The rhythm elements worked great most of the time, there are a few times where you're expected to hit a beat while you're listening to the prompt from another window, and that always felt a bit off. Having said that, when windows line up in a way that you can actually decode it's really fun to be able to hit them in quick side-to-side combinations.
I feel like this is an interesting combination of beat rhythm games and note track rhythm games, and I'd love to see it expanded upon. Really nice work.
I think text boxes for different people, or maybe an indicator for when they were approaching, would make the combos easier to reach. For the combos I did get, I think the little happy sprite change is was the most adoreable thing!
Gameplay wise, it's a bit shallow as you can just mash both buttons very fast and still get everyone a flower.
Still a fun and quite different experience, this one :)
There is something strangely motivational and uplifting about this game. Thank you for creating this gem, it's entries like this which make Ludum Dare special!
Well done :heart:
Good job, keep up the good work!
- Love the music and how it interacts with the gameplay and voice lines of the townspeople. The "I hate you!" happening so often felt a bit harsh in contrast with the overall upbeat feel of the music and gameplay.
- Excellent visuals, extremely polished gameplay and I love the unique perspective from which the game is played.
- Such a unique take on a rhythm game! Would be cool to see a score total at the end or have some effect from successfully/unsuccessfully throwing flowers at people.
- Not sure what it has to do with the jam theme but either way I loved it!
I think the rhythm aspect is a biiiiiiiiiit wonky, but to be fair, rhythm games are really hard to implement in a single weekend. I really enjoyed the beat that went along with it though. :slight_smile: Would love to see this expanded upon!
