Some really spooky candle lighting could really elevate this already ominous entry. Dig the vibes and want to see more.

Developer

That’s a good idea! Thanks a ton for playing!

Nice game! Forgot that this type of scale also existed haha. I like the art and animation. I wish there was more variation in gameplay though. Anyway, the controls are smooth and the gameplay is straightforward. Good work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a ton. And totally agree on the variation. Time got away from me ;)

It’s cool how many different scales and modes you managed to implement! I feel like with a little tweaking, this could be a great way to make music review more engaging for students.

Developer

Absolutely! Thank you so much for playing!

I think it's quite fun and definitely fits the theme. I think a little more would be nice though, maybe more songs or maybe some more negative effects if you play the wrong note. It looks very nice and polished. I enjoyed it!

Developer

For sure! Thank you so much!

A really fun premise with an... oddly horrifying execution? The ambiance is quite unsettling, haha (in a good way). I like the mechanics of jumping around and playing keys, but I wish we were able to play more than scales (despite the fabulous play on words). Could've been fun to play a few basic songs; perhaps they are in the game and I just didn't reach them. Excellent work; I have no real notes other than I want more!

Thank you so much! Definitely was the plan to expand more with different tunes (and even a hard mode where the letters on the keys disappeared). Time got away from me ;)

That's how these game jams go, haha. You did great with the time you had!

Brings me back to my piano lesson days! Those lessons would've been more exciting if I had purple buddies bursting into flames then too. It was fun running around jumping on the keys.

Developer

now that you mention it this was probably spawned from repressed childhood piano lessons lol. Thanks a bunch!

I couldn't play it in my browser, but I downloaded it to give it a try. I liked how you interpreted the theme into your game. Fun submission!

Developer

for some reason the web version gave me the most trouble.. thank you!!
