About this game. Concerning the graphics, I made only the guitarist and the title screen. (I wanted to make all graphics by myself but I didn't have the time...) The character was made from video of me with my guitar, please be kind ;) I didn't have the time to make all the animations: walk, jump, air attack, return to idle anim from other anims....

@chandymande Hey thanks! Good high score bro ;) I don't know if anyone can beat you!
And yes it could be nice if the camera permit the player to move around. Thanks for the idea

I feel like that way you attack doesn't fit the way the game is playing, you attack like in a combat game but you have notes that come vertically. The animation and color are good !

Got 500 score, the game is pretty fun to play but I think it need more feature to keep the player around. The music is so good, i really like the bass sound but still I think it's quite simple. Keep working on it and I believe this will be so great ![Untitled.png](///raw/105/91/z/19bdd.png)

The visuals are awesome and it feel really good to smash those notes :) Except I didn't really feel any challenge, I just kept pressing LMB and never even got hit. Maybe it would be better if I had to charge not only to heal, but to be able to attack, so I cant spam it?

I never hit the game over. I stayed in the black, spamming on my A button, and I never died. Moreover, you could have use the music in a better way (like making riff combo for example, quite easy to implement if you are a musician). Anyway, well done!

Graphicwise looks a lot of Just Dance.
At first i didn't know on what to do so i started collecting notes, because i expected musicians + music = good.
In my second attempt I started by using the guitar one hit by another.
My third attempt felt kinds buggy because i found out about the "combo" attacks, but everytime i did a full charged move the character did it up to three times.

The game is great and it was fun, but I think that you could make the attacking animation a bit more smooth. The gameplay is very fun!

I scored 581. Once you played it once you start just doing the basic attack over and over again. When the music hits you many times, you can't see the UI. It was fun tho and it fits the theme. Nice work!

Graphics were really neat and the premise of the game was cool. As someone said earlier it was weird that your character attacked horizontally but the notes came vertically.

@rob-parker Thank you! And yes I'm agree about the vertical problem. I'll making a new version with some fix

@naked-kiwi Wow great score! Thank you for playing and taking time to leave a comment :)

@joshuc Thanks! I was targeting to double the framerate of animations. But you know, running ou of time instead of space:D

@gamescalation Yes a friend say me that was looking like just dance. I didn't realize before but I'm agree :)
Thank you for playing and giving feedbacks!

@djeycreations I like the idea of creating music combo, like in guitare hero maybe?
But I was taking almost all of my time doing animations... so the gamepley is very light :(
Thank you for the bug/trick reports!

@maksim-chugunov Thank you! charging increase your attack power (especially for the third) but maybe the game is too easy even without the need to charge.

@knmec Yes you're right, the mechanics of the game is too light. I lose soooo many times on animations... Anyway thank for the feedback!

@anstabo Thanks for the comment :) You're absolutly right, I'll be making the note comming more horizontally in the next version!

I don't know what is so satisfying about mashing notes with a guitar, but it is. Most of the time I didn't have the opportunity to regain screen space as there're way too many notes flying and they basically give no opportunity. I would suggest adding more an attack that clears screen from all notes cause it's fun and will give you the needed window to play the solo.

@chandymande 409 come at me. Anyways this might be the most satisfying game I've played this dare, that's for sure! I wish there was a tiny bit more to the game itself, but overall I loved it.

I really liked the game, it is very dynamic, but I think you need to work and add another nesoklko mechanic. too quickly bored. I was reminded of the game for the character I-NO in the game Guilty gear. It was be
fun

Yeah!! It was fun, but the diffucult escalates quickly when you receive the first damage. The art is very good!

The music was really nice. There wasn't much of a challenge as i think the attack is a little over powered, but i did enjoy the use of the guitar solo to bring push back the darkness. Well done
