I'm a lil biased because I also made a leashed-dog game, but I LOVE this. Especially the music and the visuals - I had a smile on my face the whole time :)
The deck is the same throughout for now. We shared the same vision as you where we wanted the deck to change over time, just didn't get around to implementing it :) Thanks for giving it a try and leaving feedback!
Yes, the rolling mechanic definitely needs some tuning (or better education). I'm not sure if you realized, but landing on the weight would actually grant you increased die-rolling power (stacking!) for the next 3 turns, which actually gives you ample ability to control the die. We didn't want to give that power by default, so it's a bit of risk-reward scenario to get the weight. Definitely agree that we need an indicator though - that was something we planned on doing, but time was short so it got cut :)
This is one of the most well-polished entries I've seen in this jam! Great core concept. Unfortunately I kept getting my ass whooped as soon as I would walk into the next room, but that's probably caused mostly by my bad (rushed) strategy hehe
This was an interesting concept! However, more often than not, I found myself just waiting for the levels to play out which got stale pretty quickly. However, the cute blob and its hearts made up for it <3
I think there's a lot of creativity potential in here - for example, I'd love to try it where you only respawn a single player per click rather than the whole team. Cute game :)
Ah yep we noticed the 45 degree bug too but time was limited and there were higher priority things to fix so it got neglected :) I definitely agree with your recommendations/feedback and we likely would have fixed them if we had more time. Thanks for taking the time to play and leave such detailed feedback!
This is great! It took me a bit to understand the core mechanic (particularly, the other dice getting added to the chosen die's move) but once I got it, the game really drew me in. Cute art too :)
This is a great start! Love the theme and the idea :) would love to see this expanded on to include more verticality too (above AND below the water) - for example, like the Flying Dutchman's ship in Spongebob.
Clever concept! If you expanded on this, you gotta make the levels a bit easier to work through - I felt like most of this was trial and error so it got frustrating towards the end.
As a pianist myself, I LOVE this concept. I'm in a sort of rut where I'm not improving as much nowadays, and I actually think this game would be the thing that would get me over that hump. In particular, the visual feedback of what mode/scale to use in the context of real songs like this is an incredibly valuable learning tool that I could see myself using as a practice aide.
I REALLY want to see you expand on this. Some initial suggestions:
MIDI integration (so you can use a real keyboard).
Visual feedback when right/wrong notes are hit.
Make note timing optional so players can focus on hitting the right notes intuitively.
Real chord/scale names to accompany the visual scale.
Ability to change tempo (lmao Giant Steps).
All in all, this has so much potential to be a real practice tool (in addition to it actually being fun and approachable, maybe even as a non-pianist). Fantastic job!
