Hey'o, I enjoy diving head-first without reading any sort of guide or how-to and here are my two cents.
It's feels like your game's main mechanic is missing it's 'impact' if you know what I mean.
For one, I don't see any "colored planes" on the lanes, but I'm not sure if that's an error or something.
Two, changing the timing like ζοιδ mentioned below should really help I imagine (since games like BeatSaber give the player time to react to oncoming beats).
And three, beat games are more or less alien to me, but your game mechanic of knobs could become promising.
A solid first entry.
Ayy fellow swan-songer here XD
Really creative! First time seeing a rhythm game where you are the one mixing a song with a live feedback like this. Couple of personal thoughts:
- If I am understanding correctly, secondary colors are from mixing colors? If so, I think would be nice to just have a simple venn chart somewhere so players can refer easily.
- This may just be personal preference, but I think that maybe you could have notes make sound only when the note collides with the color panels instead of when it was spawned? Makes more sense to me that way in a context of how rhythm game usually goes
Well done!
I appreciate the feedback! The chart would be a good idea. I hadn't even considered that I was having the notes play at the wrong time. If I come back to it I'll definitely see how that feels!
I played you guys' game before any of the other entries, because of course I had to see what the other Swan Song was like, and I enjoyed it a lot! The cinematic was sick, the art was professional, the gameplay loop was captivating, and the SWAN acronym was super clever.
Thanks for playing my game!
Thank you!
