I'm absolute trash at rhythm games so thanks for taking out the penalty for mashing the buttons! It let me experience your amazing game fully. Seriously, this was such a unique experience and the fact you made all this in a month is stunning. Thanks for sharing it with us!!

Two last points: I know you said you weren't hot on the Zaggadash fight but I appreciated it! On the other hand, I think you did my boy Aldius dirty. He's just an innocent, lovely old man!

Thank you, I appreciate that :). I'm going to play your game this weekend, it looked awesome on stream!

You have an absolute talent. Such a unique art style and a well executed rhythm game. Can't wait to see any future work you put out.

Developer

Thank you so much! This game jam definitely inspired me to make more games in the future.

The music and art for this is absolutely incredible work, especially for something done in just one month. Painterly art, lovely vocals, and telling a good story to boot. Highly highly impressed.

Developer

Thank you! It was a lot of work and I don't know if I'll be able to repeat that again. But I'm going to try next year, this was too much fun.

Lovely art! Difficult to play, but I enjoyed watching Kyle play it! 

Developer(+1)

I mean I can't thank you enough, for what you brought to the game! It makes me happy to read that you enjoyed the thing you're in.

The art, music and the take on the story and characters were just wild.  Really amazing work! I have to admit though I just couldn't adjust to the control layout. I really wanted to see what came next so I ended up spamming my way through a few levels! Also I might've missed it, but instructions for using the down cursor and f key for drum/bomb would've been super useful before I happened to see them in tooltips.

Amazing work though. That art style feels so unique.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

That is really helpful criticism, thank you! I'm happy to hear you found it interesting enough to push through.

Edit: You didn't miss it, I think, but the only tooltip you get early on is the one about the down arrow key. Later on it'll get mixed in with other tips. I personally prefer the mouse + manual bomb clicking, so went with that as the default.

THE ART. It’s like I’m looking at something from a old master then to make a rhythm game?! Just absolutely bonkers and wonderful. 

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much, that is too kind <3

Actually insane art.  The vibes were unparalleled.

Developer

Thank you! I wasn't sure about how everything would come together in the end but I'm glad it resonates.

Steel Love Z Hard Bangers:

A stunning showcase of artistic prowess and wit.

I was arrested, overwhelmed, ATTACKED by these lavish backgrounds.

It was so commanding a presentation that I allowed myself to be taken

into that world of grainy haze and daze off unto city heights. A

masterly stroke. 

The musical component of the game provided ample service to it's 

touchstone scenes, a light emphasis on the dramatic tension brewing

beneath strained speech, or stirring silence between each measured shot.  


Needless to say, I was ZETA impressed.

Developer(+1)

Thank you, Smile, for your eloquent comment <3. I have yet to try your submission, but I'm looking forward to it!

The music is great! It's cool to see a rhythm game. Unfortunately I'm trash at them lol.

Developer
