Musical Thrones by DecadeDecaf
Ruler Tempo in all their musical majesty challenges the player to a game of musical chairs. The player must traverse the royal throne room before the music ends to claim the title of gender-neutral sovereign over the land of Melody. However, the anthem isn’t long enough, so the player must complete time-sensitive “quick-time” events with their keyboard to repeat sections of the song.

Overall, the level of polish on this game is beyond the pale by compo standards, so great job.
1. first play through it took me awhile to understand that i had to use the arrow keys for the symbol choosing, i was clicking on them
2. symbols seem to give very little time on the 3rd choice
3. typing words didnt need to be typed in order
great job!

The button at the bottom with the crossed-out E lets you toggle "evitable" mode, which lets you play the whole song without getting interrupted by a win. Realizing I didn't really make that clear, but thought it would be a good idea to add before the deadline since some people might want to go for a perfect score!
i suppose my only comment would be that the memorize the symbol mini-game wasn't super clear at first, i was able to figure it out on the second try though.
good job! 👍
Although, as @andy-beers mentioned, too little time is given on 3 item when memorizing
It was a good idea to split the song into meaningful parts and switch the mechanics up, so the game won't get boring.
All in all a very cool entry. I had fun.
