jamming out. as the song progresses the timing of notes becomes a bit off, but in general its a total blast
It’s very polished, the tweets are really in sync with the music and the different pitches for each note/key helps “feeling” the patterns and playing more with audio and less with visuals.
I also like the changes of expression, and how the hype gauge influences the foreground.
Sometimes, the last note appears at the same time as the first one starts showing stars so it’s hard to keep track, but adding sound or looking at the last note from the corner of the eye, it was okay.
The difficulty curve was irregular though: it starts very easy for a while, then intermediate for a very long time (where I started wondering if the game had an end), then it suddenly becomes very hard, for the few patterns left. Hard both because there are many notes, and they are placed closer to every other on screen, making the order in which we must press them less obvious. Eventually I lost almost all my hype at once, whereas it was full the rest of the time.
It wouldn’t be that much of an issue if you could wrap to any song section in some kind of training mode, but since you have to restart from the beginning, I didn’t have the courage to go through the easy-medium section again just to try to do better at the hard section. If you could either warp, or the difficulty was steadily progressive, I wouldn’t mind replaying a few more times.
Both of the two birds were unique, especially the Muscle Bird, whose movements and voice were interesting and very enjoyable.
I felt the song was a bit long, but thanks to the gradually increasing difficulty level, I was able to play it without getting bored.
It was also fun to play with them during the "tweet" learning part, where I also moved and created my own rhythm, and to have a session with them!
wow thanks you so much, it was really fun to see you play 💖
What an enjoyable music game, the tempo is great, and the bird characters look funny. You guys always deliver good games, thumbs up!
Keep trying to get an S…
It's fun, cute, funny, works well, everything feels properly synced to the beat and on top of that the graphic design/art is pretty ! Antoher tour de force from you guys, can't wait to play whatever you make next :D
SLAYYYY!
Had a really fun time playing it ! Nice art, and character poses, and smart placement of the left right and space indicators. And everything bounces lovely I love it.
One thing I would mention is that one of the tiny bird chips seems to not have a really clear attack, those blurring the rythm a little. Just a detail, overall great little game !
Cute game, the ending got quite difficult but the music was very good and it felt on beat (but that is coming from a guy with no rhythm ^^)
Well done!
Really fun little rhythm game, it works well, the music slaps and it's quite well made with the notes each on their side and the funny poses!
