Good game, the triple jump prevention is a bit annoying when it cancels your jump action. With a double jump and a dash, you are in the air before your next jump comes around so you don't get a nice loop. You only get to do one jump on the next cycle.
Ehyyy! Thank you so much for playing, this is a known annoying thing in the game, and what makes it even more annoying is that some devices work perfectly fine, while others cancel out the jumps just like you described :')) will try to fix it when I'll start working on this game again ;)
Thank you for helping! Sadly the audio syncing hardly works properly on every browser, so the best option for the future is probably to just have a downloadable version and not web only
Yup, that's something really annoying, but i've just updated it and now the checkpoints should work just fine, if they don't, let me know, and i'll fix it asap!
In a game about rhythm, the most important thing to get down is good sound design. VoodLoop definitely succeeds in this area. All the sounds are distinct and help the player in some way to understand when in the music their action will activate. In a lot of cases, the actions can even add to the music, and however unintentional this may have been, I found that the music would occasionally fit the abilities that I was holding with rests in the music where ability sounds could be heard and have more emphasis.
Something that I wasn't expecting though was the attention to player agency. In a game where the player's actions are fairly down to the timing of the music, there were still mechanics, such as the option to hold onto an ability and bring it with you until you wanted to use it with your cursor, that made me feel as though I wasn't just throwing myself at problems without having some sort of option in how to approach them. There were only a couple movement-based issues I could find in my playthrough, but overall, this is a very solid and enjoyable experience!
Thank you so much for this long report ahahah, this makes me reeally happy! :D Happy you liked the gameplay and the music, even tho i did not understand what you meant with
"and however unintentional this may have been, I found that the music would occasionally fit the abilities that I was holding with rests in the music where ability sounds could be heard and have more emphasis."
Sorry english is not my main language, could you explain this in a different way :') ?
Oh my bad! I meant that the way the music was composed, there were gaps in the sound, and when you put an ability (jump, dash, or punch) into a slot that would activate the ability on the same beat as the gap, it would make the sound of the ability louder and made me feel good when I heard it. Basically, the music in combination with the gameplay was just very well done. Hopefully that makes a bit more sense haha :)
exactly what happened is i open the game, it works normally but when i enter level select my mouse starts moving uncontrollably(not just the in game mouse) and i cant click the game most of the time. i only got into a level once and it was level 4. its really difficult to close the tab
EDIT:i forgot to mention this i am on an old lenovo laptop.cant find build. os is manjaro linux
thanks a lot for explaining, really <3 This is still very strange tho ahahah, i hope that maybe a downloadable version could fix this bug! Next thing i'll do for sure, not sure tho when :P

Having some kind of bug where dying at a checkpoint breaks the synchronization between rhythm and action.
Reeeally strange, this doesn't happen to me, what browser are you playing in?
Firefox! I should restart and retry, I'll let you know how it goes when I do.

has a nasty bug where checkpoints work across levels
Yup, that's something really annoying, but i've just updated it and now the checkpoints should work just fine, if they don't, let me know, and i'll fix it asap!

Great game, but for some reason, when I died on a level, I respawned in the previous level.
Thank you so muchh! Yeah that's a known bug that i have fixed but not uploaded yet on itch :')

Yup! Will do this too :))

That's reeeally strange, from what device/browser are you playing?
