This game was made in a cooperation of gentlymad and pixelpub. Have fun!
Graphics are brilliant. Sound effects and music are brilliant, although having said that it would be cool to hear the instruments make a sound when he plays them.
As stunning as it looks and sounds and I didn't think the gameplay was very interesting. I would have found it fun if when you sat at a piano you then had to play something for a while. Maybe some notation could pop up with keyboard letters underneath.
The art is wonderful. And I love the music. The gameplay is original, but As the first says. Could be improved with maybe minigames at the instruments or something.
Love the graphics and audio! The gameplay could be better though. It's confusing at first that you can only play instruments when you stop moving and it would have been more fun to play instruments _while_ dodging. The instruments also give too much of a bonus, so dodging isn't even necessary.
Really beautiful game, very funny as well. I Included it in part 10 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/YpdCMKphEUw
Nice graphics and great concept! Since the game is about music, integrating playing the instruments in the background music track would have made the game even better!
Hey guys, thank you for the comments so far (and especially for the beard trophy I guess). :D A post Jam version would be cool, we will see how much time we have to realise it. Having a certain song for each instrument would be cool, we just couldn't do it in time during the jam but it is something we definitely would integrate into the post jam version. :)
Gameplay-wise, the controls are just fine, but the game could use some progression in the difficulty (if there is some, I didn't notice it) : it is way too hard the first time you try it, but once you get it... much easier. And it stays like that until you stop playing.
