestion I can give is maybe add different keyboard button layouts to either change difficult or playstyle!

The funk setting is just a joke, but we are definitely gonna add more control schemes and content! Thanks for playing!

Really nice rhythm game. The art is great and the music is very funky!  I manage to get 167190 points with full combo.

I think the next step is to add more song. Anyway, good job! its really fun.

(don't think I didn't notice the lick...)

Developer

woahhh getting close to a perfect run! Thanks for playing, and we will definitely be adding more songs

The Gameplay was very fun, pressing keys to the music. Great job!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

I cannot commend you all for how amazing this is. This is a next level submission. you've already got all the feed back from any complaints I would  have, I would love to see this continued and expanded upon.

Developer

Thanks so much for playing! We are definitely planning on continuing development, so keep an eye out for that!

Submitted(+2)

I LOVE the voice of your game at the start menu! It gives me nostalgic feelings :D

OldSchool guitar hero vibes! I like it.

Maybe easing in the player with levels will help, as My fingers did not want to work together, So instead of having 4 keys, only go with two. Also when in the game there is now way to get back to menu.

Good music choices though! The Art as well!

Amazing Job with completing the Game JAM! 

Developer

Thanks for playing the game and the feedback! We'll be continuing production after this game jam for sure.

The colors, visuals and interface in general just look awesome!
I love the take on the theme as well, and the music had me bopping ! :)

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Very cool game! I would just have a more clear response when the player hit the key, but I think this is very good and cool transitions!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! Alot of people have had the same thoughts, we will definitely add that after the rating period.

I can see myself playing this all day!

Developer

glad you liked it!

The game looks amazing, plays amazing and sounds amazing, but I fail to see an active implementation of the jam's theme, which is a big pity. I feel like the notes going backwards is just not enough, you can't interact with it, it just is there. Nevertheless, every other single aspect of the game is outstanding, and I say it as a veteran rhythm player. Good job!

If you could give my entry a try and a rating, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, we appreciate you playing! I'll check your game out
