Made in 72 hours for MelonJam 5 using GB Studio!

"Rhythm River (unofficial title )" is a short rhythm game where you go tubing down a river. Dodge obstacles and collect orbs to the melody of the music. This is my entry for MelonJam 5 and actually my first ever game jam entry. It's super short, but eventually I want to build this into a full fledged game. 

Feel welcome to leave comments to let me know what you think of this short little Gameboy game!

This is a fun game! I really like some of the details, like how you flip around when you get into a whirlpool and how the colors change whenever you collect an orb.

Had a lot of fun playing this one, super creative way to use the shmup scrolling. 

really fun!! controls were a little bit sensitive but it was really good otherwise!! cant wait to see what you do with this :3

Thank you! I really appreciate it! 🙏 I’ll most likely fix up the controls at some point and continue to work on this one. I have a lot of ideas for how I can build onto this. 

this is really good! im really impressed by the graphics. I actually made a game with a similar theme so it was fun to see how we went different ways in the rhythm game genre.

Thank you! Art is actually one of my weaknesses I feel, so I appreciate the compliment on the graphics. My pixel art is a bit basic, but it was fun trying to do everything myself.  I'll check out your game too!
