Pretty different! I like the message about being thankful for your hearing -- definitely something that can be taken for granted!
The collision detection seems very accurate -- I noticed that the notes disappear as soon as they touch the black outline of the ear. (Speaking of ear, this is the second body part to feature in one of your games. I think I'm seeing a pattern here.)
The variety of genres is nice and the music selection is ok. The ones I heard were pretty chill and soothing.
Some of the gameplay is a bit confusing. At first I was like, "Why is the volume level going up at the bottom of the screen?" even though it wasn't actually getting louder. And then I figured out that the speaker icon is actually your health meter. I think that needs to be more obvious.
I'm guessing the "levels" don't end until you die and the goal is just to get a high score? I got up to 2000 or 3000 points a few times but quit after that to change genres.
The font style for the Credits was very painful to read.
There are some cool ideas here. It's a good Game Jam game and did a good job of working with the selected theme.
Thanks for playing, and for the feedback you gave me here. I will try to address some of your observations here.
So... About body parts... it's not a fetish or something it just happened :) I mean Bigfoot, and "Music to my ears" I can't help it, but go for the "as literal as possible" approach. :)
About the volume level, I think you just did not notice the "subtility" of volume control/health or I am trash at programming stuff like that XD But yes for a fact it is reducing/increasing volume and your health at the same time.
About the levels yes for a fact they theoretically go indefinitely or until you lose all volume due to exposure to loud noises :)
Also at one point, it reaches "Terminal velocity" and stop speeding up but it is really hard to keep up with that tempo you can reach it but won't last for too long.|
about font style in credits, I must say I AM SORRY, I wasn't thinking at all, it should've been some normal font not this...
Anyways thanks for the feedback I love it I will take it into consideration in the future it means a lot!
Thanks a lot!
It is a fun game. It felt too slow for a rock tho. Also, It would be funnier if it would look like I actually play it or something like that. Anyway, I had fun.
P.S. I think I found I bug. I could move the ear while in the pause menu.
Hey Thanks for playing, I am glad you had fun!
I will be fixing some bugs in the future.
I was really hoping this was going to end up being a rhythm game with the notes landing on the beat. Beyond that disappointment the game has some really great things to it! I really love the art style a lot! It's very unique and stands out!
On top of that, the music was awesome!! I really loved the 3-4 songs I heard. Are they original or are they from somewhere else? I was really jamming out to each piece.
And from a gameplay perspective I'll just say that it wasn't until the 4,000 score point that the game actually really started getting fun, however shortly after that when things started getting crazy it wasn't as fun again
Overall it was an awesome little game you made up! Keep it up!
Thank you, Austin, I am glad you like it!
What was your highest score?
I think I got somewhere around the 7,000 range? I gave it my best shot hahaha
Cool cool, after that it gets a bit harder.
