really nice use of the theme!
Really cute and relaxing! I love the hand made drawings of the animals
I dont konw about music. But I know you draw great assets and made a good game out of them! This is inspiring and experimental
First game I've seen use the theme as "musical scales" I don't have a musical bone in my body so I was very appreciative of the guide on the left side of the screen. Cool drawings and very unique concept! Well done!
It's a stylish game. Drawings are cool, musical sounds are charming!
I would suggest to add a "easy peasy" mode with colored "pick this note" stuff for those who like me is dumb and can't figure out what to do even if there message boxes and many tips around :)
Also, it would be helpful to see exactly what you're need to get next. Sometimes I forgot what I've just picked up.
This game has a charm and I've enjoyed playing it!
I wanna keep working on this game and I was planning on adding modes to it, this would definitely be the medium. Hard would be trying to read the notes on the staff. I wanted to add a color system to the game but programming is not my strongest skill and I wasn't sure how to do it with the existing prefabs of the notes
Hey, you've made a good job! Programming could be tricky. It's especially cool to do something for a jam when some of your skills not meet your own expectations!
So, don't be anxious. And feel free to check our submission too! Would like to chit-chat for a while!
I really enjoyed the hand drawn assets for the game! The drawing of the fish was really pretty. I also found the musical component of the game to be really satisfying.
Thank you!! My favorite drawing I did for the game was a dragon but I was three minutes late getting that scale/artwork added in so I couldn't upload the file
Great game! I love the simple concept and art style you have there!
Beautiful art and fun use of the theme in multiple ways :)
Love the artwork for the those scaly creatures.
Agree that controls could be tightened slightly, but still had a lot of fun playing through.
Wonderful name too.
This game is really fun and challenging. It took me a while to realise that the notes weren't random sizes, but they were different octaves. I kept wondering why I was messing up on the last note lol. The game is a little bit repetitive though. Well done.
One of my playtesters was having the same problem not realizing that the size of the notes were related to their octave. That's why I decided to put the instructions and notes and stuff off to the side. Thank you for playing!!
Haha funny take on the theme. I thought the game was pretty hard (combination of the movement and speed of the falling notes) but I enjoyed it a lot. Illustrations are amazing too.
Awesome game :) I like it! Only got 8 Points max, because the control feels a little bit spongy but I had much fun :)
Sometimes you just gotta go for all the puns!
i luv music themed games
Wow! Music + learning in a game.
Very creative approach of the theme.
Such a great and unique take on the "scale" portion of this theme. Love the concept and fun gameplay.
Cool game. I'd love to see a deeper version with difficulty levels and more content.
I really liked the idea with completing drawings as you play, it made me want to catch those notes :)
really cute game! i like the drawings and getting to see them go through the different stages from sketch to finish was oddly satisfying UwU I think it be so cool if there was a background song playing in the same scale your in, so you can sort of play with the background music too!
Thank you!! I thought about doing some background music but I wasn't sure if it would be too distracting on top of trying to hit the notes needed since sometimes the notes don't sound very good together. Thank you for playing!!
Cool concept, the movement is a bit too floaty and it would be good if the chance for a letter to spawn increases when you need it because you have to wait for a long time sometimes without your letter spawning
