Feel happy when playing the music but also stressful under everyday training? In this game you can freely perform music to fight against those boring exercise!

With the rock version of the famous music Canon, try to make a perfect performance and defeat all those difficulties on the sheets!


Combination of 2 INCOMPATIBLE GENRES: Music game and STG game. Experience on PC may be a little hard, we will process on a mobile version later. screenshot.jpg



Ver 1.0 4/24. Knowing bug in tutorial level( does not influence the process. Still unfinished animation and part of the monster queue will be added in later versions.

- You can view the demo video if you found it hard to play. https://youtu.be/LyZYthOpMFQ Sorry for not having enough time to adjust the bullet

Interesting idea!

It's hard to focus on both playing the piano and trying to dodge the enemies at the same time. I also couldn't seem to shoot the enemies since my bullets just hit their bullets.

The sounds for the piano are also really rough and harsh.

nice concept, but could use polishing!

Crazy game! I loved the visuals. My only real complaint was it was really hard to get used to [A] moving left, but [D] didn't. I wish there was some control scheme that didn't break years of WASD muscle memory and allowed for the keyboard keys.

There was so much to focus on, it was really hard to do both at once. I quickly either stood in place and played piano or dodged and ignore the piano. It was really hard to hit any enemies since they would block your fire with there own.

Great job!

Was difficult (although I foudn out towards the end I could just spam keys ;D), but definitely an interesting take. o_o

I liked the music. As the person above mentioned, spamming key seems to work. It was really fresh idea and it was definitely interesting.

Cool visuals, I'm so bad at the rythim games that I don't even want to comment on that. NICE WORK.

That was a nice idea!

But I have to say that it was very difficult to mix those ones. Where I was playing I was only focusing on one of the genres (piano o STG) and I feel that it was not important (in the game) to be ignoring one part of the
other gameplay.

Also background music (canon) was too soft compare with the keys effect (it would be nice if the main music will be loud because I need the rythm of that to anticipate my movements).

Art is nice but iwith some short kind of animations it would be very nice!

Anyway, it was a good and hard try, good work!

Extrange combination. Graphics are good for a game jam, but the collisions of the enemies and the speed the attack isn't well optimized. It's pretty hard to play xD. Anyway, cool entry!

The game was a little hard for me, but I'm really bad at rhythm games) Overall good job, but wish there were less things to follow during gameplay, well at least at the begining

This game is very sweet. I'm not a fan of rythm game but I have to say, your game have a lot of charms, the presentation, the graphics, the gameplay. Well it's not perfect, like the other say the ennemies bullets keeps coming and prevent mine to kill them, and the music is weirdly balanced (or maybe it's my computer ?) But overall it's a great game , quite original ! A good entry for this LD, good job !

it's hard to focus on aliens and piano part at the same time, but i think it was quite enjoable

Aright so it definitely looks like you invested a LOT of time and energy into this game that seems to be very personal also - in the meantime... it's way too hard ^^# There are WAY too many things going on on the screen at once like you gotta keep an eye at the bottom of the screen for the notes BUT ALSO the TOP to avoid the ennemies and like... yeah, it's way too hard! Same for the piano notes to play - why are there 11 of those? 4 would have been plenth - then again, that's coming from someone who's never taken any piano lessons. I mean it's nice and interesting and all but it's pretty damn near unplayable so... Nice effort ^^#
