In the long span of 100 years, living in the 12th century, a turtle witnesses the contemporary knights braving thorns and obstacles. Playing the role of a turtle, we must guide the knights to a safe path, avoiding monster attacks, and ensure a peaceful journey throughout these 100 years.
\nUnlike RPGs, this is a rhythm game. Your path is determined by the score you achieve.
\nPress the crosshair in sync with the musical notes’ beats to earn corresponding scores.
\nThe musical notes have left and right distinctions.
\nKey in:
\nI’ve always wanted to make a rhythm based game! This is beautiful and well done. I’d recommend - a consistent drum beat or high-hat metronome would be helpful to keep the rhythm and allow the “hit area” for hitting the correct key to be a little smaller.
\nReally fun. It made me want to play a few times. Well done.

\nBecause the score was so integral to the path it would have been really nice to have it much closer to the crosshair/rhythm path so I didn’t have to take my eyes off it to know how I was doing.
\nIt also felt like there wasn’t a whole lot of sync between the music and hitting the notes, but visually it was pretty clear.

\nGood effort at a difficult genre!

\nIt feels like a really good idea at the start, rhythm games are really one of my favourites. The design and the music gives a good atmosphere.\nHowever, the tutorial lasts only 2 seconds and you really don’t have time to read what to do.\nSo I restarted a few times to try and understand what to do but half of the time, the game hangs at the beginning and the gameplay does not start.
\nA bit disappointing as it’s a great idea, you should probably have had it tested by some friends to get their feedback!

There really wasn’t a good beat to follow and noted seemed almost randomly placed and to have nothing to do with the music. It was really awkward to judge the arrows too, especially the “special all the directions marked or whatever” ones.
\nBut on the other hand it was boringly easy. Just two different buttons on a slowish pace isn’t really demanding when the “nice” window is so huge that you can basically play it to any song really.
\nNice pixel art. The font made it kinda tough to judge the numbers at some points. And the route score stopped working for me at some point too and after going few more levels blind and it not picking up again, I decided to quit.
\nAfter couple of levels, you stop seeing all the route options which isn’t fun. And I’m pretty sure quite a few from the last ones are even completely impossible to achieve. And it’s not really great design when the best strategy is to quickly scan the routes for first heart and just go for that score and then watch the paint dry for a minute not doing anything.
