First one!!
And first of all I'd like to say it's a thumbs up even though it was close, which means some important things should be improved, in my opinion.
But first things first, visually everything looks good and sweet, the idea of introducing music theory in a playful way is a good one.
Of course, it should be mentioned again that the game is free, which is a very positive factor in the rating/feedback here. Nevertheless, I have to ask myself who would actually spend a fiver on the soundtrack as a DLC and actually sit down at home and listen to it. If someone wants to support the developers with it, okay cool, then do it that way, but why not offer a supporter pack as DLC, with the soundtrack, pictures and videos on music theory and examples of tones/sounds, ear training or things like that ;) That would be so cool!
I tried out the game yesterday at a workshop with young people and now pay attention dear children ; )
At the beginning everyone was very excited and you could hear them saying how cool is that and stuff.
Unfortunately and I was almost expecting this, it went by pretty quickly.
After a relatively short time, everyone was a bit annoyed but above all bored. And that brings me to my feedback and main criticism, if you make a mistake then you “die” and have to start the level all over again, not a good idea! Honestly, the kids kept saying: “I've died again, ...ah it's no fun anymore”
When you learn an instrument, you have to practise and make a lot of mistakes at the beginning, the more it's like lessons, the less fun it is. And if a student had to leave the room every time they made a mistake, it would be over even quicker than it already is for some people when they take lessons. There are so many other options instead of throwing the character out of the level every time they make a mistake, and then there's also a time limit, which unfortunately doesn't make the game fun in this case, it's rather annoying.
A certain and typical point system would have been much better, the less mistakes are made the more points plus maybe small rewards you get, and important without “dying” without time limit, and if something with time then only running upwards. I could list a few more suggestions for improvement but I would rather like to leave it at that,
there are always things that can be done differently but sometimes there is just a lack of inventiveness or time and resources there and then it is what is.
