Music was good, and the tying the music blocks to the music was a good choice. This is the first game I've seen that I think successfully used musical scales as the interpretation of the theme. I had an issue with the controls. When I tried to drop the blocks to the beat it wouldn't let me, so I ended up waiting for the block to go over the previous note and just spamming the button until it worked. I'm assuming this isn't intended and it was supposed to be more like a rhythm game? Despite that, I was still able to beat it, so wasn't too bad. Overall great concept.

Nice aesthetics! Also loved the music and how you build it by dropping blocks at the rhythm of the music. It took me a while to understand how the game works.

I love the idea and it is something i never seen before! It is a simple 5 5 5 for me because the music and CRT shader fit the style of the game and its something i never seen before. Well done!

Wow thanks a lot! I’m glad you enjoyed it :D

Love the style of the game! Though a tutorial would be nice ^^;

Loved this game! Super simple and an interesting take on the scale theme! Great job!

Only bit of feedback is to add tutorialization to make the block placement or constraints clearer. For example "you can't place a music block in and empty column".

Gorgeous effects and I loved the music! Great work!

Fun game! The Music is awesome and building the melody feels very satisfying

Submitted

Very satisfying, "short-but-sweet" game. I was pleasantly surprised that the music became more layered as I was placing the notes right, it really improved the feel of the game.

I love the vibes!!! Took me a while to properly be on beat to drop the blocks and notes but love it!!!

Submitted

Really great vibes for the game. I think the controls are a little finnicky (it took me a while to realize the reason it wouldn't let me place blocks is it hard to be right on the beat), but overall I enjoyed my time!

very stylish game! cool

Submitted

Cool interpretation of the theme! I wish the timing for the beat was a tad more forgiving. Oftentimes, I'd hesitate to press on the beat because the cursor was on the column I didn't want to drop the block on, only to move over to the correct one a split second after the beat. Still, groovy game! Would love to see more levels and more pentatonic scales.

The music is catchy as hell, good job

Bonus points for actually managing to get me to tap my foot on the beat!

The game has one of the best art styles and the best music that i have seen on the jam! absolutely amazing idea but was a little confused why i could not drop blocks on certain columns.

Submitted

I don't know what means pentatonic scales :D But it like how it sounds, probably I need to become smarter, and try this game once again.

Loved the synthwave style. As a lot of people a little confusing, but not gonna lie, I stared at the screen more time that I should. Really good music and little game.!

The music in this was really good. Took me a while to get the hang of the controlls. I was thrown a bit of the beat by needing to wait for a good spot to drop the block but once I got into the groove I was bobbing my head to the music anyways.
