Thank you to everyone who played, rated, and commented on the game! It was a lot of fun to see what people liked, and what needed work.

For my part, this was the first LD I've ever been able to submit to, let alone place. An attempt was made waaaaaay back in LD21 with an entirely different team, but we were not able to submit in time.

Honestly, I have to thank @Sherlox for approaching me with the possibility- if it weren't for them, I would not have even done this at all!

I also have to thank @CamjoZ, @Gropthor, @Yukon for hopping right on and getting to it - they basically were given like a weeks notice and they just ran with it!

For our part, the main challenge came from the two pivot points that came at the halfway point, and in the last two hours of the competition, respectively. For the first, we had to drastically change the layout of the game - as mentioned in a previous post, despite the layout looking cool, the signs overlaid each other and it was pretty much impossible to anticipate button presses for notes. And the second was when we realized that note sheets for five unique songs and three difficulty settings would be not possible to achieve in the remaining time from the pivot.

Big props to @Sherlox for being able to shift gears in the last two hours and aim for an old school "demo-like" feel.

We knew that the game definitely needed more polish, but were happy to see quite a few people enjoy it in spite of the rough edges.

That said, we now have a new set of goal posts moving forward, including:

1)Added visual input for note presses

2)Implementation of all five (already made) songs and their music sheets, visuals, and difficulties.

3)Better synchronization for all music.

4)Additional/enhanced visuals for stages.

5)An overall more polished experience (UI, tutorials, gameplay, etc)

6)Secrets...?!

At the bare minimum, we'll be aiming to do these for a "Post-LD Build" of our game. If there are any other requests/thoughts that anyone who played the game has, feel free to share in the comments below - we're excited to hear from you!

Overall the LD was an extremely positive experience for us and we're excited for what comes next! (Also, stay tuned for an additional, separate mystery project!)

Thanks again for playing!
