About the game

Free Jazz Party Animals is a  rhythm game where you improvise without the game setting the rhythm or tempo for you. You set the music but you also have to own it - you have to play your compositions immediately after composing them! In this frantic call-and-response free jazz experience you are both the caller and the one who responds.

You get score for repeating your beats correctly and extra points for complexity and originality. This is jazz, after all.

This game was made for the Game Maker's Toolkit Jam 2018 (ranked 96th / 1054 games submitted). The theme was 'genre without (a typical) mechanic'. It has also been submitted for Music Game Jam 2018!

How to play - PLEASE READ THIS!!

Record a jazzy sequence and then repeat it 3 times. Rinse and repeat! Get score for hitting the right sounds at the right time. More complex sequences will get you more score!

So to recap:

1. Get ready
2. Play a hot tune
3. Repeat the tune 3 times, get points or die tryin'
4. Back to step #1
