About

Known Bugs/Issues

* Arrows can be a *little* off with the music (you may have to hit ~0.1 second sooner or later), depending of your browser and computer! Didn't have time to make a calibration phase!

Few words

Hello and thank you for your interest in TQQOTIF!
We worked really hard to provide a game that's fun to play, and has a nice balance.

We were only two and barely had any experience with pixel art (or art in general tbh), so it was kind of daunting to make all these props by hand.
Happily the wonderful GIMP's option pixelize helped us at improving our art direction!

Don't hesitate to play the game and enjoy its soundtracks and unique art style!

Cheers, matt & uj

Brilliant game, it's so funny. Maybe some feedback as to when you are hitting the notes would be great, like a particle effect.

My favorite game so far. I love weird games, and this one is super weird. I love it! xD Found myself dancing uncontrollably

Radical Dog4 Dec 2018, 15:15

I love how bizarre this game is!

Just... Genius

Haha the humor and the music are amazing. Are you from france possibly? :-)

wowa4 Dec 2018, 21:42

Nice small rhythm game! The "sacrifice" felt a bit forced but never the less nice entry :)

uinelj4 Dec 2018, 22:10

@mouthlessgames : Thank you for the kind words! Yeah, we are :-)

This was a great implementation of DDR mechanics, and the twist of sacrificing bits and pieces was super cool.

Loved the Banjo-Kazooie style voice bits, although their volume might be a bit loud. Also feel like you should be able to skip through all the text if you like.

But the dialogue was funny, and the characters were strong, and the music was fantastic. Could maybe even be a bit harder. ;)

Here's my play: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/344727890?t=01h41m54s

Groovy - Love the cool and funny story. I also love this art style. It's very well done - Fun game.

Your game was played on my stream ( twitch.tv/ursagames ) for the first day of Ludum Dare streams - you can find the timestamp of your game here: https://goo.gl/N2rkr8

I really enjoyed the rythm gameplay and customization of features with the sacrifices you had to make along the way. I think the gameplay was really solid and it's a neat charming game :)

guine5 Dec 2018, 13:59

I loved the idea!

I like the game!

Congratulations!

GerardB5 Dec 2018, 23:09

Funky fun game! Really liked it :D

Luxry6 Dec 2018, 00:48

it had to be done...
fun game although I did notice some audio syncing issues

uinelj6 Dec 2018, 11:30

@luxry wow man that's so cool ! I hope the choreography wasn't too absurd for your feet :)

Luxry6 Dec 2018, 18:03

@uinelj actually the choreography was pretty good. There's one part of the final ramen battle that I thought was unexpected and tripped me up but the hectic nature of it went along with the music so I appreciated it. I would be hooked on a full game of this, had a lot of fun playing it.

Nekonyo6 Dec 2018, 18:27

The audio is very cool and there is a lot of work there 😁. It is simple and repetitive, you take some ideas and add them up together in this game which makes it fun for playing it first time when you don't know what's next and how the next character will be.

Did I save the planet? Did I? I need to konw! I am not very keen of rhythm games as well as I'm not very good at them. Fortunatelly yours is very forgiving so I always won the match even though I shouldn't have. Still some parts of the battles were nicely sync in a way that made sense to me and actually felt satisfiying, not chaotic as the games of this kind often are for me. I love the rest though, weird game, weird premise, weird characters, I like that very much! Interesting experience, thank you very much! :)

Pokang7 Dec 2018, 01:03

Crazy work on this game, I really recommend it! The soundtrack is super good if you like chiptune like me I liked the rhythm game which reminded me of good old rhythm mechanics, super cool game overall!♥

tigerj7 Dec 2018, 07:27

I danced a lot here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/345748006?t=01h32m35s

I haven't played DDR in a while so I was pretty rusty starting off, but I got the hang of it eventually. Luckily the AI was bad enough that it was hard to lose.

Great game, the humour was spot on and the sacrifice mecahnic was interesting enough. There were a few problems around the place, like I feel the first song didn't sync with the arrows that well, but it's a jam game so these kind of minor issues are expected.

Well done.

rumor8 Dec 2018, 22:27

Saw this on Twitch and had to try it. Nice work! Your game has a ton of personality. Music is reasonably good (important considering the genre). Some of the art is going to give me nightmares though. It's fun, funny, and flies by. What more could you want?

hechi9 Dec 2018, 20:33

Funny game. Good work!

Saering10 Dec 2018, 09:44

Funny game! I enjoyed playing it and I liked the mechanic of choosing between every duel ! The atmosphere of the game is strange but it is pretty unique, so I'd say this is overall a great entry :)

ColeSlaughter10 Dec 2018, 10:04

Aw man, a rhythm LD game, I am all OVER that.

I love that you guys managed so stuff a bunch of personality in the game too. :) I loved the way you guys implemented the dialogue system, and the writing on top of it was super clever. Also, that soundtrack was bumpin'. FanTASTIC job all around!

Unfortunately I think I encountered some syncing issues with the beatmaps and the audio. Hopefully you guys are using dspTime to keep everything in sync instead of deltaTime of fixedDeltaTime? Either that, or the grace window for hitting beats is way more forgiving than I expected.

Regardless, it wasn't too much of a detriment, because I still loved everything about this game. Awesome entry!

Stendingauthor10 Dec 2018, 11:29

Thanks everyone for the feedbacks, it really helps and warms our hearts!

@coleslaughter I didn't know of dspTime actually, I feel really stupid haha! It'll probably fix the issue! Thank you so much for that info and for the kind comment!

elysiagriffin18 Dec 2018, 20:08
