As time moves on in the game the obstacles, collectables, and scenery get more and more out of control. Also, Jazz is out of control all on it's own.

I have deep respect for the fact that you used Jazz to fulfill the theme.
Also the game is just really tight, there's basically nothing to complain about for a Jam game.
Thank you! We are glad you enjoyed our take on the theme. And it is great to here you liked the gameplay. Thanks for playing!
It's a really fun game. I like the art style. The sound effect when hit made it even better.
You could maybe make the music more complex (by adding instruments for example) each time you get a note. Like you begin with a simple music and have an orchestral music when you have a high score.
Thanks, and I’m glad you liked it. Adding more complexity to the music was something we would have liked to do but had to limit it for time. Thank you for the feed back. And thanks for taking the time to play our game!
This jazz is............ OUT OF CONTROL
Haha! Thanks for playing!
This game was a treat. It's both refreshing in concept and in sound design, which really helped contribute to the stellar experience as a whole (especially enjoyed that sneaky Megalovania reference, haha!).
We are really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to play our game!
As a drummer, I appreciate the jazz is out of control part. :D Good game, nicely done!
As a fellow drummer, I’m glad you can appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time to play!
The art direction is very neat. Gameplay was a tad simple and but it was efficient. Nice.
Thanks for playing!
That's a very cool game! I love the jazz concept, and the art style is very good, please keep workin on it even after the jam, i think it will became amazing! please check out my game too :D
Thank you! And yeah we intend to polish it up after the jam and make it even better. Thanks for taking the time to play, and I will play your game right now.
Not super out of control, but really fun ! Great choice of music.
It is admittedly a basic take on the theme since the out of control comes from the hectic-ness of gameplay at higher scores. And the Jazz it’s self. Thanks for playing!
Your game is very cool, I like the sound when we take damage and cuphead music.
Thanks for taking the time to play!
Cool little game. The link with the theme is thin, but it work.
The low detail pixel art work well, the music is definitely the star in this game and no bug found. So overall good job !
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
This is a really cool and addicting game! Love the music that raises pitch, it really feels like the stage is getting more and more crazy and the controls are really perfect. Good Job!
Thank you! We are glad you enjoyed it!
it's not the most original gameplay idea but it's really quite fun to play. Somehow you got one of the most satisfying feeling jumps i've encountered. The movement feels really nice in general but i would love to know how you achieved that jump feel.
Thanks! It was our take on an admittedly common type of gameplay. But we are glad to hear you liked the control so much. We knew that would be important to stand out from the other games like this. I have no problem explaining some of our mechanics to you if you are really interested.
I have to go to bed in a minute but yea please add me on discord, i'd love to ask you about that jump some time. space#3748
Sound, style, fun, and crispy controls! The sax sound effects are hilarious and the difficulty curve is on point, I'm really impressed how this came out!!
Glad to hear it! What’s your high score?
My high score was 83!
Good job with this - solid concept with polished execution.
I think one of the challenges that comes with implementing super tight controls, as you have here, is how to overcome that within the context of the game's challenge. Ultimately, I think the escalation in frequency of adversarial elements is the right choice in this case.
Thank you! That was a very well worded comment and I appreciate you taking the time to play our game!
Nice job! I really liked the environment and gameplay! Well done. :D
Thanks! Glad you liked it and happy you took the time to play it.
That was a lot of fun. The whole jazz aesthetic fits the theme very well, and it was hectic to avoid everything. Great job.
I’m glad you liked it! I hope it was a fun hectic and not just overwhelming. Thanks for playing it!
Great job. The sax player hopping around on stage fits his character. Everything is well put together.
Thanks! That’s really good to hear.
This is a super fun game and the art is good and the music fits really well. Also really good controls
Thank you, that is really great to hear!
The presentation of this game was great. It started out nice and easily so that I could learn the controls but definitely got a lot more out of control as the time went on. The music really added to it, especially with the megalovania riff in the middle. This was a really polished game for this length of game jam.
Thank you! We are glad you liked it. It's good to hear that you liked the difficulty curve, it was one thing we knew was important to get right.
Very interesting! I thought you presented your idea really well.
I appreciate that! Thanks for taking the time to play it.
