I really enjoy the art style for this game. A friction I had was that the rhythm part of the game was a bit hard, and my fingers had a hard time getting each key because of how cramped it was. I think something you could do to improve the page is to add a bit more backstory/story into the description.
I like the backstory that I think I understand and it makes playing the game, even at it's beginning stages, fun as I anticipate what you will get built. There are tons of good decisions to make. A point of friction is that my hands might be big, but the keys are close together and I keep hitting multiple keys at the same time. Sometimes though it auto completes everything. Mashing works. I agree, adding the Game Name to the banner instead of leaving Band Name up there would clarify the name.
I dig the art and story, this game has a ton of personality. Cute characters!
One point of friction is during the rhythm game, I dunno maybe this is just me being so used to Guitar Hero, I expect the four frets to be arranged on the bottom of the screen horizontally, so that the four frets correspond to V B N M in my mind. I'd like the frets to light up when I press V/B/N/M. Also I'd like the falling notes to fall a bit slower, I was never very good at these rhythm games!
Honestly this is a good itch.io page, you've checked a lot of the boxes - but can you clarify, what's the name of the game? And what's the name of your game studio? Is the game called Sardine Studio? The game title should be in the top banner.
The storyline, art, and music are great. However, the game feels a bit simple since it only has one level. On the itch.io page, adding more story description could help attract players.
A strength of this game is the art and music. A friction I encountered would be that the beeping of the text typing out is really loud. Something you could add to your Itch page would be telling the backstory of each bandmate or even the player in-game, and having a condensed version in the description.
This game is excellent; I think it's almost perfect. The art style and backgrounds are beautiful. I think adding more storylines and levels would enrich the game further. Overall, I think it's a great game.
Thank you for playing our game! We at Sardine Studio worked really hard for the past few months to finally publish the first build of our game. Your reviews and suggestions will help improve the game in the future!
A strenght is how well this game is made and how smooth the animation is and how there is different mode like fighting and music.One friction is the enemy there is no character or design to it.For the itch i would probably add a little more story.
A strength in this game is there is a unique story line, drawings all visually appealing, and the music adds depth to the game. A friction i have for the game is for the fighting part the punching and damage part aren't in sync. A thing that could improve the page is a backstory.
I really like this game. The character art to so good and I like that this game is like a two in one, fighter and rhythm game. Something that you could fix is the stopping when you move. You kind of slide a little bit after you stop. You could add a little bit more story in the description on the itch page, even though there's story in game. Just a little bit more would do.
One strength i have is the animation and the way the game leads you through every section. One friction i have is the enemy because it has no animation or the controls for the music game cause i think the controls are to close together. One thing you can improve your itch page on is just adding a little more description of the character or of the game itself, maybe something like their name and what they're ultimate goal is
This is one of the best game I have ever seen. The art is amazing, the animation is peak, I love the mechanics of the game, I love how you can have a fighting, movement, and jump animation, mini-games, and the dialogue. The background as well is beautiful. However there are few things to adjust (My opinion):
Bugs:
When you spam click all keys, it doesn't miss it always count as a hit.
The friction between the floor, and the player is like I am sliding on ice, even tho it's rock solid street, wooden floor, or grass..
At the beginning I can go to the left, infinitely, and just keep walking offscreen.
Suggestion:
Add a Footstep SFX.
Breathing animation (I don't want you to suffer but I am sorry)
Add a mistake UI for the rhythm.
Web Design:
(Unsure): Add a context on the description you know one of those description behind the book before you buy it.
I like the animation and how much detail there is. One point of friction is the enemy doesn't fight back so its really easy to win. I would improve the itch page by adding more of a background story on why they need the money.
The game was very well done already. I like how you can play multiples game inside of a game. A little friction I encounter will be there were no animation for the enemy. One improvement on the itch page could be added a background story.
I like the model for the player same as the game play, where you go fight enemy after walk in the door, but i seen no model for the enemy. I think you could improve your itch page by adding more description of the game.
This game is very good a strength is how it stared with the storyline and how they said what objective was. A point of friction is to add more fight more levels. one way you can improve you'r itch page is to make the cover about fighting.
