I like how Melodii goes from panicking about the fact a rival battle is happening to completely screwing with the duo by adding their own lyrics within like 2 bars
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Chain break
Oh my GOODNESS the amount of love poured into these scenes from the battles, the story, the characters, the animation. Lovely slice f life vibe to it it’s awesome
The angle in which you see the overworld and it’s very low detail don’t sit right with me, looks worse than a Wii game. Everything else looks fantastic.
edit: Is my opinion is too harsh? Think a 2D overworld would’ve looked far nicer.
@@protocetid its a demo also its far from being complete
also criticisms are valid like always, helps make a game even better
@@protocetid I mean
This is based on Parappa
So I think something like that adds to a PS1-like style
@@unionjack0638 There's a discrepancy between the PS1ish models and the Wiish polycount of the maps. The low poly models are ok in Nami.wav since it’s clearly got a vaporwave motif. As for the rest of the game, it’s like the creator couldn't decide what era of gaming to pay homage to. The part where they pull the sheet pan out of the oven looks bad, the 2D pastries would be a resource saving measure in an PS1/N64 game while the rest of the setting is several generations ahead.
Feels like a groovy mix between Parappa the Rapper and WarioWare.
That dancing butter looked like something you'd see in a WarioWare game.
@@spindriftizded2033 no
@@spindriftizded2033it doesn’t fnf has beeps these have automated voices that’s the most thing they have in common
Man the butter eated to many cookies and is now stronger
wario better be in this game
@@type_4410 not to mention the art style looks similar
I honestly really love this game and the similarities to parrapa, the artstyle is pretty charming too while the vocals could use some work but are good nontheless
edit: I didn't want to say fnf, but some people were referring to it being similar somehow??? in my opinion i see nothing in this like fnf.
More like if Parappa and FNF had a kid
@@orangesherbet7030 art doesnt mean fnf buddy
@@Pytatoon idk if be talking about that
@@Pytatoon i know
@@orangesherbet7030 buf fnf is already a parappa kid with ddr 🤣
Oh my god a parappa inspired game with incredible animation, style, vocaloids and good music? Fuck yeah, this is sick.
I think it would be something more like utaloids or fanloids
@@ann.idkkkk the dev confirmed that they used default vocal synths available in vocaloid 5! jamtime's voice is cyber diva!
@@sheedokdeedok Oh okay!, Thanks for the information!
I really like this game except for the vocaloids, it completely ruins it imo :(
@@KenseiBae whaat how could vocaloids ruin a game?
THE BUTTER DANCING CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD LOL
Edit: That part made me stop watching the video and get the game
same
The butter became buff and started dancing
You could say that their movements were buttery smooth
Lmaoo
The dancing butter was the best part of the whole demo xD
Melodii: "That's how my mom and dad fell in love, well... at least until I was born"
I never though a cute game about paying community service would be dark.
I wouldn't say dark more so just more close to reality
Not dark, just realistic
that line kinda hits lmao
I don't understand what does that mean?
@@whitetomato 🗿
My gut tells me that Jamtine will be a quite popular character but I personally really like the chill version of Ronald
same!!!
HIS NAME IS MR.MCWAVE
@@catherineswebbutgay to be complete his name is Synthz McWave
she already is popular💀💀💀
I like the chill version of the Ronal- HIS NAME IS MR.MCWAVE
I really REALLY tried to show this game off to my stream but it's been like 15 years since I've played Parappa and that first song's difficulty is crazy to start off on.
I love the style this game oozes and hope it finds its target audience, it's awesome.
If you ask me, 8bit ryan will play it, he seems to enjoy this kinda games, so the popularity will start to skyrocket afterward. Or so i hope, because this game deserves it
Just do close enough and spam good and you get loads a points
@@michelecastellotti9172 kubscoutz played it
@@pinkestelle558 yub and hijuu mike did as well, which is good for this game, but hope development will proceed
@@michelecastellotti9172 you were right about Ryan playing it lol
I love how ghost tapping isn’t only allowed but encouraged, creates good habits. Overall a great game, I can see it appealing to beginners but maybe having not required songs that are around project diva speeds
What’s Ghost tapping? Is it the thing where it encourages the player to add more notes?
@@PinkyR Ghost Tapping is a Technique used for counting in many rhythm games in order to help with accuracy. You often see people adding their own extra notes simular to a metronome. This is done to help with timing for better accuracy on notes, especially during slow sections.
Something like Infinite Strife BYD on Arcaea where during the special note section people will tap in order to get it to be pure.
In this case they encourage adding more notes to the songs in order to score higher, which can build a good foundation for harder rhythm games.
Yeah as the disembodied head and floating ballet dancer said to support the bar your support the bar. Honestly the DJ headlock should be the main character not Melodii
Best rhythm game ever! Nami is easily my favorite of the new songs, though Jamtine is cool too
Peak rhythm game!!!! And yeah Nami is so freaking cool :D true and real bestie!
🐬🐳🌊☮️
✌️ 🐬 and ⬆️
me tooo!! I love namis part
The chad butter caught me off-guard
Man the npc dialogue is fantastic, “we’ve been standing here for 40 minutes.”
I love the Vibes of this game, like a mix of Parappa & Early 2000's Sonic Art
(Also the Animation Bangs)
The songs bangs. I have listened to the tutorial one a lot of time

