playing with keyboard is awful
keyboard controls: space=jump
enter=A
shift=B
L. click= R2
R. click= L2
Q=left
D=right
S=down
P=pause
Vraiment très bon jeu ! On sent l'influence de Hollow Knight mais, la réalisation et la cohérence artistique font qu'il s'émancipe de son maître. Félicitations !
CONSIGO UN FPS... EL JUEGO ESTÁ BIEN PARECE (AUNQUE LAS ANIMACIONES CON UN FPS NO ERAN MUY FLUIDAS... ;) POR LO QUE PARECE EL JUEGO ESTÁ MUY BIEN Y DE GRAFICOS LA VERDAD MUY BIEN PERO ES QUE JUGAR CON UN FPS ES IMPOSIBLE... (JUEGO EN UN PORTATIL HP CON UN INTEL I-3 DE 10 GENERACIÓN(SE QUE NO ES POTENTE NI MUCHO MENOS PERO PARA UN PEQUEÑO JUEGO EN 2D DEBERÍA DE VALER.. OTROS JUEGOS SIMILARES CORREN A 60 U 70.)
EL JUEGO ESTÁ MUY BIEN Y LES ANIMO A DESCARGARLO LA CULPA DEBE DE SER DE MI PC, QUE NO REGRIFERA COMO DEBERÍA, AUNQUE AUN ASÍ SIGUE SIENDO MUY POCO RENDIMIENTO.
FELICITACIONES A LOS DESARROLADORES POR ESTE JUEGO TAN BUENO.
UNA PENA NO HABERLO PODIDO DISFRUTAR.
P.T. EL JUEGO ES HERMOSO : )
This game is... Awesome, just, awesome
A friend of mine sent me this game thinking I would like it. Good call ! The gameplay is pleasent, and if it was longer, it would have nothing to envy to other game like Ori or Hollow Knight, wich are my personnal favorite for their kind.
Nice work !

ils le copient
what happened with the switch :(
As a game dev myself, i really enjoy the game - amazing mood and astonishing visuals... as i'm new here - will there be a full version of the game? There should be enemies and a clever usage of playing the fiddle ;-))
Thanx a lot for this amazing piece of art ;-)
AND - play it with a controller, forget the keyboard ;-)
10 out of 10 for me , i just love this kind of games. music's good, scene's beautiful. i played it for 3 times in one day and can't get enough.

Hello!
Thank you so much, we are pleased that you enjoyed the game so much.
Take care!
this is cool overall but controls makes my right hand hurt VERY MUCH
Hi!
We are glad you liked the game! We know that the keyboard controls are not suited for QWERTY keyboards. We didn't have the time to implement controls customization since it's a student project.
You can still install an AZERTY keyboard on your computer if you run with Windows and then switch from QWERTY to AZERTY when you want to play!
Cheers!
Thank you for sharing the keyboard controls (many times!) Right now I only have issues "Poking" using the left mouse button. I tried holding the direction and then press the mouse button, I tried holding the mouse button and then press the direction, I tried to synchronize pushing both at the same time, but nothing worked. I repeated the same with right and middle button out of desperation. I would think that "down" + poke would be easy... but nothing. So I am stuck in the tutorial when I am supposed to jump on the wall and then propel myself upward. Is jumping on the wall even related to the poke use? Thank you for your time. My little girl is really looking forward to play once we figure this out.
I accidently selected levels from the menu and in those levels the mouse button works... but not in the tutorial !
Hello!
We apologize for the trouble with keyboard controls, the game was created for controller use, and the keyboard controls have not been widely tested. Issues like this are possible...
I hope you enjoyed the game despite these concerns. Let us know if you have troubles in the future!
Cheers!
why can't i 'claim' the game to add it to my library? weird how you can only d/l it, eh
Yes, that's how free games work on itch!
Thank you for the generosity.
court mais putain trop bien ce jeu la mécanique de super saut est jouissive j'ai fait tout le jeu en sautant vraiment bien jouer
If I don´t have an Xbox controller, how can I still play the game?
no, you can't
thanks for the quick reply.
I played it with a ps4 controller. You can open steam, add the game as a "non steam game", then run it in big picture and it works fine :)
Congrats! It's also on GOG now!
Great game
Congratulations on a great game. Very beautiful and with a magnificent soundtrack, I am very happy to have the opportunity to play this masterpiece.
It's sad how some people made a virus version of it
That's why you shouldn't download it from other/non-official website.
100% agreed
Just saw this got released on GOG! Nice.
Uno de los mejores juegos de música
Hello there!
Thank you very much, glad you liked our game!
Cheers!
Very good
Hello!
Thank you :)
Cheers!
Sonata es un viruz symphonia es el juego
este es mi sitio más confiable
Good to know :)
First of all, thank you very much for giving us this glorious, yet painfully short game. Games as an art are such a rarity these days around, in this age of games as services. I've enjoyed Symphonia a lot. I hope, you will bring us more games like this one. Or maybe even a sequel?
I've also came here to mention that I've made myself a quick fix for controls, which I intend to share. Since I do not own a proper gamepad, I've made a really simple 6-lines long AutoHotKey script which enables any WASD-keyboard to properly control the game. Using it is a tad bit easier than swapping language in Windows settings.
