Though it was pretty simplistic, there was definitely plenty of creativity put in here! I liked the application of the theme, and how the music panned as the characters moved. I would have enjoyed some ways to get the band out of formation, or to remove members from in the middle.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Perhaps an interesting idea for taking this further would be to make complicated levels you had to guide your band around, splitting them up with walls and such to cross unusually shaped paths, or hit multiple buttons? I'd suggest making the sound of the complete band a little less harsh though, to stop players throwing them off a cliff to quiet things down a little!"},{"author_name":"Crypto137","author_uid":"54849","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 2:36pm","epoch":1440426660,"text":"Not much of a game, but an interesting and innovative concept.

As an idea, a win or lose condition like &quot;kill all trumpet players&quot; would be cool."},{"author_name":"MegasDragos1","author_uid":"56468","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 2:37pm","epoch":1440426720,"text":"It's simple!

I like the idea and really think it could turn into a really fun puzzle game. The idea behind the game is really fun and creative. While I'm not a huge fan of the music the way you implemented the sound having it dynamically react to the movement was really cool. Really nice work for your first time."},{"author_name":"razavidn","author_uid":"54947","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 2:40pm","epoch":1440426900,"text":"Spent more time playing this than I thought I would for such a straightforward game. Really enjoyed hearing the different instruments get isolated depending on who I killed. Kudos - now let's get a leaderboard or win condition or something!"},{"author_name":"micdoodle8","author_uid":"36649","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 4:12pm","epoch":1440432420,"text":"Nice job on your first dare :) Simple, but with a few levels this could be very fun."},{"author_name":"colozz","author_uid":"55089","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 4:12pm","epoch":1440432420,"text":"Very simple, graphics are pretty, audio is sweet"},{"author_name":"@SamPotasz","author_uid":"21972","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 4:14pm","epoch":1440432540,"text":"I laughed.

It's only my... 4th one, so I'm not that much more senior than you :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It's an interesting toy, but yeah - think about game design! That's what we're making here! Games! Take this mechanic and see what you can do with it. Maybe let he player rotate the formation so that there's more option to what\/who can be thrown off (right now it's always a single row). Maybe restrictions in movement. Maybe you want to be left with certain combinations. Who knows? Try stuff :)"},{"author_name":"Wevel","author_uid":"37277","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 6:40pm","epoch":1440441300,"text":"Not exactly a game, but making the people fall of in different orders was nice"},{"author_name":"Rongefilet","author_uid":"25563","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 2:57pm","epoch":1440514320,"text":"So meta, loved it. ^^"},{"author_name":"zenmumbler","author_uid":"17143","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 3:02pm","epoch":1440514620,"text":"I like the idea of essentially throwing out sound channels.

Very original too.I find it a bit simple. I think you can have a really nice musical game concept here. Perhaps change tempo\/tone depending on where the band is playing?

It is innovative. It is definitely fresh. It was well done in what it proposed. But I wouldn't call this a game, it doesn't have the conditions of what I could call a game.
