I really like the one you made for LD54 so I was expecting something good and it is :id:
I love how the core mechanics is simple but the execution is near perfect, the level of polish is amazing

First place lets go! Amazing level of polish, music is great, mechanic is fun. Its like a social Guitar Hero haha, congratulations on the submission


OMG I LOVE YOUR GAME. Everything look perfect and polish. Currently n°1

Oh, I love it, its a great take on like rythm games. would love to see this as a ddr format ;) Id make friends to dance

Очень веселая игра, классная механика, играли всей командой, все в восторге!

10/10 Super Awesome!!! I really really enjoyed playing this game! Thanks alot for this little gem ;)

great looking game, can't figure out what I'm doing wrong though... great graphics/music/sounds

Nice entry, the art is beautiful and the game easy to understand and play. Great job! :smile:

I love this game! The level of polish is something, I played it for like 20 minutes or more '^^ was unable to pass round 4 haha
The work on the sound is something, well done !

I've got a new high score!


It's like a rhythm game but for people like me without any rhythm but with good reaction time. It's really fun!

I love the audio. It si so setisfiing. I my record is round 4.

Nice game)
Sometimes I think figures are lagged. But It's simple and good and fun.
Well done!

Also, sometimes I get a weird bug. You choose the correct shapes but it counts as a wrong shape. I got it the first time I started playing the game and was really confused. Still not sure how to fix it reliably.

One of the best I played so far! Great art, great SFXs, great execution overall. The fact that it even have an online leaderboard system is really impressive. Congratulations to you on the game and to your dad on the music!

@rollcreators I added an alternative web version if you are finding that the HTML5 version is has too much lag.

@kpids Interesting... I'll look into it. Thanks for letting me know. (Edit: I think I fixed it, it was an issue due to the song looping)

Very well executed, definitely enjoyable

super fun game and very fun to battle with other participants :D

The best game I played so far! Really enjoyed artstyle and music. Does scoreboard is really working and takes people who played?

I really liked this game! You guys are great!

I thought the style of input was very innovative while still achieving that "flow" kind of feeling I always want from the genre. The presentation and music were both awesome too, and the way things go well until they wildly spin out of control made think - okay, just one more play.

Good stuff all around, a very enjoyable play experience.

The atmosphere is out of this world. It took me about 4 tries to understand what the timing wanted, but the gameplay loop is so short that failure was a good teacher, while the happy shapes cheered me on. I do wonder what the edge behavior is if the score goes too high, but it seems unlikely in the space of a game jam and I like the arcade feel of the UI.

Thanks for explaining the leaderboard on stream, the irony of those at the top looking for friends most often is pretty witty.

This game looks so polished and finished. You accomplished a lot with the gameplay and scoreboards. I really like bright colors on a black background personally, so I was drawn to the aesthetic of your game. Overall, all the visual choices were nicely done and I like the little faces on the guys, great job :^)


Very sweet game! At first I was trying to play this like a rhythm game - It took me awhile to realize that this was actually a reflex game where you wanted to press the button as soon as you saw a shape coming towards you! Once I realized that, I feel like the game got a whole lot harder (in a fun way)

My only real complaint was that I had such a hard time remembering which shape/color corresponded to which arrow key - I would have definitely preferred if there was some sort of visual cue for which direction to press, because I apparently have the memory of a goldfish and had to keep looking down at the key in the corner 😅 I think this is in fact what the kids call a "skill issue" though - The game was just emphasizing a skill that I don't have!

Overall, really good job! I had a lot of fun!

I maybe like this game, perhaps. Anyhow, 5th place as I type this :D

You're awesome. Your dad is awesome. Awesomeness all around. YES. Thank you for making this game. I can't wait for the mobile versionnnn!!!!!

This game is so polished!! I love it

Also, your dad is a king bro, the soundtrack is epic and fits the game so well

Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to watch it again in the future heres the vod of the stream (with a chapter for your game)

Got to #2 on the leaderboard post stream, im coming for that #1 spot

I really enjoyed this, it took me a few goes to get into the stride
of things but I dig it! And the music is sweet too!
Great Work!

Great little game! Gamepad support works nice, though I apparently scored better with keyboard =). The unique names are a nice touch, and the leaderboard is great.

Lovely game! Simple but effective. Here's the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2124124735 Thanks for submitting!

This was super - I like that it feels like an old game and like Simon, do you know Simon - it was very fun - I will definitely play this again, I want this on my phone.

Really fun game, I can't believe people got to stage 8! Everything was really polished; the graphics, music and the gameplay, great entry!

The only thing I would like to see change, is maybe some more distinct colors or add some lines or something within the shapes (green and yellow kinda similar-ish to me)

Playthrough can be found here: https://youtu.be/9X9SR_20PuQ

So good! I'm coming for a spot in the top 20. Watchout Pomo, Kepsert, et. al. Really enjoyed this, thanks for submitting <3

Really great game, well done, the gameplay is very well done and the game polished!

