The Guitar Hero element of the game was very faithful to the original, and I liked how it was always in time with the track. The weapon felt like it has a lot of stopping power, though the lack of true objecive beyond survival meant I was spending more time in the rhythm game portion than I was moving through the environment. Definitely a fun foundation, will be interesting to see where this idea goes!

This is pretty cool! Driving around the environment was fun and the controls were snappy enough to keep me where I was going. Parts of the UI were extremely hard to read at times, the how to play and the objective text were very crushed in places. I did get to the lab but I wasn’t sure where to go after that. Good work!
Quite the fun game that you have produced here for your first jam, nice work! I found the third combination to be quite specific even when I had the combination correct. Out of curiosity, did you run into scope creep during the jam (where the concept of the game became too big to finish under the deadline)?

I enjoyed the mechanics at hand here! After I got my head around the controls, the puzzles felt very interesting and thought out. One improvement would be that you could have particle effects indicating whether you're attracting/repulsing, because I'd sometimes forget which was which while playing. Overall, this is a great game with a lot of potential, well done!
