In what way does your game fit the theme?
You have to help Boris succeed with his piano performance by collecting green notes and encouraging him with kind words, while also avoiding foul notes that negatively affect his performance! Only through teamwork and friendship can you succeed! :)
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
All assets are made by me, including sound and sprites.

this game is soo good, i really like the undertale references
Im glad you were able to implement the borders around the screen!
This game is sick, I love the tunes and the overall vibe!
Really fun to play, nice unique take on it
The concept for this game is unique and interesting, the quick and smooth gameplay makes the game a delight to play
Glad I saw you talking about this on the server! I loved this game. It’s simple but it creates an interesting vibe and has a lot of polish. I got obliterated when the tempo picked up lol, but I’m going to give it another shot and see if I can get further.
Great game! I loved everything about it. Could you please have a look at my game? I would really appreciate it, thanks!
Nice game! Keep up the great work!
Great game overall!
I actually thought this was a horror game at first (sorry Boris but you’re a bit scary)
Somewhat related but Boris reminds me of Papyrus from Undertale
Edit: I just looked at the thumbnail and turns out it’s not just a coincidence!
The tutorial dialogue is really polished. I really appreciate the word highlighting and the use of animations and images instead of just plain text as I have a tendency to skip through stuff like this
I think the “Why don’t you give it a try?” screen is a bit confusing. At first I didn’t realise I had to use the wordbox
I wish skipping through the tutorial was faster (I had to go through it again as I switched browsers a few times)
The typing sound effect feels a bit repetitive and “spammy” (i.e. it feels like the sound effect is being played way too many times). I don’t know if you’ve already done this but randomising the pitch of it might help a bit. Also, I think the sound effect should only be played once per character (bit of a nitpick)
I feel like the theme interpretation was a bit of a stretch but I can see where it comes into play
Definitely my favorite entry so far. I absolutely love all the wordbox responses from Boris! Very addicting quite difficult as well. It took me several attempts but I won with a score of 35500
I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
It does tell you in the tutorial dialogue that you have to hover over the wordbox and press spacebar, but I forgot to highlight any of the words in that sentence so it makes sense that you missed it. It does make it seem like the information isn't important.
Being able to skip the dialogue is a good point. I'll probably add a "skip tutorial" button and the option to skip a dialogue line before it's been completely written out.
Randomising the pitch is also a good tip. I'll make sure to fix that once the ratings are done and editing is enabled again.
Haha, yep, I later realised that. I really do need to pay more attention to tutorials
this game is great, i love the music, and i got so invested that i god genuinely mad and hurt when i failed and the words "Bors' performance was a failure"
All around great game
great game! love the undertale style!