Glad to see you in another LD :) I loved your submission last year. This one again has a banger track and a good bit of polish. Love games with leaderboards. Also I thought the space-spinning effect is really cool as the friends come flying into orbit. But because the music was so banger, and the friends flew in almost rhythmically, I kept feeling compelled to press the arrow key at the same time that the friend enters the < >. But when I would do that, I'd miss. It would be too late. So I knew I needed to press it sooner, but that bit was a little unintuitive for me.

Well done, love the style!

Loved the oontz and the vibe in this one. I had the same issue as some other commenters that I wanted to treat it like a rhythm game and time my button-presses to the crossover point, but it was quickly fixed.

There's a ton of great visual polish here. I've stopped playing, but the music is still running in my head and my toe is still going to that beat. Nicely done.

Awesome game, had to read the warning about it begin not-a-rhythm-game and after that it went smoothly (but I still kept pushing arrow on the beat... I guess habits die hard :grin:)

Addictiveness is on-point :heart:

@rincs @ogma-badparenting101 The Android version has now been released! Enjoy!

@benjamin-halko OMG YES WOW THAT WAS FAST. This is perfect, I was just about to go on two flights 8D

Had a lot of fun with this one, thanks for submitting it to my stream,

you can rewatch the VOD here

Super groovy and fun! Got 13th, which I'm happy with. My personal strat was to catch the colors out of the corner of my eye and keep my eyes on the lower left, which worked well enough. Thanks for making!

Maaan, I love LD entries with online highscores! It's always so nice to try to beat others and leave your nickname out there in the top :D

The game is super fun, I love this cute and friendly sound when you successfully match the incoming shape. The music is also pretty good.

There are two small things that could be improved in my opinion. I know it's not a rhythm game, but it seems very similar and my muscle memory tricks me here constantly: shapes should be considered not matched when they run out of your screen/leave the space where you spawn your shapes, not when they touch it. In rhythm games you usually want to press the button when the note is right on top of your reference point, not before it. Imho it would be nice if this game here allowed pressing the shape in later moment like this.

Also, the sound and visual effects when you complete the round look as if you messed something up, but they are signalling the good outcome (you have finished a level and you're going to the next one).

Other than that, there's nothing to complain about. Great entry, gj!

I came back and got my spot in (as of this writing) 3rd place! I got to round 9... but can I go further?

Improved to third place

got super close to level 10 as well

I also just spotted that the name of the friends are taken from the leaderboard. That's awesome!!


OMG first place but 1 friend away from lv 10 :(


Sorry for spamming the comment section, but I got level 10 :balloon: :fire:


[Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2124979046?t=01h34m02s)

Despite your insistence that this isn't a rhythm game, I found it much easier to keep up my combo by thinking of it that way. :sweat_smile:

@ausstein ........ You've already gotten first place! Leave some points for the rest of us! :laughing: GG!


The game has a bug. Happend to me twice now, IDK if the first time was exactly at the same spot but it was half way trough level 12 as well

At level 12 35/70 friends, the game stops accepting friend matches, but you still get negative points for switching. After roughly 20 seconds maybe, the game resumes as normal and almost inevatably you loose a live.
Right now I had a live to spare at that point but the first time the bug happend my run ended right there.

Would be nice if that could be fixed ;)

I'll try to record it happening if that helps.

Detailed description:

-you reach level 12 35/70

-when a shape hits your summoned friend nothing happens, the shape dissapears, no sound, no points, no live lost.

-shapes keep spawning like normal

-you still loose points for switching

-after maybe 20 seconds game goes back to normal

-I reached that point twice, both times the bug happened

@ausstein Thanks for letting me know of this bug. I'll try to fix it as soon as possible. Sorry about that!

@ausstein Fixed the bug. It was an issue with the pitch shifting of the higher rounds messing up the beat calculations.

@benjamin-halko thx!

Got to lv 12 51/70 without it triggering, so it seems to work :)

Since the bugfix I'm experiencing quite frequent Lag Spikes.

They definetly weren't present before and I restarted PC, cleared browsing cache everything, so I don't think it can be anything on my side

@ausstein Which web version are you using? I did change how the web assembly version was compiled. I was previously using the "less powerful" compiler by mistake. Maybe the "better" compiler is actually worse?

this one https://benjamin-halko.itch.io/make-new-friends

it was running fine on my laptop before and its still running fine on my desktop. So maybe the issue is on my end.

btw the difficulty increase from 12 to 13 is insane. I got into lv 13 with full health 3-4 times now and lost very quickly every time :D

@ausstein Yeah, I think it is just a problem on your end. I can see what I can do about the difficulty spike. I honestly didn't think anyone would make it that far.

@benjamin-halko
its fine I got used to it and beat it now :D


Hi, I wanted to try it on mobile, but I can't start the game at all. It asks for the username, but when I tap "username", it temporarily hides the title and show only "username", and less than a second later it goes back to the title.

I forgot to say it, but it was the itch version (I just noticed there's a play store version 😅)

@ausstein GG!

@wendel-scardua Yeah, the itch version isn't meant to be played on mobile. It doesn't have access to the virtual keyboard.

so cool and catchy... really clever idea how to approach the theme! Great job done! Excuse me now, I need to get a better score :)
