Barber Chop by RadStar

[raw]
made by RadStar for LD34 (JAM)
Hello!

Here is our LD34 submission , "Barber Chop" !
The theme was a tie between "growing" and "two buttons controls", so we made a beard grooming rythm game :) .
You have to cut your client's beard in rythm with the music!

To do so, you have two keys : X and C , or LEFT arrow and RIGHT arrow.
Press those keys when the left and right circle reach the dashed line.

If you experience any latency between the game and the music, please refresh the page.
This should solve most of synchronisation problem.

Have fun!

Not quite sure what all the junk in his beard was about, but loved it, perhaps a bit more contrast on the beat icons would help, but this is one of my favorites so far.

Haha very nice! "Incridible". Saw that you put a lot of effort in making interesting beat patterns.

Short, but sweet. Excellent sound too. My only complaint is that I was so focused on hitting the targets that I couldn't look at the great art more!

It was interesting so many things were caught in the beard, nice graphics and music.

Very well done, it felt like a commercial mobile game. Maybe you guys should continue making this for real? :)

Nice growing beard! However, the items in the beard were too distracting, i missed a few times because of the gameboy!

That was fun. The rythm was very well designed for this kind of game. I can imagine all the funny title you could have choosen with the beat<->beard puns :)

Very nice idea to propose different keys to play ;).
The music is soooo good *o* !
I love the art too, even if I don't have the time to look what is in the beard :D
Excellent job :) !

Brilliant stuff. Played a lot of rhythm games since I started rating and this is the best one by far. Firstly it's synced properly (seriously lol), and secondly the progression in the note patterns is very well designed. Felt very natural for me to just jump into, which is usually tough for new rhythm games.

Great aesthetics too. Superb job :)

Had a good amount of fun with this one. Reminiscent of many other rhythm games, but the themes were followed well and the overall layer of polish was nice.

Cutting beard with good sound, what could be better?! =)

That was fun! At first I thought the stuff in the beard would be something to avoid or so, which was a little confusing. The feedback on cutting the beard is really nice, but does the holding the beard do anything?
Besides we should have gone with a falling icon kind of thing for our rhythm game as well probably. Nicely done!

Thank you all for your amazing feedbacks! :)
inbetweengames: in fact, we changed the gameplay a few times before finding the most suitable one. And holding the beard and avoiding stuff are 2 things we didn't have the time to remove.
We are currently working on a polished and adjusted version of the game with more musics and a more understandable indications :) we'll keep you informed when the game is out!

oh man, it really ramped up in difficulty all of the sudden! Awesome work, I was hoping there would be a few great rhythm games this LD! :D

Nice a bit addicting, great music and rhythm based gameplay, just this things in his beard was a bit disturbing beside that graphic was really nice :)

Two thumbs up! A bit confused at first as to what I was doing and what the icons meant but otherwise, great!

A very interesting concept for a music rhythm game. Honestly I missed the instructions and thought you were supposed to click on the symbols, so that could be some possible touch screen controls.

A lot of fun, but could not really enjoy the art, because I had to focus on hitting the notes!

Quite a nice entry. The refresh was really necessary, and afterward the beats fit very well to the music. Good graphics and very theme-appropriate. Would have liked a bit more interaction with the different elements, like if you missed a beat it would cut the beard (and swapping out the left arrow action), thus making it a competition for getting the longest beard.

Great game, great music and awesome mood! The only pproblem is that the junk in his beard don't add anything to the gameplay.

"Wonderful" entry! I think it is my favourite rythm game in this LD. It is very polished and the audio is excellent. I just wish there is more level to it :p Excellent job ! ;)
