I was wondering if some folks would take the music route with the theme, cool!  Wondering it Ocarina of Time was the inspiration for the staff :).  Also, I really like the addition of ambient sounds (storm) for the ambiance.  I think that could could be doubled down on with stuff like cloud shadows, etc., but your color scheme fits it nicely as is!

On the technical side, the colliders were a little wonky, and I am not sure how, but I got stuck and couldn't walk anywhere in this spot:


I recognized GameEndeavor in your credits, and I've watched some of his Godot videos, so cool to see that too. Cool game!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback and of course Ocarina of Time was an inspiration, is such a great game!

this game is so fun and endearing! i had a bit of a hard time figuring out how to get the note on the other side of the bridge in the first level and also figuring out i was meant to drag down the treble clef, but aside from that, i felt everything progressed really smoothly. i really loved experiencing the world you created!

I am glad that you liked it zorkie, thank you for playing and for the feedback!

Music and graphics were good but level design needs more work. Under bridge paths were not clear and there was a lot of backtracking.  Core game mechanic was simple but could enchanted more given time. I did not find any connection with the theme "Scale" but maybe it is also a music term.

Developer

Thank you very much for playing and for the feedback. About the theme of the jam, I opted for musical scales.

Ah that makes sense. I improved my rating for theme. This is such a unique  way to use the theme.

Beautiful and relaxing little game, really enjoyed playing through it. 

BTW I think there is a breaking bug that allows the player to finish the game with just a single note instead of 6. Once you place a note on the music sheet, if you drag it to the last colored note on the right, it will return the note down but wherever it was placed on the sheet stays blank and counts for a note. Repeat the process and press play to go through.

Developer

Thank you very much for playing and for the bug report! It was a very good finding.

Love the rainy atmosphere, the art + music go with that well. Level design/layout was great as well. The gameplay was smooth, no bugs or anything. I was a little confused on when to use the different scales, is there a way to tell without placing the notes first? Nice job!

Developer

Thank you for playing the game. Currently there is no way to know which scale to use without placing a note but it is great feedback, thank you!
