Best puzzle game ive played in the jam, allaround very well done.

Developer

Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it, was fun to make!

Thank you for the minus button! I got stuck on the puzzle before you actually get to fire on targets. This let me be able to destroy some stuff! :)

Wonderfull game

Musical puzzles are great, counting up where should I stand my units is lovely to me

I think it lacks some music, it would feel a lot much better with some banging sound design that follows rhythm upfront

Honestly it's already great game and if you'll improve it even more I definitely play it

Developer

Thanks for the kinds words! We are planning to keep working on it, especially with the addition of more tunes!

Amazing game, really well done!

The short introductions for each invader really help you get the hang of it, and the graphics are clear and concise. Seeing those little guys march to the beat made me happy. And the fact that you managed to include custom levels is impressive!

One thing i noticed is that if you make a mistake (crash, friendly fire, etc.) the level resets instantly, and you don't have the time to see where you went wrong, which is a bit frustrating (i ended up replaying broken formations a lot to try and figure out where the problem was).

Also, it would be cool to have an indication of the columns, so you don't have to guess how many steps away an enemy is.

Really cool game, one of my favorites from this jam!

This game made me feel to make some music for another project I have

Interesting puzzle game, I'm not a musician so I struggled quite a bit in it, it would be easier if the collisions were easier to see or if I could hover on the notes to see what is what :-)

Kuddos for putting a level editor in the game!

I Love puzzle games this one was great

If the collision where a little bit clearer this game would be perfect

Really cool idea with great graphics and sounds!

I don't know how I even got so far (pure luck) I have no idea of music and were just trying different things haha

Great game jam submission!

Thanks Mary! ithebinman did such greatg work with our team's sprites, music and SFX. I should probably also add a music explanation chart or some more help with which notes are which so that it's easier for non-musicians.

Super cool idea with a solid implementation. Perhaps some indication of the grid the invaders move in would be helpful for planning. A really fun experience nevertheless!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the compliments HyverCubic! And yep that's a ctually great feedback, especially for the levels with the tanks shooting. I might make a slight colour difference for the columns so every 2nd is slightly lighter.

Nice puzzles!

This is such a cool idea! Very satisfying when you get one of the puzzles right. Look forward to seeing what you do next with it!

Developer

Thanks Agentlion! Glad you enjoyed it.

The rhythms that are created from completing the levels are super satisfying, especially when the lasers are introduced. It might have helped me a little if the color of the alien matched the note that it was going to interact with, but this is amazing. Great work!

Thanks BlackShinobi! Glad you enjoyed it.

Nice little game ! Maybe need reward for for the alien blocking the others. Anyway, good job ! Congrats to the team !

Developer

Thanks Calire! Definitely something we might consider in a later version if we work on it more.

I liked the musical idea! I do think a way to adjust the sfx volume would be nice.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! And yeah just ran out of time to add an sfx slider too. Definitely gonna add one post-jam though.

This is such a fresh idea! Very cute, loved it!

Developer

Thanks Darth Mauli!

Love the concept, the little aliens are also super cute. I wish the tunes were a little more melodic, but that would probably be very hard to do under the time constraint, so you did great!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the compliments moonsheep! And yeah we ran out of time to make some more intricate rhythms

Submitted(+2)

Had fun. Wish there was some bassier notes.

Developer

Glad you had fun! And thanks for the feedback, if we work on it more I reckon we'll put some more bassy notes in :)
