So nice
The art is great and the gameplay is cool
the most what I like in it that you make music and cool yourself
keep the great work guys
I have always wanted to learn music but I did not get the chance
Hi thanks for asking, there is a way to get it running on mac without installing the itch app but it's a little technical. This user wrote this post explaining how you would do that: https://itch.io/post/2823664. So feel free to try following those steps. Otherwise playing in your browser is also an option, the only real difference between that and downloading is fullscreen and being able to record your tracks to mp3.
Hey, thanks very much! If you like, you can sign up to be a playtester here. I can send you a key so you can try the newest playtest levels (12 in total). If you do that please fill in the survey when you finish~
Also you'll be glad to hear that playing your own/other people's beats is coming in the next update. That part of the update is more or less done already :)
Hi, I sent out the keys. If you search for "Lo-Fi Room" in your inbox you should find a key there (maybe in spam or promotions). Let me know if you have any problems finding it.
Hi, I'm glad you're looking forward for the full release! I can't go into much detail at the moment, but I'm sorry to say the end of the year might not be possible at the moment. I'm planning to announce what the plan is as soon as I know what's possible. Having said that, I'm going to keep doing playtests so if you sign up to be a playtester here. You'll be able to try the new levels when I make a new batch (there are 12 done already). I'm planning to send out some more playtest keys at the end of the week, so if you haven't already be sure to sign up :)
Hi, I sent out beta test keys to everyone who signed up before June 14th. The emails tend to go to the spam or promotions folder which is kind of annoying. But if you search your inbox for "Lo-Fi Room" you should be able to find in there it somewhere~
I will send out some more keys to people who signed up later, this week I think. So if you don't have a key yet, you should have one around the end of the week. But again you'll have to search for it.
Hi, you should start with some text that looks like this:

If you go the menu screen, click this button. Paste the text (ctrl+V) and then click the next (>>) button. If it doesn't work there should be an error message.
If you're still having problem please paste the text you're trying to import, and/or the error message you see.
Hope that helps, thanks~
I don't fully understand sorry, but here is a general explanation.
If you want to share a song:
1. you select the beat you made by clicking the white cassette for that beat.
2. click the button with the 3 dots on (bottom right corner)
3. Copy the text (Ctrl+C) and paste it in the comments section or wherever you want to share it.
If you want to import a song (e.g.)

Hi, thanks! :) I'm hoping the next update will be pretty soon~ If you want to try new levels though, please sign up to be a playtester here. This version on here will stay at 3 levels for a long while yet. The current playtest version has 12 levels, I'm not currently planning on sending out new keys for at least a couple of months though, I think.
Thanks for sharing, sounds super nice :) I liked how the melodies are kind of synchronized between the instruments~
Hey thanks for sharing~ Yeah I liked how stripped back it was, also the drums were cool :)
Part of the course ^-^
For that week we were looking at rhythm games and this was the game that was assigned to play around with and consider in my games design course. We'll be submitting a short written assignment where we pick one of the four games we looked at (Tiny Islands, Cookie Clicker, Lo-Fi Room or Fragments of Euclid) then try to describe the core gameplay loops, systems and information presented.
Hey, thanks for asking :) I think that should to be clearer inside the game, so that's helpful feedback. I wrote an explanation with screenshots here that explains how to do it~
Hi thanks so much for making a video on the game! :) I really appreciate it~ It was especially helpful to see how you used the menus, there's still a few improvements I should do there to make that clearer/ more intuitive.
Also I've just done a new update a few moments ago, so now you can play the levels you make with the beatmaker (like you were trying to do in the video)~
Thanks again for doing a video on the game~ :)
Hey, thanks very much :) If you've signed up: here then you're on the list. I won't send out any new keys for a while though as I haven't had a chance to add any more new levels since the last playtest. It'll probably take a couple of months before I send out any more keys~
Hey, thanks very much! :) It's cool it got you interested in making lo-fi music! I wrote a reply here once about how people can get started with that (you might know already know some of that already, but it might be helpful)
Thanks for sharing your beat too, I like how the guitar and bell melodies mix together~
If you're interested you can sign up to be a playtester: here I'm not planning a test soon, but when I do you'll have a chance to try a bunch of new levels early~ :)
Hey, thanks very much :) I'm glad you enjoy the art style and find the game comforting!
Ok :3 first one: ✨Name of the song: Boba Tea Midnight ✨

Hi no problem :) no you don't need a new tester key to see updates, but it's going to be a while before the tester version gets updated.
I updated it fairly recently but that was just to fix some bugs (and test out doing automatic builds). I think it'll be a couple of months yet before there's another playtest release. If you want to make sure you have the latest update just either download the file again using the link OR if you're using the itch app you can select the game, click the settings cog, click manage and then check for updates there.
Hey, sorry to hear this isn't working for you. In what way isn't it working? Are you unable to load other peoples songs? If so, I wrote a mini guide as a reply here that explains the process. Please let me know how you get on. Thanks~
Nice :) Thanks for taking part in the playtest! (Also I wouldn't expect anything too dramatic)~
Hi thanks for asking, it's a bit complicated at the moment. I'm hoping to make it a bit clearer in the next update. I wrote an explanation of sharing and loading beats here, so try following that. Let me know if you have any problems!
