"Click to vibe" is such a good description, because that's exactly what you do when you click. I love it, this bad boy is hot hot hot. The way the game controls really helps the player feel the rhythm, since you're really moving your body much more than you would be by just pressing keys! Well-thought out design, simple and elegant, and groovy as FUUUKKKKKKKK

Amazing to see an interesting new rhythm game in this day and age, even more amazing to know it was made for a jam!
Massive props, I love seeing low colour dithering pixel art used to simulate vector graphics, an awesome, unique look :)

Very great retro feeling pixel graphics + a rhytm game? Very nice, I enjoyed it a lot. Don't know how it's tied to the theme, but I don't even care for this game :D

@necauqua thank you!! i made it loosely tied to the theme through the circular movement so you're sort of "stuck" moving in a "loop" if that makes sense

Love it!
I know how to play the guitar, but am still terrible at this game...
...so thats a bit embarassing ;)
Great fun though!
My only suggestion would be to make it a bit more obvious when you hit a note.
I actually thought at first that the beats turning dark meant I hit them.

I really dig the vibes here! It was challenging at first but once I got into the rhythm everything clicked; I wish there were some more visual and especially audio feedback to actually hitting a note because it took me until i got a "combo" to be sure I was actually doing things correctly. But, I really dug it overall

Really fun! I love Rhythm games / Guitar hero type stuff. Really difficult! I would have liked some sound effect when I missed a note, or some other feedback, and my cursor sometimes left the game and messed everything up, but it didn't distract too much from the experience. Good job! (Screenshot from Coda)
