I apologize for commenting again, I don't know how to answer directly to your coment... it's not cryptic, it's completely lost in translation, if there even was a clue to start with. I mean, the English there makes no grammatical sense. Everything else, except for some minor bugs, is really cool. Keep it up!
I really like this game - the idea, the music, the pixel art. But could you please please please talk to an actual translator to translate the texts? Right now the candles part is impossible to figure out, since the English there is so broken D:
The idea of that puzzle was for it to be cryptic, as it came from an acient book. Some of the original riddle got lost due to not fitting on the book, but we are looking forward to do it easier for people to understand the idea behind it. Just a hint, the belated friend is number 8 ;)
I'm sorry, but I didn't like this game. It's not that I didn't enjoy it because of the story, just that how it was put didn't make sense for me. Why doesn't it care about that you like a girl just for her looks and popularity, and then whine that she doesn't like you because of your lack of those things? Other messages (told in the description) failed to show for me, and I just felt like it was too forced. I just saw a whiny boy doing a tantrum over a girl he thinks he deserves. I acknowledge the other meanings wanting to pop up over that but for me it didn't work... And with the name I thought of something very different (this isn't an ode to pixel days)...
I'm sorry for the harsh critique, and I know I'm gonna get downvotes, but I just wanted to state my opinion in a respectful way. Nevertheless, the music is awesome, the game itself is well polished, and the puzzles are on a good path - wish they were harder. I think the idea behind it all and the narration have to get more work.
It looks nice, it's a nice game to explore and to relax a little. But it's WAY too slow! I think it'd be more fun it it was faster. Don't take me wrong - I liked it, and I know this wasn't made as a fast-pace game. But it gest frustrating after just some levels. It also would be nice if the tool tips were given out when hovering the mouse, or when you are performing the task they are meant to help you on.
Cool game! The story made me laugh! The drawings and overall feeling are great!
As a lot of this kind of games bore me, I thought this would be one... well, it isn't! The pirates, their funny names, the silly treasures, the little cutscenes with little but funny text (and the SPOILERSPOILER swimsuit calendar! Ahahahaha!)... it kept me playing until the end :D I would've liked to see more levels in total darkness, that was fun and diferent.
I enjoyed this so much! A great combination of point and click, puzzle game, hear and repeat, music game, and also a bit of history of music. It has some bugs, as others have already pointed, but it's creative and really fun. I really liked how the historical musician facts were introduced. I'm a musician, so I played this smiling all the time :D And I loved to hear the arrangements for the songs...
Just a little thing: I would've liked if the "creative" mode was, in fact, creative, where the player could mix different parts/instruments of the songs, add or delete instruments, or create new things. Sure, this would mean a whole different game, I think n__n
All in all, great game!!
As others have said, the game is a little lagged. I got some of my answers by seeing the song name in the video, so, hiding it doesn't work. And it's a little bit odd to play too.
(take this comment to improve, I'm not trying to be mean or anything)
You have a lot to fix (it's a beta, so it's understandable), but, if you do, it will be a nice game to play :)
