Cool stuff, was really fun building the band and getting to hear the full music!

This is a super fun premise with a solid execution! I do wish the game got harder as you got more band members, maybe with tougher enemies or more obstacles; gets pretty easy near the end. I like the dynamically evolving music, but the instruments don't quite gel well together at the end (maybe just a personal thing). I love the fish designs and gameplay, would love more from this concept! Great work!

Unusual and very creativity vampire survival game + your own orchestral creation!

This was kind of wholesome, making the band come together to play. Nice twist on survivor. Can see a full game with different band members and some rhythm based minigames. Good job!

I loved building my army and orchestra,  having a simple drum turn to full orchestra was a really fun concept.

Cool little game with a nice concept of fighting by the power of music. Great work!

My army of strings pretty much prevented the enemy from moving. They can't interrupt my concert!

What a lovely idea. Very cute art style and the music is nice. It feels quite good to play as well. Although there isn't much of a challenge.

Wooah, I loved it! Really cool idea! Great job!

Really awesome idea to play with music in a survivors like game. Very satisfying to get all the instruments all playing together. Seemed like crab spawns could spawn on top of you and pathing could get stuck behind walls. Awesome job overall!

Interesting squid game

This is such a cool idea! A rhythm-based survivors-like is already really cool, but seeing the band evolve really adds a lot of flavor. Great stuff!

Would love to see more musical survivors-like games. And adding a line of musicians that are also susceptible to damage is cool too. Really fantastic overall.

Fun concept to combine new instruments with new damage mechanics!  I do wish I could move a little faster, but still fun.  I enjoyed the dynamic music from each new band member.  Nicely done!

Sound design is on point, every instrument added a lot to the final composition. I must also say, that the mechanic of going around grew stale, and I hoped that by completing the 5 minutes I got to hear the complete version of the song.
Either way, cool concept and idea!

Not much of a fan of the mechanic, but I appreciated the twist on it here. Can't deny the style and execution as well.  When I figured how the progression with addition of instruments work the game became much more fun :)  I think what would made the game better is instead of killing the crabs the music would let them dance away leaving trinkets for the performers -- I think it would suit the setting you picked more than killing sea creatures with music :)