@@kokichii_oma real
Thx
A modern, self-aware Parappa for a generation already accustomed to rhythm games. Nice! Popular opinion I’m sure, the baking game and using a mixing bowl as a record scratch is killer

Oh god i just noticed (almost) all the voices in this game are vocaloids, that's amazing!
I'm trying to pin which ones are which; I know Biggie is Big Al, but the rest are hard for me to get
@@Jinsoku440 seeing as biggie is from big ai, maybe the others are also have names based on their vocaloids?
The second character on the tutorial sound like hatsune miku
i keep thinking melodii is rin but im never quite sure
@@marinanieto7670 Jamtine sounds like either Eleanor Forte or Cyber Diva…
Probably Cyber Diva more to an Eleanor now that I listen to the voice more closely.
Looks like an interesting take on Parappa! The only issue I’m seeing right away is the overworld is too big with too little filling it in. The size is fine if there’s interesting stuff everywhere but whole screens of nothing but sidewalk and trees isn’t very interesting.
Its still in demo so more may come soon!
@@sukisukughost yea but it's still a demo lol while it's still in the early development phase it's the perfect opportunity to give feedback and criticism
They weren’t saying “don’t criticise” lol they were just saying “it’s still in the demo phase so they will probably fill the empty space with time”
I still have no fucking idea how the rhythm gameplay works but I'm in love with the aesthetic and characters!
Pink = press notes to support and blue = press notes when rhythm ends and repeat or remix
Just play parappa lol
Then you’ll understand
@@asmarly understand that part, but can you use nintendo switch joy cons?
@@GodOfTheJGCU not sure, i dont believe you can though
This game got a unexpected but cool update! Melodii can now walk around the world!
What I like about this update:
Nami.Wav
And the Rival Battle animation for the vs screen
Stickers help Melodii during songs like the Melodii sticker allows her to mess up once without losing any score
There's now a bar warning when it switches to support and repeat it now flashes
I love Stir and Mix's lyrics
How the miss sound is melody saying "HUH?"
I wonder if 3D Mode changed though
3d mode did change
It now gives a 3D-FI bonus and has a line of dialogue for end of the song Grease Poppin.
Being "Woah dude my Burger's in 3D!"
My biggest complaint is that lack of shown inputs on instrumental notes. Having to completely memorize a verse, while having to switch your controls, while going through a song for the first time is BRUTAL for any player nevermind newcomers. I love the support bits. I think a short burst of Cool Mode is the best way you can do it. The issue with cool mode is that if you do your own thing you'll basically immediately lose it. So letting you make your own lyrics while not immediately getting snubbed out is great. I also like how Melodii is a fusion between Parappa and Lammy, filling the role of the singer and the instrumentalist. The format of short but more varied and plentiful battles is much more preferable too, the entire Parappa trilogy can be finished in less than 5 hours because of how little songs there are.
There are few things that I wish were better
For one I wish that there was a better difficulty slope (The first song is BRUTAL if you haven’t played Prappa the Rapper before) ,having more general exploration without running Into invisible walls would be nice, and personally (BIG emphasis on the personally) I think the first song is atrocious.
But for a demo it does a fantastic job with its music, animations, and fun things that happen during the songs. (The second song is my personal favorite)
7/10
I can't wait to see what's in store for this game :D
Edit: Nevermind, I was very, very, VERY wrong with the lack of emotions.
Also, I feel that Melodii's shocked reaction on the vs. screen worked for the first two songs, but by the third one at least, it feels like it might be more appropriate to switch to another one.
The overworld is also very, VERY bland, which is made even worse by contrast with the gameplay. There’s WAY too much big, empty space. Just shrinking down the whole thing would be an improvement.
@@spongeintheshoe yeah, i feel like if they (melodii) had personalized reactions, maybe playing off of the opponent's animations, it could really be something special
For a demo it was definitely a really good proof of concept but the overworld definitely feels a bit more slapped together compared to the pure quality of the music stages.
Honestly I completely agree, but as a proof of concept it’s really well done especially the animation
Nami.WAV should be 4 hours long. That is a JAM.
Holy shit it SLAPS
shit went hard
if it would be 4 hours long your fingers would be sore as fuck
Vaporwave is a great vibe.
lol i love how melodii comes out of a music bathroom instead of a gendered one at 20:10
the three genders
male female and 🎶
@@buddingblossoms i love being 🎶 gender
I am 🎤. My gender is 🎶. And my pronouns are 🎼/🎵
15:43 the sound of alert fits so well
The art style and sound effects are giving off strong Petscop vibes.
Parrapascop
Wooow a game based of of a rhythm game on the ps1 means its like petscop
I was just about to write this comment down!
Have you heard of the playstation before?
@@evilocto22 omg stfu let this man enjoy what he wants
7:56 I like how calm the dude is, got his fence get graffiti on it without permission but let it slide because it looked cool anyway
the art style reminds me of rhythm heaven and i love it

