A very nice Game and fun to play,  a really cool mechanic and a very interesting way to implement the theme.

One of the best games I've played so far in this jam, all the art and mechanic it's awesome!

I liked very much the game, it's really fun to play and a  great mechanic.

One of the best games I've tried so far for this jam. Love the idea of having to bounce again once you fall, instead of just restarting the level. A great atmosphere with lovely art and awesome level design!

Great idea, the mechanic of working with shadows and light it's very inovative. I liked how you can change the light directions  and how it afects the world.

Loved the idea of trying to decipher the notes! Interesting entry

Great atmosphere and level design! Great submission :)

Fun game to play, at the beging I was a little confused , but definitely matches the theme, and its a very nice game to play and very challenging to.

One of the best games I've tried so far, the atmosphere is awesome and the level progression helps even more emerging the player.  Overall very polished and juicy game :)

Great atmosphere created by a well-chosen colour palette alongside simple yet effective gameplay. Good work and keep up 

Great interpretation. I would like to see more "danceable" songs. Besides that, great entry and congrats on finishing your first game, keep up!!

The environment looks great and lively. I also enjoyed the lighting a lot, it gives the impression that there's always a rim light hitting the character's body.

Great atmosphere! 

Great atmosphere!
