Rokku Bando by Yanrishatum
"If you perform well enough, a spirit of music will appear to join and guide you".
Well, it does sound a bit fishy, but why not? The theater is almost empty anyway.
You could even call some friends on the stage. The more musicians there are in the band, the easier it must be to summon the spirit, right?
...right?

- Use [space] + [q][w][e][r] or arrows to hit the notes.
- Lose hearts on miss, gain hearts on 3x perfect hit.
- Aim for the golden hearts to summon the music spirit!
- Embrace the rhythm! And tentacles.
- Play in browser!

The sync of the buttons though was really good and i liked the graphics really much. Great Band playing the music :D also cool composition in the whole a great attempt on making a game in the style of guitar hero but directing the whole rock band. Good job.
Nevertheless, thank you for the feedback. Next time we'll be sure to tune and combine tracks more seamlessly.
Gostei da estética e acho que a implementação da mecânica de tempo ficou boa com o controle pelo teclado. Senti um pouco de falta de algum feedback maior quando acerto ou erro... Bom jogo! :flag_br:
First few games I was pressing the QWERT buttons but nothing happened... realized I had to hit space for that red line, and also that I had to click the QWERT input option.
I got 5275 on the easy mode. I was on top of things thanks to the steady pairing of QE, and I could handlle three things... space, R, and some QE. Once W was added to the mix I started falling apart.
Nice progression of difficulty for one long play-through altho it was maybe a bit slow for repeated plays. Tough to make it work well on my first play and my third or fourth. I tried hardmode but got pretty wrecked by it after the longish intro phase of bass and drum.
I appreciated that I could see near-hits vs hits, that was a nice touch. The art of the band itself was cool but I could only steal the occasional glance, unfortunately.
Nice entry!
