Songbird
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Songbird is a top down bullet hell-like action game developed for GMTK Jam 2020.
Play as a magic bird with anger issues who must cast her spells using her saxophone. Each spell requires a melody to be played to activate. Be careful about taking too much damage though as otherwise you'll lose control and damage your saxophone!
Controls:
Move: WASD
Play Saxophone: Numpad keys 1 - 6
Change sheet music: Click on the name of the spell you would like to see the music for
All assets (minus the post processing effects :P) created during the jam

KNOWN ISSUES (will be corrected post GMTK jam):
Getting to the level load does not disable player movement so if you cannot press enter to load into the next level, go back into the level exit door then press enter!
The broken notes do not appear in Endless mode

Wasn't for another game jam? Or maybe something very similar?
If you took the ocarina from The Legend of Zelda OoT/MM and made it the main focus... I Love it! I like how the rage mechanic temporarily disables one of your notes, forcing you to use the other spells; however, I find that it keeps interrupting me while I'm at the end of the level, trying to learn the key song. I hope you someday look further into the concepts you presented in Songbird, and compose (ha) something even more in-depth and brilliant out of it!
Had the same experience whenever I'd finish a level. Still enjoyed the game though!
