That's a pretty stylish entry. I really like your visuals, music and the choice of theme as well.
I noticed a few things, in case you would appreciate some feedback:

- Coins can fall somewhere I can't actually reach (well, guess it's either realistic).

- I can move before the cam reaches me (is it supposed to be this way?).

- Once I've been stuck between a band member and a rail on the left and couldn't get out, just died there.

- Also after I died the bills were arriving again and again (sounds like my personal circle of hell).

The main question is... is it possible to survive, is there any ending besides you dying at some point? Or is it just me ain't playing jazz well?

@zhanna Thanks for the feedback! We fixed all the bugs you mentioned and updated the build.

It's possible to survive as long as you don't stop playing :)

I really like the style of this game. The idea is cool as well. The graphics is beautiful! I will give you 5 as innovation, I really think there is something never seen before at least for me. I would love to see an expanded version of this. I would suggest also to expand on what you can sing (like maybe jazz or blues or soul or country). Overall good entry!

man, some people are shit at throwing stuff. this is why it's tough to make it as a jazz musician? haha. I liked how the cyclists move and intro camera, tho. also,
nice animal crossing-esque scat vocal.

Awesome game which made me laugh very loud couple of times. :laughing:
**1st playthrough:** I died almost at the beginning even without crossing the bridge. Just tried to test controls.
**2nd & 3rd playthroughs:** I successfully reached the musicians and even started singing but also got died very fast. Btw, you may cheat and run faster by moving on diagonals. :runner:
**4th playthrough:** Finally, I figured out that my character is able to pick coins from the ground. That's where all fun begun.

**Overall** : art is great, gameplay is pretty unique, humor :thumbsup: .
Nice entry!

Excellent interactive music! Was fun to try and hit good notes. Great graphics. I was confused as to what to do at first. The ambience is great. I like how the musicians are synced to the actual playing. Really cool overall!

Daaa Boooo Bii Diii! I loved jamming out with the smooth Jazz Boiz. Only complaint is that I would have loved for the fade to death to be a little slower, so I could jam out some more before falling over dead.
Took a turn to figure out I needed to grab the coins to keep going :D! Hope to see more wonderful beautiful pieces from you in the future.
