It took me a while to get used to using HJKL and my timing sucks but I liked the concept and music (when I was playing the tune right that is xD). My only critique would be that the \"monsters\" didn't register with me at 1st. I think its cause there are so many symbols going down the track that they never really stood out to me. Well Done!!!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":804744,"author_name":"lesinvisible","author_uid":"lesinvisible","epoch":1649272908,"text":"Neat little game, I likes the minimalistic graphics, they really have some ZX Spectrum vibe to them.

I also like the idea of using the \"Z\"s as an in universe health meter instead of just plugging in the numbers. \n\nIf I had to come up with a complaint, I wish the difficulty ramped up a little more. I played for quite a while but it didn't feel like it ever got particularly challenging. That's something that's hard to nail in just 48 hours and with no playtesters, though.\n\nOverall, good job!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":814933,"author_name":"LDJam user 76491","author_uid":"76491","epoch":1649420067,"text":"Pretty fun game! The visuals are great and the controls work really well. I have a question, is the music procedurally generated? Or maybe it's a combination of patterns in which you randomize things like tempo, pitch, etc? I've noticed that the notes seem to be random but the music changed from time to time as well.\n\nUsing colors to emphasize certain things in B&W visuals is something I've done in my entry as well, and it works so well! I also like the effects when you hit the notes.\n\nI enjoyed this one a lot, great work!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":822548,"author_name":"Dan Smith","author_uid":"dan-smith","epoch":1649605499,"text":"Really enjoyed playing this game, the art and music were great.
