Dev/Alt Control Guide

Keyboard "2"Toggle Conventional Controls/Arduino Alt-Controls
Keyboard "3"Debug Reset

The alt-controller probably only work with the standalone windows build.

Make sure the sword is connected (plug it in last, after any other peripherals like a mouse) and lying on a horizontal flat surface, parry buttons facing down. Press "2" to connect, and wait for the flashing LED to turn solid. Then it should be good to go!

If the red LED ever turns off you'll need to unplug/replug the sword and repeat the connection process (no need to restart the game)

This game is soooo much more fun in a quieter room!! Great work team!! The fish parrying is perfect, and the sound of the fish leaving the water exactly one measure before you slice it makes it really satisfying. One gripe I have is the ambiguous timing of the slice notes. I understand you're supposed to wait for the fish to line up and wait for the beat, but I still feel robbed when I slice it one measure too early when the fish were perfectly lined up on my screen!!! I think an pre-emptive sound or something would make it less frustrating, similar to the "Bah bum bum bum" sound in Air Rally from Rhythm Heaven Fever, or if the visual cues didn't fade out as you get closer to the intended timing. Ultimately, the controls were quite responsive and the cute art and music really came together. Wooo!!

Thanks Aron :D Yea there’s a bunch of issues, your feedback Is super helpful!
