This game looks great but I'm not seeing a way to get past the first area. It makes you pick up the notes in a particular order and then it looks like you're supposed to jump to the corresponding note platform (which is cool) but I can't reach one of them as far as I can tell. It looks like others have been able to, I wonder if I'm missing some mechanic. Great sound implementation and great look!

Heya thank you for playing

So in the 1st level there are 3 puzzles, one is just overlapping the different nodes in order, the second one is on the platform you have to jump in order, last one is on the sky with some floating notes, this one is the tricky one since you have to quickly rotate the camera and snap to the next note.

Hope that helps

The one I'm having difficulty on is just the platform, it doesn't seem like you have enough of a jump to get to it.

Developer

Oh are you using shift after jumping ? we have a dash whilst in the air so the combo is JUMP ( space ) + DASH ( Shift ) try that way

Beautiful art style.  You can't go wrong with foxes haha—nice approach to the theme.

Really fun game and cool concept, that is really pushing the theme due to using 'musical scale' but what's a jam without loophole exploits. The graphics are cute and stylish and really hit that good old mascot platformer vibe from the old ps1/ps2 era.

I like how you colour coded the notes in a logical rainbow order. As someone who's partially tone-deaf I wasn't sure how well I'd get on with the concept at first, but that was never an issue.

Overall a fun use of ideas pulled together into a short platforming experience.

Some suggestion/feedback: First, I'd recommend increasing the character's jump height slightly or just lowering the platforms in some places, the second level was really tricky to back track if you did the puzzles in a different order than what I assume to be the intended route. Secondly I'd suggest having the player hover briefly after zooming to the floating notes, its hard to quickly shift the camera to aim at the next note before you fall and a small hover would give some extra wiggle room.

Finally I have to note the low performance I got from the game. I am on a 7 year old laptop but for how small the levels are the fps was really low, still playable but only just. Not going to complain (as said my laptop is old) but its something to think about in the future as you always want as many people to be able to play as possible especially in a jam.

Thank you so much for playing, yeah we are using unreal engine 5 we could have done some tweaks to run better but honestly we struggle to get the 2 levels in, but yeah we plan to have some updates with story bits and more. will keep you posted.

Nice mechanic, the character is a bit hard to control sometimes. I want to see more of this, it's fun to play. Good job!

Really, really liked this game! A shame there's only two levels and that they're short, because I could see this becoming a much bigger puzzle platformer game! The style was very clean throughout, although the music scale at the top was a little pixelated and crisp in comparison to the smoothness of the rest of the game. I'd love to see this expanded upon for more levels!

Nice idea and beautiful artstyle! I really like music-related games, and this game truly has it's own style  🎶

I would appreciate if you check my game too :3
