Looks and sounds amazing, a little bit lacking when it comes to game play, but overall a solid concept!

That was crazy and funny! :)
Some cops stuck in one place.
Great work!

This style of game I haven't seen before, but works perfectly, good job! :)

Awesome, I love the way the music builds as your gang grows, it was great and it's very rare to hear any singing in a jam game. You nailed it. The art and animations were great too, really stylish.  My only complaint is the actual rhythm game part of it didn't feel right, it felt off time for me and I ended up having to watch the bars moving instead of timing them with the music. Also the police didn't seem to ever fight me even though they got really close. Maybe highlighting the gang member that you're controlling would be good. But yeah great job, I really enjoyed it.

Cool game. I enjoyed playing it

Love the style, the rythm, lovely art and I love the song that builds up the more characters you recruit, everything fits really well together. I actually have no complaints on this one. Very well done.

Oh my freaking word! You did a ridiculously good job on this game. The sound is to die for, I love how it goes up in intensity with how many gang members you have. And the art to amazing!

I really enjoyed the music and the overall vibe that the game gives with all of the police and the gangsters

I like the graphic and the song! I like to see my gang members dance around me with the song and it gives me a strong sense of achievement! One thing is the ending is too abrupt. I'd love to see more variation of the rhythm and larger map in the future!

The game art and music are awesome but the game clearly lack of real gameplay. (more variation in the rythm game will probably fix that)

Submitted(+1)

all i can say its sooo fun i love it , but the problem is that the cops everywhere so i lost alot of my gang.

please have a look at our game <3.

I liked this game especially as the music got bigger. However, one area that could be improved is having the rhythm attacks be synced with the music. I know that would be difficult but would definitely help and not feel like I'm trying to fight with the song but I understand why you probably couldn't have. It's still a great game with a lot of potential!

Awesome game! I'm a playwright and musician, so you really combined two things I love haha.

Would love to see more varying / progression of gameplay to help the game's pacing match the growing music as it crescendos and layering / textures increases, as there's room to explore for the gameplay as you expand the game in your future versions!

Thanks for sharing!! Always love to see music-based games. <3

Very chill and fun game, absolutely loved the music and the fact that it evolved with the number of gang members you have. My main criticism is that it can be difficult to spot the character your actually controlling when the group gets larger so it can be a little bit harder to dodge police or launch the encounter with an other group, a way to differenciate him from the other gang members would have been great. Other than that I absolutely loved the game and would really playing a longer version with more levels and musics.

I liked the idea of the adaptive music, but I found a little annoying detail that I know is very hard for the programmer: the snap animation in the dancers was not synced with snaps if the music. Apart from that, great game.

Very comical game! my biggest critique is that the yellow text on the red background is a bit harsh on the eyes, but other than that, I didn't see many flaws!

Submitted

Okay game, but the music kind of felt out of place.

This game was amazing! Definitely an interesting interpretation for the theme. I love the spicy animations and how there were extra dances and moves some gang members would do. The song was awesome and catchy too. I have a suggestions for things to add if you plan to continue working on this later on.

-I would've liked a little more feedback when you got a beat, maybe the visual for the hitbox could've grew a little bit or a little music note hovered above it

-When you got more gang members, what if the hitbox for beats increased a little bit each time? 

-The hitboxes for the city felt a little janky, especially trying to walk around or in between cars

Overall, very cool game! The animations were top-notch and I loved the music :)

AHH this game was awesome! Hilarious concept, I love it! The animations and dancing were amazing, and when the singing came in I lost it, fantastic job!  Would love if you can check mine out too!

wow! that original song, really didn't expect singing. Great game.
