Pretty nice!! ☺️ I really enjoy mixed media art, and this game looks amazing honestly. The rhythm game could honestly use some variation, because pressing the spacebar only gets pretty repetitive. But maybe that's the point? 🤔 Good job!! 😄😄

My artist made a whole asset for screws screwing in for press and hold input, but we ran out of time! As I am sure is the case for most of the games here, the final product falls short of our initial aims.

This was really cool! The art is incredible and as someone who drummed in many bands when I was younger I love a good rhythm game. One day attaching different musical elements/inputs to different layers of nails, or maybe a different piece of hardware somehow might be really neat and add a little more complexity.

I definitely took some time enjoying the gorgeous art, I always have been more of a 3D enjoyer but recently I have started to respect how much artists put into their work so a job well done in that aspect. I huge W for how cute the fox is as well.

As for the gameplay, I enjoyed hitting the nails much more than expected as I retried each stage more than twice albeit I did turn off my music not because of the quality just something personal where I avoid listening to them and I found it enjoyable. I also went into the rabbit hole on how the "hitting the nail mechanic" actually worked so I think the main mechanic heavily caught my interest and I assume that is the point (of course I do not mean to tell us how it works as that is the dev's card and I was just mentioning my view lol).

I however seemed to return to the world after finishing all hits and nothing was happening so am I doing something wrong, I would love to know if that is what was intended for this beautifully put demo.

 For enhancements, especially as the team continues evolving, maybe having an easy/hard mode could work especially tightening the timing where I could hit the nail, maybe in easy more nails that account for more hits could be there as a forgiving factor as well. Maybe the map could get expanded for more parts that repair the ship and thus moving to different level/map/planet and such. You could also include fights against bosses that have the most important part where hard rhythms effect the bosses's health.  

Something I have been exploring, that is the parallax effect could also make the 2D map much more stunning.

Overall, I enjoyed the experience. I huge thanks to the team and looking forward to the enhancments.

The graphics are good, but the gameplay feels a bit off. The pacing seems out of sync, and there's a lack of better feedback. Still, I can tell the creator put a lot of effort into it!

Cool art!

Super cool to play as someone who also created a "press Space on the beat" game haha! Great art, love the style of music, and fun to play along too. Nice job!

The artwork is absolutely darling! Was pleasantly surprised that I was able to play a rhythm game for this jam. I think there's parts of it where there could be more of a visual impact if you get the nails correctly on beat. Perhaps like a visual whoosh visual effect, so that there's just something more satisfying telling the player that they did it correctly.

Great music and it was satisfying hitting the nails!

Oh, rhytmic game about smashing the nails with hammer, shoul be nice... But wait, there is a fox and it's  totally out of place... But wait it's theme actually. Then it's nice as well.

Buggy, but still interesting :)

The gameplay was as unpredictable as the style (and that's a good thing!). I never saw the rhythm mini-game coming, after being greeted by that opening scene. A very enjoyable little playthrough, thanks for making this.

Gameplay reminds me of rhythm game, Melatonin (not the drug). It's pretty good, but I feel like more could've been done.

Very cute art! Nice try. There's some problem of the coverage when you finish a song.
