thanks for spreading the jazz
Why you're welcome. Thanks for playing.
Very cool. Great way educate the world on Jazz!
Thanks! I did my darndest to include as many of the greats as possible. I was hoping to add some Herbie Hancock, but his stuff is not in public domain yet lol.
Really cool concept that fits well with the theme. I really liked the visuals for this game.
Thank you for the kind words!
This is a great puzzle game~! while lacking a concrete narrative, it makes up for it with the gameplay and puzzles and the additional challenge of being able to decipher which parts of the song played on which node~ :> I also liked how the music itself became more difficult to decipher by removing singing lines and just having the jazz instruments play~ amazing game for a game jam~!
Thank you for the kind and thoughtful feedback! It's so fun participating in these Jams with fellow game designers because we notice the little things in others' games (i.e. you talking about difficulty being tied not only to the level designs, but the music as well). I'm stoked to play your game!
Super creative idea! the visuals and mechanics tied it all together really well.
Thank you for the kind words!
This is easily one of my favourite games of the jam, so far.
I love the art style and the way skill and agility were implemented, besides the pattern recognition.
Great soundtrack, of course haha
Holy smokes, thank you for the high praise! I'm stoked to check out your game.
Yeah, the soundtrack is my favorite part too lol
The visuals are very clean and the idea is unique! Good job!
Thank you kindly! I'll be sure to check out your game :)