So, if anyone still want to play (or maybe re-play) this game, here's my script: https://disk.yandex.ru/d/FlBWE-ZmXJOy_A
Obviously, you need to download AutoHotKey in order to use it: https://www.autohotkey.com/
Other than that, everything is simple - just click and play. Hopefully, it will help somebody to enjoy this little masterpiece.
Have a good one!
Can u make An Mediafire Link? i kinda dont trust That website
No. I upload everything on Yandex Disk nowadays, at least because YD doesn't block my files for their own reasons. I don't know your reasoning, but I'd rather trust YD, than find this script unavailable for download tomorrow. If it make you feel anyhow easier, I've never had any troubles with YD so far.
Anyone else is free to download my file and re-upload it to Mediafire or wherever else. I'm not doing it though.
Hey! I truly have to say something about that.
I'm a game developer, and, i truly warn you that MediaFire is more dangerous than itch.io.
Hola, tengo un control de xbox 360 pero cuando inicio el juego no lo idenfica y no puedo jugar
¡Hola!
Sólo tienes que conectar el mando antes de iniciar el juego. Por favor, vuelva a consultarnos si el problema persiste :D
sip, hise eso antes de iniciar el juego.... esta igual
Amazing project, I wanted to congratulate the team for this awesome experience <3.
Thanks again.
Hello!
It means a lot to us, thank you very much :)
Cheers, take care!
¡Me encanto el juego! Fue corto pero lo disfrute mucho, espero que lleguen lejos y mientras lo jugaba me preguntaba: ¿Por qué esto no esta en Steam?
¡Hola!
Si has disfrutado jugando a Symphonia, ¡nos alegramos!
También esperamos llegar lo más lejos posible y realizar la versión perfecta que siempre tuvimos en mente :)
En cuanto al lanzamiento en Steam, Symphonia fue un proyecto estudiantil inicialmente. Y por lo tanto no podíamos lanzarlo en Steam en ese momento. Este proyecto fue diseñado para estar disponible de forma gratuita, de ahí su presencia en Itch.io.
Dicho esto, el lanzamiento en Steam es uno de nuestros objetivos a corto plazo, ¡así que estad atentos a nuestras redes sociales!
Saludos y cuídate,
sooo beautiful
Hello!
Cheers, it means a lot :)
acabo de terminar su juego y aunque corto estaba bastante bien hecho no tuve ni un solo erro a la hora dejugarlo, en serio increible y aunque tuve problemas con los saltos ya que no me pude familiarizar muy bien nunca llego a ser molesto y como pregunta a los creadores. se puede hacer contenido en youtube acerca de el? ya que me gustaria hacer un gameplay en español
¡Hola!
Muchas gracias por su comentario.
Nos alegramos de que te hayas divertido jugando a Symphonia.
En cuanto a la jugabilidad y los comentarios en español, ¡no dudes en hacerlo!
Es muy amable por tu parte preguntar de antemano, pero cuanta más gente comparta sus jugadas, mejor será para el juego.
¡Saludos y cuídate!
From what I have seen in the trailer it is a beautiful game which prevents me from playing it because I do not have an xbox control to play with it and there is no option to change the controls and thus use the keyboard
Hello there!
Thank you for your comment on our trailer!
It is true we did not have the time to implement button bindings in this student version, and thus the game cannot be played with the keyboard only.
But here are the controls to play with your mouse and your keyboard!
The game was developed with a French keyboard! Thus your traditional WASD keys won't be functioning properly.
Please install a French keyboard first, then switch your keyboard and you will be ready to go!
Mouse Left button: Poke action (using you violin bow, can be performed in various directions: up / down / left / right pressing ZSQD respectively)
Z: up input for violin bow use
Q: run towards the left / violin bow use towards the left
S: down input for violin bow use
D: run towards the right / violin bow use towards the right
A: Play your violin (Y input on a Xbox Controller)
Space bar: jump (analogical, the longer you press, the higher you jump)
P: Pause Menu (presse again to exit menu)
Space bar in-menu: Confirm
Cheers and take care!
el mejor juego del planeta!!!! :D
Hola!
Muchas gracias 🙏🙏
Muy amable!
Cheers!
I do not know if you are going to see this message but, anyway the game is maybe the better i played here, just 2 things: 1 - The controls -.- and 2 - the things that hurts the player, sometimes needs to be more visually obvious but in general the game for me is 8/10 Good job.
BTW: 200/200 XD
Hello!
I try to answer every message we receive, so here goes!
The controls are quite special, and we tried to offer a different and unique gameplay. https://forms.gle/T5fdGqpW5wYAP2Md7
If you want to provide some detailed feedback, please do so on this attached survey.
For the signs and visuals we always had in mind to make information clear for players, good point about spikes, we will see to it.
Congrats for the 200 notes!!! Another Legend of Symphonia has arisen!
Cheers!
Hello, I came for the Guinxu video, and I would like to support you in some way, and a doubt, has it already been released on the Switch? My laptop is not the best for gaming, I hope nothing bad happens to you with your games.
Hello there!
Thank you, that is very kind of you to offer your support!
Send us an email to [email protected] and let us discuss this :)
We are currently working to release this version on the Nintendo Switch. When ready, stay tuned on our social networks to get the news!
