Have you ever been to a stadium where everyone made a giant wave? In this game, you control the wave! Press buttons at the right time to keep the wave alive. How long can you last?
Nice and simple! Having to manually control the camera is a interesting twist on "press the button at the right time" but I found that once I found the right speed I could just leave the mouse in place and I could continue forever. I'm not sure if that's intentional or not.
I think mixing up the gameplay in one way or another would give it more longevity but I'm not immediately sure how I would do that.
@sayumeki Thanks for the comment :) You are right, the game could use a few changes as you progress. As for controlling the camera, I just wanted the player to be able to see the game from the view that they wanted. Though I should have made it more a part of the game.
This was a really fun concept. Took some time to get into the rhythm. And sometimes the camera went really fast. But great game, played if for a long while :smile:
Congrats on finishing a game for your first jam! It was quite a fun game, I would love some more feedback on the right time to click the button though, either that or I generally suck ^^" good job!
@harry-alissavakis Yes, I should make it more apparent as the wave crosses a section. I will think of ways to improve this.
@captainabi The mouse button does nothing XD, you only use mouse position to have the camera look where you want. I should have been more clear in the instructions.
I don't know if you can call this a rhythm game, but it feels like one. I sat for a long time seeing how far I could go. I love the fact that you took something as simple as a wave and made is work perfectly for this competition. Nice work!
This is definetly my favorite entry so far. The graphics are simple but I think they fit perfectly the concept. Sound effects are really good too and the gameplay is smooth. You did an amazing job here. Congratulations on your entry!
Since Flap Bird, It's the more simple innovative game! This is a casual game, but could be a game for learning typing. Keep with this project! I think the possible for a mobile game is change the keys for colors same a guitar hero.
This was a really unique game! It was intuitive but more challenging than I expected- how hard can it be to type one letter at a time, right? I found myself wanting to play "one more round" every time I lost. Great job!
Hahaha funny game. It was also pretty good. I like the concept and how it was put into a game. The timing was well programmed. It works very well great job!
@jupiter-hadley Thanks for playing my game! It's the mouse's horizontal position in the game which controls the camera speed (more to the right will make it faster). You are right, the instruction is unclear (a lot of people didn't understand how the mouse worked). I will explain it better in future releases, or maybe change the way the camera works.
Definitely has a unique charm to it. The mechanice was almost perfect, thought it was a little hard for me to time it right. Not sure if more visual feedback is needed or if I just suck. The cheering sound was great, you blended the states together really well.
Pretty fun rythm game! The audio was pretty fun too, and after a few tries, the "c'mon man" really started getting to me XD The idea to incorporate the mouse was interesting, though admittedly I only used it once to set the speed to a fixed value that felt good and then kept it that way. anyway, nice job ^^
@ausstein 91 is a really highscore! My personal record is 56.
Thanks for telling me about the bag system for random generation: I am now using it in the update I am working on. I use it to randomly select the sound effects (the cheers the people make). Before (in this current version) the game could play the same sound twice at the same time, which is ugly. With the bag system, this doesn't happen and the game sounds much nicer. This system could also be used in my other games. Thanks a lot!
@inflamedgums Thank you! On the update I am working on I decided to completely remove the mouse mechanic because it doesn't do much. The camera will automatically adjust itself to follow the wave. Also, this will be a mobile game, so controlling the camera would be weird.

I'm going to start by saying that I suck at rhythm games, sadly x3
However, it didn't stop me from really enjoying it!
The way you made this idea of keeping the wave going into a rhythm game is hands down my favorite thing about this, it's just a very smart idea!
The audio is nice, it feels like there really is a crowd waving, so yeah! :D
The graphics are minimalistic, but they look good!
Overall, this is a pretty fun game !
Congrats!
It was a bit tricky for me to figure out what to do with the mouse button, I kept getting it wrong...
Cool original concept!

Honestly no constructive feedback; it's very solid.
@fizzyapple12 I guess it is a rhythm game!

anyway, nice job ^^
I really enjoyed the sound effects. The Graphics are simplistic but charming.
If there is one thing that I would have changed it would be the rng. I would have used a bag system instead of plain rng. (Check this if you don't know what I mean: https://gamedevelopment.tutsplus.com/tutorials/shuffle-bags-making-random-feel-more-random--gamedev-1249)
