The Beat'en Path’s got a charming connection to music that really draws you in, and the art style is just perfect for the vibe. The game strikes a great balance—it’s challenging enough to keep you engaged, but not so difficult that you get stuck.
There’s definitely a rough diamond in this game; with a bit more polish, it could really shine. A simple tutorial to guide players through the first level would be a great addition, helping ease into the gameplay. I think the easiest way would be to show the player what to do (now press 1, now press 2, now press 3, now move over the created notes to the key and save the other note). The way the notes look gives me a "snake" vibes, and I’m totally on board with the idea of musical snakes saving others with their tunes! Overall, it’s a creative and enjoyable game. Great job! For sure going to this year's collection of mine!
