Hello!
Rob here, one of the creators of Super Crazy Rhythm Castle.
It's been amazing to see reactions and feedback from everyone after playing our demo during Steam Next Fest. Thank you all for giving our game a shot. We've also been able to watch a bunch of streamers really enjoying the game too, which is very useful for us to know how people play and what they liked.
Based on what we've seen, I wanted to share a few things with everyone:
1. We recommend controller!
We included keyboard support in Super Crazy Rhythm Castle for those who don't have access to a game pad, but this means that when you fire the game up without trying a pad, it'll flow along showing keyboard icons and some people assume that's the main way to play. (Our bad!)
We strongly believe that game pad is the way to play! Some have questioned our choice of button layout, but please give it a good go before dismissing it. Yes you can rebind it on PC, and yes you can use keyboard, but please try it first, I promise it works really well.
2. Jingle is the favourite!
B. Box will always be my dude, but Jingle the magpie has been overwhelmingly the favourite character to play as. Everyone loves our little birb and the cute way they hold a controller in their beak!
3. You can bark!
Not many people noticed, because the game doesn't explain it, but you can click the right stick to make a bark sound, which is different for every character! Especially useful in multiplayer, or to flex when you're nailing the rhythm.
4. Speaking of barking...
Hand Dog really divided the world, with some finding him cute, and others recoiling in disgust as he contorts his fingers between running and playing music. Some even said he's creepy! Poor little guy... he ain't nothin' but a Hand Dog!
5. Keep playing!
We're going to leave the demo live for a while longer, so more people can get a taste of Super Crazy Rhythm Castle. Tell your friends, and stay tuned for more as we approach release on 14th November!
