Very good mood captured with most of the dialogue + music + audio. Some of the art was a bit lacking but the combination of being able to see the characters dance and the great dreary color palette absolutely made up for that :) Color coding each row of notes was a really subtle but great decision and being able to wrap from top and bottom made the later stages so much more doable, even if it was a bit disorienting at first!

Well worth to groove through all the levels.\n\nNow I proceed to sing praises to this game. While some may think that the graphics are on the basic side, I'd say they're actually very charming and do help build up the atmosphere. I like jamming with the guardians and making it all the way to the deepest void, with some bittersweet themes to it.\n\nAnd it might not sound like much, but I'm most impressed by the polish of the text. Not many games in these jams have the option to press the button to show more text and faster. It's usually all displayed from the start, or press to skip, or wait until it finishes appearing. These details really help the player enjoy the narrative at their reading pace. Fantastic!\n\nMy only \"issue\" is that to me, this wasn't much of a rhythm game which I was looking forward to, but rather, some \"reverse dodging\" game with some cool music to it. Rather than moving to the beats, it felt more like I was moving around do the beats would position to my position. It felt a bit awkard at the start, but it stopped being a problem soon.\n\nRegardless, I love it when jam games have music this good.

You always hope when you're competing in a Jam that you can really make a complete package, but usually you can see where things got cut, or the whole thing becomes something of a proof of concept. But this really did feel like a  complete package. \n\nI think I died on melody 6 about five or six times before I finished it, but it really felt like a proper 'boss' fight song, and is stuck in my head now. Lots of fun, and super impressive it was done in 72 hours.

The first few levels were alright. The 3rd and final level were the tricky ones for me, it didn't seem like the notes scrolling were in time with the beat. I wasn't able to pay attention to much of the animation since I was focusing too much on the incoming notes. They were a bit too fast for me; last level I had to put the volume down very low to just barely audible levels\n\nWhat artwork I was able to see is really good, and the music is fantastic...
