A Rhythm game? I don't play too many of those and the fact that y'all made one in a jam is very cool!
First off, the art is pretty great. Actually, the art is amazing. You did excellent, Juniper!
However, the controls for the game confused me at first. I thought I had to press Blue and a number at the same time but instead you hold blue and press a number while you're doing that. Though maybe that's just me.
I don't know if the notes are off-beat or not, but they felt it. That's probably due to the lack of feedback when you press a button correctly. Some kind of sound effect would've definitely aided this.
Lastly, the sad trombone losing sound effect clashes with the entire rest of the game. The itch description and the fiddle music seemed to imply a somewhat cold atmosphere, but a meme trombone as your game over sound, in my opinion, doesn't really suit.
That inappropriate sound effect choice, along with the off-beat feeling of the notes, in my experience, bogged down a game with a clever concept and beautiful art style.
I really appreciate the ambition but felt like the product didn't deliver.
However, again, take all of this with a grain of salt as I'm not too familiar with rhythm games.
