Puppe Party

Cute puzzle game! I included it in my GM48: Colors are Important compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/pzo4of_gRdw

Really cute aesthetic, interesting puzzles, great audio. I felt the feedback when getting something wrong was non-existant. My puppe's kept going on the wrong direction and I couldn't tell if it was because I was off-beat or because that's what they are supposed to do. I like the constant momentum and not being able to stop. I would definitely add a sound effect or something visual to indicate a poorly timed direction. Great game!

I really enjoyed the music- it works well to justify the movement as makes it a lot more fun. The art is quite good- my only complaint is that if you fail quite far into a level, it becomes quite a chore to re-eat all the grass and different flowers. It makes the players who have figured it out some unchallanging gameplay to go through while giving people who die often (me) no clear time to think and making it feel more like trail and error. Maybe making there be less grass, or a way to stop moving would help this alot. Great submission!

Alright, so. I honestly spent 9/10 of the first level thinking I couldn't play and that it was an example for the tutorial. Why?

First, you need the mouse to click at text. You use the arrows, I'm obviously using my right hand for that, meaning I need to move between the mouse and keyboard. While I move my hand, the rabbit moves on its own. I didn't know he'd move on each beat. Add the that the timing, and I had 0 impact on what the rabbit was moving.

That's until I left my finger on an arrow... So my question is: what's the point of the rhythm thing is we can just ignore it? The only impact it has is that you have to move on each beat, or the character will move on its own. But you can just walk into a wall if you need to think.

To that I'd add some confusion when there's multiple rabbits, sometimes it looks like one of them is ignoring my inputs and does whatever.

It's also a little frustrating to restart levels because of tiny mistakes, because most of the gameplay is "loosing time" to eat everything and multiple flowers & stuff while nothing much is happening.

Like, level13 I think, you spend quite some time getting 10 black AND yellow flowers, then you have to cross some water, but if you misstep and you initial white rabbit dies, you have to start again, doing something you've done dozens of time already.

It's a shame because there are some interesting situations, and the production value is pretty good overall, but I'd really have liked a higher attention to levels & basic mechanics instead of many levels.