The game is excellent i've seen so far the game leads you perfectly you wanted to go without complaining what to do or where to go. One thing I have in mind where the rhythm game keybinds should be "D,F,J,K" cause "V,B,N,M" is too close to your fingers and sometimes your fingers jams next to each other OR...adding a keybinds setting where you can change on how you would like. Plus the rhythm game should be more friendly cause new player sometimes never played a rhythm games before so, you should add like a heads up. One thing I would like to see improvements for the page is adding a lore so you feel connections about why we are fighting the enemies. Overall good progress.
This is my favorite game so far. I like how there is multiple games within the one game. I would revise the rhythm game so you lose points if you click the wrong key. Otherwise the user playing could just spam all the keys and get a perfect score. I would also change the cover art to make it look like the game. Right now it looks like it would be a game about sea food.
A strength in this game so far is the storyline and dialogue. The movement and the ability to move to different maps is also some upsides. Things to work on is that you can't fight the enemy and you can't play the music or press on it. I would make it so you can fight and play music to improve this game.
The game I feel it is cool and the animation is good also the draw is very good.But the speed just when you want to stop you will move some distance the attack also when you want to attack some time no the harm.
The animation is good, a friction is that there's nothing really to do after the music notes and fighting, and a way to improve your itch page is to add more storyline into the bio of the account
Some students are unable to comment through their Itch accounts so they did so through my account. I asked them to identify the feedback as student feedback so you knew it came from a student and not from me, even though it's my account.
This game so far gave me a really a high tier of a game that can be create by students. It could add more levels for fighting and playing, also could try to create more new music like what is in the game. The web page looks nothing is needed to add or you think about adding a trailer for the game.
This game is pretty fun but I think it would be really cool with more context to the depth in the story about why they need the money.
I think it would be cool to add a "minimum score to pass" system when finishing the rhythm game or just an HP bar since you can mess up the entire song without repercussions.
Student hongliang: Very good game to play, the character and story line so perfect and have different mode like fighting and music game, even the sound music good too.
the music part pretty good i would like if it were up to down rather than side to side or at least make the keys to press the buttons side to side. very complete aninmations and sprites. would be better ifthe itch page has more info about the game
Student feedback:The art and animation looks good and i like the rhythm game.in the fighting game mode you do a lot of damage and you could keep spamming the fighting moves. Add more detail like what are they doing to get the money.
the hook is amazing andthe art and game design is amazing. however the attacking and music can lead to alot of spamming, as there is no cooldown. maybe a cooldown and penalty for button mashing?
The art for this game is very good, and i like how there is a story to the game. I really want to see what the game is like after the game is finished because it looks cool and has interesting story. I would add a setting to be able to change your keybinds
i like this game a lot and i love how you can fight with music and learn new combos but i wish their was more levels to this game and more ways fight new enemies.
I really liked the art and the dialog but some problems were the backgrounds don't blend and there was no friction on the ground. Also for the rhythm, you can just spam all the keys because there is no punishment for getting it wrong.
Student Feedback: This game has a great rhythm and fighting system and I like the storyline. A few basic things I would recommend to implement and/or change is: the player slides when walking, and an option for horizontal notes, not just vertical notes (for player preference). Other than that, the game seems to be doing great and going in the right direction!
the art and animations are really good. The button configuration is a bit awkward though. the rhythm game buttons are too close together and the fighting button is awkward to use. It would be useful if you put the buttons for the rhythm game buttons on screen in case the player doesn't check the description.
I enjoy viewing the art and animation. The mechanic and the storyline is well-done. When I attack the enemy, I think it's too easy to kill them because the health decreases rapidly and they don't really fight back. I would also enjoy a longer storyline for the Itch page

I like the character design and the music mode, but I would really enjoy it more if the game was a bit longer. It’s fun, but it’s kind of short.

Since the header image is a nod to the Weezer album, I'll be expecting an easter egg related to it.

- I think you misspelt "perfect" as prefect in the beat minigame
- Could add gameplay images of the minigames
