Count Down Combo

This is my entry for the 2026 GMTK Game Jam.

In this game, play the saxophone in a jazz combo, using the QWER/ASDF and SPACE keys to control pitches, and 1 & 2 keys to control which octave you play in. You only have a certain amount of time to play, so make the most of it as your time ticks down. Don't worry too much about your score, the goal is to HAVE FUN!

I play the Tenor Saxophone in a big band, and the Electric Bass in a jazz combo. Jazz has been a big part of my life, so when I thought of "Count Down" as a theme, I instantly thought of the track by John Coltrane from his Giant Steps album. Thus, the idea for a jazz themed game was born.

Warning, if you press the exit button on the main menu, the game will freeze. In that case, you will have to reload the page to get it started again.
