Love this idea! I included it in my Mini Jam 107 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Developer

Glad you liked it. Awesome vid!

Hey Amanuel,

An incredible idea! It's very complicated to play the instruments but that's the idea haha, it was really fun, the concept and combination of thematic and limitation were amazing!

Good voxels, amazing work!

Developer

I appreciate the comment!

Omg, I did not think this would be so fun. I definitely spent a lot of time just humping instruments into the wall to try to get them to F***ING TURN AROUND.

Hitting the instrument in exactly the right place was super challenging (in a good way), and throwing them all around the box felt chaotic and funny.


Nice work! Cool voxels!

Developer

Thanks!

Very fun small game and I love the concept! Although sort of frustrating at times when you have to get extremely close to press such a specific part of the instrument.

Developer

Yeah it definitely does get frustrating. Glad you liked it!

First thing that happened was my bass took off into space. I did manage to finish it after a restart, but I thought it was funny that the instruments could 'escape'. Neat little toy/game ya got here.

Developer

I didn't know that was possible lol. Glad you liked it!

Well, i am not going to play in a space band any time soon—rehearsal is clearly impossible!

I had the most problem with the drums, because the glow was not always visible, probably due to lighting, and had to randomly click until it made a sound.

Developer

Yeah the materials can get buggy sometimes. I think having the drums more exposed/ less extruded would be better for making it playable

Lol the game is very fun, this concept is amazing! It was pretty hard to rotate the instrument so that I could play it. Good job!

Developer

Thanks!

A hilarious concept; reminds me a bit of the chaos in surgeon simulator's space levels. 

As for the gameplay, I did sometimes find myself frustrated with the controls, specifically that if the e.g. guitar is pointed away from me, there's no fine tuning I can do; the only option is to send it and myself hurtling into or away from the wall and hoping we end up in the same place. Ergo, some small, if ineffectual, additional movements might have been nice.

Also, the precision required of the clicking compounded the problem, making it more frustrating than it needed to be (though fine tuning controls would make this problem moot).

Developer

Yeah the clicking precision was definitely a problem I should've addressed. In regards to getting instruments properly positioned, a trick I used was to change gravity to the furthest side to get the instruments jumbled up and spinning. Though I agree adding more controls would make the game more strategical and fun. Thanks for the response!

A good concert, and the visual part was passable.

Developer

Lol glad you liked it

I like the models & the set up of the room in space. Nicely Done. Unfortunately I couldn't move passed the first playing of the bass, the sound never changed and it didn't prompt me to play another instrument. 
Love the idea though.

After the bass, your meant to play the keyboard. I should have pointed out that you need to be close to the instrument for the key to glow. I  appreciate the comment