I found you ace
@@slushee8094 what Hi slushee
rah rah sis boom bah boom
@@nohintshere break cmon ooh
Ok Melo's reaction to the VS Rival screen appearing was hilarious. I'll be watching this project for sure!
I haven't even played this game, just ran into a random video of it on TH-cam. A lot of love went into this game, definitely looks like a good time
Game overs so far in this game:
Tutorial: dream starts ripping
Cinnabay and biggie cheesecake: piano falls on melodii's head
Nami: dolfin is gonna have enought and slaps melodii's face
Jamtine: the house will get too much smoke so both of them couchs and buff butter will slaps melodii's face from melodii's POV
McWave's: entire restaurant exploded + IT happened from melodii's grill
the butter slaps you if you fail during stir and mix!
Oh thx for helping
"It's how my Mom and Dad fell in love! Well, at least until I was born, so just don't have any babies and you'll be fine!"
Jesus CHRIST Melodii!
15:58 this' the main reason why, i gived this demo a try.
this' also my favorite song of the game.
Holy hell, the animations in each song is so very detailed! Fluid and swift movements, high framerates, creative and silly expressions, i would never have thought the game would have this judging from the overworld stuff and the tutorial.
Idk how much time the devs had to burn for this quality, but as a demo it's so very worth it.
I like melodii stumbles with her words when you miss notes. The animations so cute too. Same with the vocaloids.
I like Nami's voice when she says "waves of the water break down the tension"
5:57 MELODII'S FACE 😭😭😭
The overworld needs a little more polish but everything else is SO GOOD
The turtle dancing on beat is way makes me 😂🤣 11:06
No one brought up the Wii pointer in Nami's stage?
I didn't know it was THAT well hidden.
I did see it I was like "is that a wii pointer going around the screen?"
@@Thekeysoflight same
I saw it
Its not in there
@@Keychan64 It is, around 10:57.
I LITERALLY CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS
Sameee

You don’t gotta thank me, I did it partially for myself.
Also time stamp for butter man is 15:56
So far I love the character design. The artstyle reminds me of Rhythm Heaven and WarioWare and the gameplay is like Parappa, like everyone seems to point out, but it has enough differences that make it unique and interesting as well
It’s so cool
14:25 THE WAY SHE SAYS IT SO CASUALLY😭😭
4:30 Is nobody gonna talk about the DEAD BODY outside of Melodii's house?
We're gonna talk about it now
The sounds outside her house at 3:30 might explain it
5:51 biggie is now a ball
This is some sort-of Rhythm Heaven, Parappa the rapper, RPG, Vocaloid hybrid. And I love it.
1. Federal agents showing up over graffiti. By a child, no less.
2. Dressed like stereotypical secret service members, complete with sunglasses and earpiece with curly wire.
3. No identification provided beyond "from the government."
4. Handing out a sentence on the spot, without a trial.
5. "Community Service" that consists of private jobs that you find on your own with no supervision.
Calling it: These guys aren't actually government agents, and that form they gave you just serves to have the money you earn working these jobs paid into an account of theirs.
Also I'm pretty sure they ran over a child in the street as they drove away
nah they gotta be the ELITE BEAT AGENTS
the dog is very worried about the economy, that is never a good sign
what is this absolute work of art...
it's like a mix of FNF, Parappa, Sega Genesis, and WarioWare, I love it so much
Don't bring FNF into this. Just don't.
@@somesadnormie5881 Chill out, it’s literally just a game.
XDDDD
@@Ablaire a game full of controversies by ruthless mod creators which damaged the reputation of the game
@@Pytatoon I'm talking about the game and you are talking about the community. Plus, having a negative opinion toward something because of the community isn't really a smart way of enjoying things in general, just some advice.
HOLY KERBUNCLES! This looks so charming and full or personality! Almost feels like a mix between Parappa the Rapper and Undertale (while also creating an adorable personality of its own), AND I LOVE IT!!
11:39 when nami froze and was on the floor reminds me of Roblox lag LOL
SAME
The way that nami just paused and fell was so funny
1:40 why her snore sound like an ambulance tho 💀
The “are you gonna beat me up?!” With the dwomp face killed me
I have that as my profile pic lol
Im pretty sure thats a reference to the Sad SpongeBob meme
Can't believe it's been a year since the first demo, this game is so good. I literally can not wait until it's finished
LJ killed it still wish TH-cam didn’t screwed over his TH-cam channel so we could get more of this
Idk why but i have a pretty good feeling in this part 6:48
God I'm so happy that there are so many modern rhythm games with compelling mechanics AND character now
So this is why it took long lol, the open-world rpg-esque hubworld lol
I think that was the easy part, Every single song has like 100+ animations and 100+ missing animations as well as 3d objects
@@TransparencyInvisible , Lmao

