Orchaostra by Bruno Cafe

[raw]
made by Bruno Cafe for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

Welcome to ORCHAOSTRA, a music concert performed in the day of almost end of the world. A place between ambition's east and fear's west that burns in the flames of destruction. The hatred, the greed, the opression generated a chaotic system with emotionally unstable subjects. But be cool. Keep calm and don't panic. The salvation may be in your hands. Or better, in the hands of the conductor of the orchestra. Only music can restore the harmony and save the planet of destruction. A mission that won't be easy, since the musicians are let's say, pretty unstable with the situation.

WINDOWS BUILD / Difficulty: HELL. Are you a player insane enough?

ITCH.IO / Difficulty: POSSIBLE. But don't think it'll be easy. ;)

I like the visual style of this game. I think the controls could have been more intuitive if the keys were placed next to each other, for example Q, W, E, and R instead of A, D, left and right. Also I think the song got a bit too difficult relatively early. Overall I think it was a very well made game, especially in terms of sound and graphics.

The music & sound effects are great! Very fun game. Be warned: Difficulty goes from 0 to 100 fast.

The first time I tried the web version the bottom bar didn't render, which made it a _very_ confusing experience. Worked perfectly after that though!

Love the concept, the art is amazing, and the way the music responds to mistakes is great. My fingers weren't quite up to the challenge of accurately hitting each note but with a bit of spamming (and selective avoiding of the bad notes) I got to the end. Nice one!

This is SO DIFFICULT, but I LOVE IT! The music is amazing and the art style is cute. I can't press the buttons fast enough, but it's just because I'm bad at games like this. I'm very impressed by it.

I did find a small bug where the music stave didn't show up until I pressed retry, but I was having fun performing my gestures anyway.

More animations, easier gameplay and it could be really nice game!

I'm usually not a big fan of at rhythm games, but this one felt pretty accessible and I was able to finish it (the Itch.io version) successfully. The visuals are interesting, and I enjoyed the music.

I did have the issue where the actual game didn't show up for the first attempt. Also, it wasn't immediately obvious that you were supposed to *not* hit the notes marked with x's, although maybe that's just me not knowing how rhythm games work.

Overall, a fun game with nice music.

Fala galera! Que bom que vocês subiram uma versão com controles alterados e menos impossível, hehe, eu fiquei super frustrado jogando a versão anterior, não passava de 10s. Dessa vez consegui terminar e prestigiar o jogo do começo ao fim :D

A execução tá bem feitinha, dava pra botar um pouquinho mais de feel aqui e ali, mas não tive nenhum bug em nenhum momento. Achei bem bonitinho e bem da hora a música. A coisa que eu achei q ficou faltando era uma aderência maior ao tema. Acho que acabou ficando praticamente só na parte visual e em uma mecânica (nota bomba), e foi pouco. Eu praticamente não consegui olhar pras consequencias do meu erro, porque eu não podia parar de olhar pra track debaixo hahhaha.

Parabéns pela entrada aí, galera, tudo de bom.

The music was a little screechy on browser but the concept is funny

Great music! I really enjoyed the wrong notes the orchestra would play when you screw up, very entertaining!
The difficulty scaled nicely and presented a challenge towards the end

Art was fantastic, gameplay loop was fun and got really intense really quickly, the music itself was nice but tended to stutter/go out of sync with the note inputs - unsure if this was me running the game emulated via Wine or not though since the web browser version seemed to have similar issues.

Overall great job! :)

First time it loaded in the browser the bars were missing. After I died and it reloaded they were visible. Not normally a fan of classical music, but that was still fun enough to keep me playing

I liked so much the visual and the music is great as well, all games at game jams has bugs, the guitar hero feeling was amazing with the strong music :) maybe an ligh level for the first try would be more accepted and could make people pass the level : )
