I felt that the game got super cluttered and too much obstacles were just popping up as you gathered more band members and progressed. Would have wished for a bit slower pace especially to support the strategy behind character switching. Graphics were nice and clear and the sound design was good as well. Good job!"},{"author_name":"Bocodillo","author_uid":"55271","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 4:52pm","epoch":1450284420,"text":"A pretty fun game with a cool idea!"},{"author_name":"Tony Coculuzzi","author_uid":"8692","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 5:36pm","epoch":1450287060,"text":"The music was cool, but sound that plays when picking up guitar picks didn't fit with the rest of the audio at all, and the track that plays for the vocalist really didn't mesh well either"},{"author_name":"monetai","author_uid":"57774","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 5:37pm","epoch":1450287120,"text":"a hell of a good game!"},{"author_name":"NirabazGAMES","author_uid":"65891","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 10:44pm","epoch":1450305540,"text":"Style like in southpark) I like it"},{"author_name":"Quadnozzle","author_uid":"57715","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 11:03pm","epoch":1450306680,"text":"very nice graphics! 'Growth' theme is a bit tenuous, but still a fun game. Liked the music, sound effects clashed a bit.

I added the level designs in the description above, so please read it next time.
