Love it! Didn't feel much like a gameboy game at all, but it was fun on charm in its own right.
I was caught by surprise by the fact I could even trigger a game over in this game. It felt so lighthearted up to that point, that it didn't even occur to me that the pit was dangerous to fall down at all.
There was a bit of stuttering when loading some areas, which is a pity in a game this music-focused, but it's nothing major.
Love the soundtrack and the skeleton animations. So much personality in them that it truly made it feel like meeting up with old friends. "Here comes old Boney Tony, always strumming his guitar"
Great work!
Pretty interesting, managed to complete it even though I had no minimap nor anything xD, but found all of them and we did the complete song and it was fun. Controls could've been less clumsy, like allow pressing up and left at the same time without blocking the previous key, to help a bit the experience.
What a goofy idea, I love it! Well done on a wonderful submission!
- doot! (That means great work!)
-doot doot!
love a musical game, so wholesome to go around and collect the gang.
Really fun to play - a great and creative way to use loops! Loved it, and found myself really wanting to get the whole band back together! Great work!
I liked the idea a lot and it was very fun to get my mates together.
