Very interesting use of sound, I really think you nailed the theme. Interesting idea overall actually, fun game and a great entry. Nice job!

Developer

Im glad you liked how it turned out!

Submitted

Really loved it!! I just really suck at keeping a rhythm so it made this game very hard for me. But I really enjoyed it! 

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I did make it harder than I would have liked though :)

Submitted

The story is great, the gameplay is great and the sound is awesome! Great job!

Developer

Thanks a bunch!

Submitted

Really great game mechanics, linking each part of the song to the timing of obstacles! It was simple yet effective design, with an intriguing story that left me hanging at the end

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the story!

Submitted

Love the concept of layering music, each linked to a different type of obstacle.

I'm surprised by how many others were able to make it to through, I personally never really got the hang of the controls :( but I'll take their word about the great story!

Thanks! Sorry about the difficulty though...

Great take a on rhythm game and connecting it to a story. I really wanted to make some kind of rhythm game this round, but it’s hard to think of anything good beside hitting the button to the beat.

Developer

Thank you! I wanted to make sure my game wasn't just another Friday Night Funkin'

I would never pass the lazer parts if there werent any sounds :D raged, but like it :))

Developer

It is a bit of a rage game :)

Submitted

I like that it is a rhythm game with a platforming twist! Scarrryyyy story lol. That poor guy will be running in the dark forever

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the story

Submitted

really nice! reminded me of the game 104! my only problem were that the controls were really slippery but other than that great submission!

Developer

Thank you! I do wish i had done the controls a little differently.

Submitted

Really clever! I'm really liking the rhythm elements, I wish the story was better incorporated instead of notes scattered about though.

Developer

Thanks! My original story plan was way different and the notes made more sense then, but when i changed my plan i kept the notes.

Submitted

The story on this was really interesting.  Did not see the ending coming, but I actually thought it was really interesting twist.  The music elements didn't quite line up rhythmically in a few places, but still could get past them after a few tries.  Really well done all around.  Nice job!

Developer

Glad you like it! there are a few things i wish i had time to fix, but a game jam's a game jam and there's nothing you can do about that

Submitted

I like a lot about this game, it's clever to use the timing of the audio to do the double jumps and love the little challenges that you have to do to progress. I couldn't figure out how to get past the blue spikes but still had a really good time playing it

Thanks! Im glad you liked it!
