How does your game fit the theme?
This twist on the rhythm genre gives the player freedom to improvise, but every note is a roll of the dice. Don't let your band down, get boo'd off stage, and sent back to the shed.

concept and art is so cute <3

Love the Guitar Hero take on the theme! Though, as a player, I was a little overwhelmed with all the total number of potential button presses.

Nice concept! I think I need a few less keys to press though. Maybe 4 keys to start would be more manageable and less overwhelming.

Really cool game and nice artwork , I like the idea of using the roll of a dice to play note ! Good stuff 5/5 !!

This is mostly a midi playback machine. Even DJMAX has 8 max buttons :). I do like jazz though.

Nice idea ! I'm not a rythm game player, and my keyboard layout is not QWERTY, so I did terrible, but it seemed possible to play good hearing melodies when you don't need to look at the rythm, the keyboard layout on screen, and at your own keyboard at the same time. ^^

Interesting idea. Being a hobbyist pianist, I felt very lost using the keyboard. Not sure how the theme fit in? (random notes to be played?).
I think some more feedback on good and bad timing would have improved my experience. And as in my own game, I realized, score increase as feedback during the main game segment is a motivating thing that I miss.

Thank you for the feedback!

Pretty challenging gameplay, but interesting idea.

I really like this :)

Now I can safely say that I don't have any hability to create my music  xD
But that was quite an experience, actually. The art is pretty amazing, and the song (when I'm not playing over it) is very relaxing.
Nice job!

I loved this one

As a pianist who's never learned to play jazz, this was the most satisfying experience ever! The chord guides literally let me free-style like a pro jazz pianist and it felt amazing! Thank you for this experience
