So far the best music-themed game I've played this jam, could be a really nice educational game! I'm always a little unhappy when the camera's y position strictly follows the player in platformers, but I could live with it. Two minor music theory nitpicks:

  • Strictly speaking, you'd need to put a treble clef at least somewhere to correctly identify the notes. I know this is pretty nitpicky, but as someone who mostly reads bass clef nowadays I feel bullied ;) Might also be a fun thing for the future to add other clefs!
  • In level 3, you specifically ask for the F minor harmonic scale, which would have a raised seventh, i.e. an E instead of an Eb.

Also a weird bug in level three where there were two Db notes and collecting both of them prevented us from solving the level.

Apart from those nitpicks, I really like where this is going! Also a really nice touch that all the background music was in the correct key!

Very nice to hear! It did occur to me that this could be used for educational purposes, but I'll keep that in mind for the future!
Preferably I'd had the camera done as well (likely moving to in between the player & Meteo and/or slightly in front of the player), but with only a few hours left I decided that would give me more trouble than it'd be worth.

I can't believe I forgot about the clefs after every detail I put in there.... Even knowing it won't change much for most people, I hammered myself on getting the details right for those who would notice, so that one's kinda shameful 😅 And you also made me realize I forgot to program in the natural as well. Looks like a next version still has lots of work to do :)

Yep, the bug in level three is known. The double Db breaks the end of level check, but my brain was too mush to figure out how to improve that check so that even if you had a double note it'd not break the check (hence why in level 4 there's a note in the wall).

Even so, glad you enjoyed it! And I'm glad you picked up on the music as well :D that was intentional to make it easier for those who don't know musical notation so they could still hear whether the note would belong in the scale!