The scream always gets me
6:40 "Hey Dj, i've got admit, this kid's got style and bars to spit"

Thanks for the info and have a great day.

I’m so HAPPY this is out 🥰 I loooove this game
21:02 Chip Skylark’s Icky Vicky dance
But beyond that I wonder if it will have a way to do the freestyle thing that Parappa used to have seeing as the gameplay style is clearly inspired by that
this is so cure man i really hope they make more of it. I want to see more of Melodii!
9:08 what the dog doin?
14:19 by GOD that's not a line I was expecting
This looks dope!!! I really love the aestethic!
I’m super excited about this game!! It’s so up near and fun! The music sounds great I love the vocals! The animations are also so smooth. It’s so amazing how much passion was put into this! Everyone did amazing so far!!
1:23 SCRATCHIN AMBULANCE
This is definitely one of the highlights of sage 2022 absolutely love the animations and characters it really reminds me of parappa. Can’t wait to see the finished product
That Butter dance solo was perfect.
The animations are so charming!
Definitely gonna keep an eye on this one!
20:11 apparently Melodii identifies as music
Love all of the concepts used here, they’ve done a great job with this game! Reminds me of so many 2000s titles as well the Parappa series, but has many of its own charms! Cool sound design too!!
This… is unlike anything I’ve seen before. Keep up the amazing work
Squidward’s house
🗿
I agree
What about it?
THE SECURITY SYSTEM *TAKES*

20:05
Keeping this here to come back to later, love this song
I don’t know what this is, but I enjoy the art style, character design and music
It’s legit giving me. Cartoony anime, WarioWare, Rhythm heaven, Friday Night Funkin’ and Taiko no Tatsujin vibes
I imagine it as Parappa + FNF with rhythm heaven vibes
mad nostalgia for me right now. I grew up watching Parappa gameplay videos' back then every day I went home from school because i never knew how to get parappa. this game really brings me back.
I'm sorry but 20:42 kills me evertime 😭💀🤣
he thought this game will play many and everyone will like it and this is very epic scratching melodii ost will always be a good game. TH-camrs will make a video that plays a good scratching melodii ost good video
OMG SCARTCHIN MELODII IS A PAPARAPA STYLE GAME WITH A NON BINARY PROTAG AND BANGER VOCALOID SONGS WHAT MORE CAN A PERSON ASK FOR
They arent nonbinary they are Ambiguos gender, heres what i found.
Melodii doesn't have a defined gender. It's worth noting that at the start of "Grease Poppin'", when Synth Mcwave comes out the men's bathroom, one would expect Melodii to come out the women's bathroom. They instead come out of a third bathroom with a note symbol on it.
@@Disrupted_Vessel In fact this is for the player to feel themselves as Melodii, because she is a link between us and the game, she is an angrogynus character, initially she may have the girl looking design but I guess the developer took the choice of see her as either a girl or a boy, even if there is already a persona for her. Besides, Melodii is too young for that ideology that only causes more trouble than good.
She is not no binary, dude
@@Disrupted_Vessel still pretty cool
Dude this is amazing!!
it's so cool to see all the inspirations in this game
Can you imagine how incredible that was when the butter hit the advanced gritty?
10:50 this is so adorable
This was so helpful!! Thank you
This is just adorable: 6:04
Parappa the Rapper
15:53 me encanta la cara de melody en esta parte XD
I love how animate the characters are in the rival battles.
I’d never thought you could put too much love in a game until now…
I love that there are flavor paired sodas that go with these, so cool!
i found out about this game yesterday and i already adore it
If Parappa and WarioWare had a collab, it would look like this.
Awesome video you did great on this game
i absolutely love this game’s style, it gives me vibes to games like Parappa, Petscop, Warioware, and more. its just so vibrant and unique in general and i hope the development of this game goes smoothly!
Man I remember playing the first demo and it’s shocking how much the game changed
I love the personality and style of this game! It looks really fun!!
This game looks amazing! I hope, if it ever gets a full release, that we get to see that butter man at least once more.
I never even heard of this game but good god it OOZES with style!
