Nice art work! <3
Beautiful ❤️
How come all of the people rating and commenting got registered to itch.io all at once and just two hours ago? How come these people only comment on your game and have no other activity? Also, you're number of downloads is lower than the number of ratings. You could have been a bit more subtle at what you are trying to achieve here...
When you share it with some friends it is quite a normal outcome! Especially when this is a first year project, meaning friends are creating new accounts for the first time. Grateful to everyone supporting us and our game🙌🙌
I am the only admin with privileges to delete comments. I decided to delete the extra comments as I felt these were unfair and more than a little unkind to leave on the team's page.
As an admin, even I don't have access to any download statistics, so I am mighty curious how Griesgram even knows how many downloads this game got. If this is a serious accusation for which you have proof, I'd appreciate it if you submitted it to the department so we can take appropriate action.
Until that time, I have decided to leave the original accusation in place because, even though poor sportsmanship is not the type of behaviour we encourage at the education, the team responded gracefully.
The jam is over now, we're not going to change the outcome. It is not very nice to the winners to be accused like this. How about we congratulate the winners and move on.
This jam and its format was announced at the end of March, but we understand the current situation makes communication more difficult. As this is the first time we have used this system we may have not highlighted the changes as much as we could have.
Like music. A little bit difficult to me (not very smart in games). Good job.
Special game
Great game, I love it!!!
A tricky game for the hands,but then again the name is keyrivals :)
Would be nice to see a development of this,towards handheld units (android, apple). But you've done a good job . Tjohej :)
I'm glad you like the game :) There is currently no plans for handheld device support, but it's not out of the question. Thanks for the suggestion!

Great game I love it!!!
I like the art and music it needs little enhancements to get it easy to play using a keyboard you need time to get hold of things but once done it is amazing. It gets better and better the more you play it.
I can’t wait to try the last version when power ups are added
I'm very happy to see that people like yourself are excited for future features!
This game was originally designed to be played with a custom input device, but we couldn't finish building the prototype for it due to the Covid-19 situation (and we obviously can't provide it through itch.io anyways). We tried to make the controls as comfortable as possible considering it's a keyboard. If you have any other feedback we'll be very glad to hear it!

wowwww!!! Great game I love it... thank you
Waou very very nice.
This game is great, awesome 👍
Very nice visuals and great music. Playing the right key felt a bit unresponsive and coming back from "dying" felt very disorienting. Otherwise, no complaints! I could totally imagine this in an arcade hall!
Amazing art, difficult keys, nice music very tough and challenging
Great game!!!! Love it
Was fun to play !! I especially loved the art in this game !
Very interesting concept and presentation! Very quick to pick up, very difficult to master! And the art-style is amazing!

i jizzed a little while playing this game
Looks and sounds great! The game stops me from playing whenever I miss and it is very frustrating :)
Glad you like the game!
When you say it "stops you from playing" are you referring to the stun mechanic after losing 3 HP? If that's the case, I'd suggest you take a look at the tutorial (accessible from the Main Menu) where we explain how to recover easily.
If you are referring to a crash, we would like to hear from it so we can fix it.

Interesting premise, exciting tracks and great art style! It's clear you spent a lot of effort to make this game. That being said, we couldn't play all the tracks due to the position we had to sit in to play the game. The keys are very close to each other which strained our hands quite quickly. We realise the game is called KeyRivals, but playing with a gamepad would be more comfortable! There was some lacking feedback when hitting notes, though we believe that will be improved upon.
