I like the visuals and the concept :) Great job on this!
I like the vibe, but I really wish there was some gameplay element to both collecting the notes and using the notes other than just a drag and drop. I liked the look of this entry too, good job.
Well, I learned something today! Granted, my musical education stopped after high school, but I've never stopped playing. I have never heard of or seen the c clef before. I just fell down a wikipedia, Google rabbit hole on that topic today.
Similar issues as others have stated, didn't realize I could go under the bridges, and I started to panic that I was a dense player on how I was going to get that note all the way on the right of the first map. I was wondering, too, if there was something to clue the player in that it's now time to insert the bass clef or c clef other than they were recently collected.
Pretty music and background sounds. This is probably the best game I've encountered so far using the musical interpretation of "scale."
Does this make you want to play Loom again - it makes me want to play Loom again.
Cool interpretation of the theme, I liked that you added different musical keys as a puzzle element :)
I’m glad to see some music-related interpretations of the game. Great idea! The art style and sound design are great. I reviewed the comments and agreed with some of the feedback you’ve already received.
Personally, I would like the level design to be improved in this game later on. I had to find the information about the underpass at the beginning of the game here in the comments. It was impossible to identify just by looking at the scene. I also felt like there were a lot of dead ends where I needed to navigate to pick something up, just so I could backtrack to where I started.
A bit too little paced for my liking. But the music UI was cool! Did you make the art yourself?
Cool! Good use of interpretation of the theme. Exploring the map and gradually unlocking new zones was good. I do agree with the other comments about the collisions but it looks like you have enough feedback about that so far. For a different piece of feedback it would be helpful to the player to have a more clear sign that some of those circular alter-like structures can be entered to go into a new map I got stuck on that for a little while when searching for where to go. Overall I liked it great job!
I found the game relaxing and peaceful. Glad I played it! Great job!
It was a very nice experience. The visual effects such as the rain and the glow are harmonious and pleasant and create a good atmosphere. What I noticed: In the very first level, I didn't know how to get to the note in the far east until I accidentally found out that it's a bridge you can walk under. I think you'd have to mark it somehow with a path underneath or something, otherwise it's a bit frustrating. And as others have said, it lacks some sort of challenge to overcome.
Otherwise very good job, it was fun :)
Very nice visuals and audio. The game is definitely a vibe. For feedback I'd say that the actual gameplay loop felt a little boring/repetetive to me
I love the graphics of this game so much. I really like the background. The music is also really nice.
Your theme interpretation. Musical scales! I didn't even consider this and I am a musician. Great work. It was a nice surprise finding the clefs as well as notes.
I would love to see this developed with a narrative of some sort. I do think the walking could benefit from a run as well. It may also be a good idea to have a more explicit indication that the clef is the problem in certain melodies.
Great work.
Great looking game with a good fitting music track.
The gameplay is a bit too slow paced for my liking and I'm not sure if you can see from the get go which key you need to use or if it is just trial and error by placing one note in a key and seeing of you hit it.
First game I really saw usng the musical scales as a theme.
Congrats on your game !
