Really nice game! I just wish I could remove the note entry in the piano. Still, it's a really interesting game!

A neat musical puzzle, good concept!

The timer inside the whiteboard dimension seemed to be too short on the first try every time, I could never travel the full area let alone pick up all the notes. Putting the notes into the needed jingle is challenging but kind of fun. It's hard to know which symbol will play which not, especially if you exit full screen mode to check if any controls were listed, since I couldn't find a way to make the window full screen again afterward. As to why I was looking for controls, there also doesn't seem to be a way to remove a note that you know is wrong once it's been placed.

Totally agree that there needs to be a way to remove a note for players. We also need to be more lenient with the timer too. We will be looking into both those things for a future update. Thank you for taking the time to play!

Interesting take on the theme. Well polished game but the only thing I struggled with was differentiating between the different notes. I was able to gather the notes but when it came to reconstructing it, it was hard for me to be able to reconstruct the tune. In my opinion, color coding the different notes or giving the players a little hint while constructing the tune would be helpful. Other than that, Great job! Loved the game! <3

Developer

Thank you so much! We admittedly need to work on differentiating the notes better and plan to in a future update. Colour coding was one of the options we were considering. Thank you for the suggestions :)

Hmm.. I guess you keep on getting the same jingle after the boss tells you to get some rest? Anyway, interesting idea for game.

Developer

Wow, thank you for playing all three! We would have loved to have added more but just ran out of time.

A really creative game and a good combination of game mechanics. Matching the notes was definitely too challenging, some type of redo is needed to make it more approachable though

Developer

We definitely plan on making certain aspects more lenient in a future update. Thank you for playing!

Cute little game, loved the premise and idea!

Developer

Thank you for playing :)

I really liked the idea of building music, it was a pretty game. The timer is too strict the first time you get into the whiteboard. It's necessary to add an undo function when you go to the piano. Nice game! Please try our game Pawfinder.

Developer

Those are both things we plan on fixing in a future update. Thank you for playing! Will give Pawfinder a go now :)

The whiteboard zone was hectic, needed to run quickly since the timer was very strict :D 

Matching the notes was too hard for me, don't really have the ear for it, especially since they were so alike.

But fun little game for sure! Liked the style of it as well

Thank you for playing! We're planning on making it more lenient and easier to differentiate notes in a future update.

Might need a little more time (or remove timer) in the whiteboard zone since they're in random places and you barely have time to move the whole map.  Liked matching the notes to the jingle tune, could use a little more differentiation between the pitches though.  Great work!  

Developer

The time restriction and note differentiation is definitely something we'll look into for a future update. Thank you for playing!

I was a bit confused how to control the game but I figured. It was a fun game.

Submitted

This game has great potential, the art and music was amazing! A few points: The time restriction on note gathering was far too harsh given the random generation, and it took me ages to realise the notes in the speech boxes actually looked different so it was hard to get the melody right... But besides that, this game was awesome and was fun once you got it right!

Developer

The time restriction and note differentiation definitely needs to be worked on. Something for a future update. Thank you for playing!

I feel like the random generation of notes around the map is hurting the game.. Also if you missclicked on a note, you cant re-do it and try better, not sure if thats intentional.  But it is great idea, i would have never managed anything like this

Developer

Being able to undo placing a note is definitely something we would have liked to have added. Thank you for playing!
