Very cool game but I do have a couple of small concerns and suggestions.
The In-Game Instructions:
You can't actually go back to previous panels outside of starting the game and either finishing it or exiting to the main menu
Viewing the in-game instructions seems rather inconsistent after your first run
Only appeared for me a second time after I waited a while on the result screen.
The in-game instructions for the Giant Clock don't make it the clearest that you are watching the minute hand(yes I do know that the hour hand is grayed out, but it can be easy to overlook if you aren't paying attention).
Currently, it says "Press to the beat on the glowing numbers"
Accuracy:
There is no clear indicator(to me at least) of how hit accuracy is judged
Maybe make text appear that says good, ok, bad, or miss whenever the player "hits an object."
70% acc perfect lmao
This is probably just me but I don't think some of the obstacles line up with the song
As in I can't tell what beat some obstacles are supposed to go with
Most of them line up pretty well though
The Giant Clock:
As some others have stated, there is a lack of clarity on which number you are supposed to click on before the minute hand moves over the number
Maybe make the numbers start glowing when the minute hand gets near them.
Surfing in the Future:
Maybe it's just me being bad but I feel like the obstacles appear much faster than in previous Surf stages, making it much harder.
Someone else already pointed this out but it's very easy to chain miss on this section due to the length of the miss animation and the proximity of the obstacles.
There appear to be "phantom misses" in this section.
The miss animation played on the last obstacle in both "4-note bursts" and I still got a perfect(see image above for score, would try to record phantom misses but I have a toaster)
Amazing game Ame! I really feel the love and effort the devs and you put in this game. I felt really emotional when I am on the bus scene. Thank you Ame!
I'm on my desktop computer with an RTX 2060 in it. I tried the game in Microsoft Edge and it ran much better. I have several add-ons installed in Firefox, so I don't know if any of those may be interfering.
I even tried disabling all my add-ons and forcing on hardware accelerated rendering, but no change. Apparently Firefox and p5.js have a history of not working well together. Still, I really like the game, so I don't mind using Edge to play it. Really great job from all developers/artists involved!
I'm really excited to FC this game. Everyone did such a good job on the game. Thank you Ame for making this concept and then hiring such talented people and making this a reality. I love this game so much!!! GOTY 2023 pausechamp???
NICE PASSHION that went into this game. For me, the jumping/air surfing segments to the level felt the most satisfying. I think this was because the incoming obstacles would provide a 'hint' as to the rhythm that was meant to be played/followed, so it felt satisfying when I could hear it in tandem with the music. Like double tapping BRRAP BRRAP felt GOOD. The one that felt the most jarring was the dog tail swiping one because there was no corresponding 'timing hint' like the other segments. AMAZING SONG IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF MA DEER WATSON
Holy mother of god. The art in this game is insane! This was a really cool experience.
To achieve this, the team must have worked so hard. The game is not jittery in any sense whatsoever, and it ran really smoothly, so props to the people who programmed this game, you did a really good job making the animations fit in with the gameplay! Also a shoutout to the artists.
This game has inspired me to put more effort into crafting better sprites for my own games. Thank you for making this:)
The only complaint I have about the game is the inconsistency of the cues. The bubba minigame primarily has an audio cue but all the other minigames use visual cues. This game is clearly inspired by rhythm heaven but a key part of that game was that all the minigames had clear audio cues so the player wouldn't have to rely on the visuals. While I don't think visual cues are bad, I hope that the game could be consistent with what kind of cue it uses.
Amazing job on the Music and Singing and Pixel Art/Animations and The Game! I love the Photoshoot segment, and seeing Bubba's tail turns into a Bat to hit the ball back, though I let him get hit a lot... Oops. And the Menu has her pointing at the hovered button! Cute!!
Feedback:
- Looking forward to Volume Options, and Fullscreen if possible. (For now I just use Volume Master addon, and F11 in Chrome)
- On the Bubba Baseball minigame, Ame's left Cheek in the Seat has a 1-pixel glitch on her Catching each Ball
- Hiding the Cursor mid-game would be nice, but even NieR: Automata on PC didn't get this forever, so it's forgivable...
- On the various Lava Jumping/ Hoverboard Dodging segments, I have a hard time knowing where the hitbox is, between the various custom "Movement" animations. On the second playthrough, the Running was a bit easier by watching the feet, but I still struggle with the hitbox of the Timepiece Hoverboard, I guess it is just much Wider.
- On the Future Hoverboard segment, it seems that the Obstacles are so near to eachother that a Mistake Animation is Unrecoverable, and makes you miss the Next Obstacle too. (Unless I'm simply mis-judging my position because of the Fail Animation)
- The Analog Clock's Golden Numbers do not light up until the Clock Hand is over the Number, so this minigame stands out as the only non-predictable one, which is sort of stressful. Although The Menu does show all Numbers dimmed, so probably not a bug like I thought.
This game was absolutely pleasant. Everyone did an ame-zing job! I really want to see what comes next! As it happens, I set myself the challenge of making a game every month for this year and this release has given me an extra dose of motivation to see through the first game til the end. So thank you!

My reaction to the game

Amazing game Ame! I really feel the love and effort the devs and you put in this game. I felt really emotional when I am on the bus scene. Thank you Ame!

Deng nice game, i'm absolutely love it 999/10
Playing on phone 🥳
Really great work from everyone! Big fan of all things Rhythm Heaven, browser games, and Hololive, so I had a great time with this.
Very cute! enjoyed the warioware style of gameplay.
Really cool game. Noticed some stuttering while playing, especially during the final animation that
takes you back to the main menu.
Using Firefox v. 109.0 (64bit)
what device are you using, this game takes a little bit of gpu power so in mobile may get some sttuter, I just tried on all my devices
I'm on my desktop computer with an RTX 2060 in it. I tried the game in Microsoft Edge and it ran much better. I have several add-ons installed in Firefox, so I don't know if any of those may be interfering.
Blame Firefox- I tried both Firefox and Chromium during development and Chromium didn’t stutter a bit.
I even tried disabling all my add-ons and forcing on hardware accelerated rendering, but no change. Apparently Firefox and p5.js have a history of not working well together. Still, I really like the game, so I don't mind using Edge to play it. Really great job from all developers/artists involved!
100/10

Bubba's Baseball Bat Tail is there, but the animation is a bit short-lived, I relied on the Audio a lot like you did
It's harder than I thought. I'm gonna try and FC it!! Cool game and I love the song too :D

You all did such a great job on this! If at all possible, it would be awesome if we could download and play this offline as well in the future.
cute little game to commemorate her first single
