incredibly beautiful game! you did an excellent job of combining the asset packs to make it feel like one seamless game. the ambience is delightful, the water effects is mesmerizing, and being able to fly around everywhere was a lot of fun. one change is that the note sound effect's volume could be raised up a tiny bit.

I love this! the connection to the theme is a bit weak but goddamn the art is so majestic, the sounds are so lovely, the music is of sheer delight.
I wish it registered notes when i hold press them, I like to hold the notes because they sound good but it doesn’t register them so I have to spam them as fast as possible to the point where they aren’t that hearable
I like the idea, goodjob!

Hole-y GolfI was kind of stuck at 6/7 gems & noticed that sometimes, the gem counter wouldn't increase after collecting a gem. Nice concept though, and I love the artstyle!

Scale2ProgressOh man. I was getting frustrated because pressing Z did not work for me. Then I realised it might be because I have a QWERTZ keyboard. You should maybe add a disclaimer. It's strange because I would assume the engine handles that automatically. Which engine did you use?
Anyways. I really like the atmosphere you have created with the assets. I was only able to unlock the wings with my flute though. I've tried to play the notes in other places with hints like the telescope but it didn't work so I got stuck... happy to try again though with a few more explanations!
Ah sorry to hear that! I made it in Godot, and I didn't think to consider other keyboard layouts.
There's definitely a few issues that I should've spent more time on, like the note sequence detection, or gem collision. I tested it by myself quite a lot, playing at various speeds, but as soon as I let someone else test it it seems to fall apart :') Right now it seems to help to play the sequence more quickly, and not let notes overlap. Technically this shouldn't matter, but you know.. Most
It's a janky project for sure, and I did end up spending too much time on looks over mechanics. I'm happy you enjoyed the atmosphere though, and appreciate your feedback. Thanks again!
The game is cute and it's really fun searching in the world for hints two create music, just have to minor issues with it :
- Space to reset on a platformer is criminal ! (I lost all my progress by pressing it to jump by refllex)
- When playing melodies for longer it did not register as valid (which leads me to just spam fast the keys and therefore i didn't heard once what Ive had created)
In the end the game is good and feels good, very relaxing mood, congrats !

Seamless SeasThanks a lot for playing! I can understand the issues, you're not the first to mention the reset button! Duly noted :)
And yeah, the note detection needs work. You know, i tested it a whole bunch, playing extremely slowly, leaving seconds between notes even, and it just worked. Then I let a friend play and apparently with a slightly different way of inputting, it breaks again.
Still, happy you enjoyed the vibe, thanks again!
Very cute. I liked the idea of searching for melodies in the environment.
It was also a very simple and at the same time cool idea to make the notes of the flute in the same key as the main melody. It works like magic.
And this dreamy vibe! Great job!

Bee HiverimpsBeautiful game! Had such a great time playing it. The calm loop and the interesting mechanic make it so much worth to play. Also, I'm not sure if this is just me, but I wasn't rewarded with one of the gems I took, so I ended up having 6 at the end despite having grabbed all of them.

Fairy Block MotherGorgeous game. Really fun exploring this beautiful little world, and the flying physics feel so good to use. The path to the final gem is also surreal. 10/10 presentation

Buffoon Knight: Scaling Up!Love the art and the unique take on the theme. Really enjoyed flying in low gravity!

Scales Food Truck FrenzyThe art on this game is stunning, really amazing work, the music is also really good and the mechanic with the sound is really creative, just one thing, i want to jump with the Space bar. i reset the game by error a loot of times haha

Swing BreakerAmazing concept! I loved the idea of playing musical SCALES based on observing the surroundings to unlock puzzle!
The top-class ambient music and SFX is what I've come to expect of @passivistefforts! That juicy water splash effect *chef's kiss*. I must have spent a lot of time on this game but I didn't notice because of how zen I felt.
The art style is cosy and assets were well-curated to be cohesive, and fit with the overall theme, mechanic and vibe of the game. The unlockable ability (no spoilers) was a pleasant surprise, and the feel of the control was superb.
GREAT JOB Passivist! Superb entry!

MACRO-ORGANISMThank you very much for playing! Your comment is spot on; I had a rough start to the jam getting interesting mechanics to work (stuff like physically scaling the flute to play notes, other scalable physics objects). In the end I just wanted to chill out, get some proper tileset practice in and make a little scene as pretty as I could from all sorts of free assets, with some bits and pieces I had working. So I'm happy you enjoyed it in that regard, thanks again!
I think it's the best game I've tried, the graphic is just perfect. You made a great game

Out of my Shop!!!Nice little platformer, beautiful art. It was really glitchy for me.

Overseer: Eye of the VoidThat was very cute! Clearly made by an artist, all the art was beautiful :)
