This game is phenomenal. The graphics alone were enough to carry it. Then once I actually figured out the gameplay...sold.

applejam 2015-08-25 10:10

This game is amazing! Everything is perfect - art,music, gameplay, 10/10 O GOSPODI 10/10!

egor-idiot 2015-08-25 10:33

Hey! Awesome game!
Love visuals as well as sounds.
Good job guys.

collaboration 2015-08-25 11:06

So awesome!

Very nice. Couldn't figure out the correct rhythm though > _ > I suppose the little arrow in the left part is supposed to be the hint, but … Trying to synchronise my key press with the arrow moving / the monster pulsing almost never worked, always got 'bad'. I just had a run where I lasted until the second level, got a couple of perfects, but I can't really say I felt it was with the rhythm of the song. Maybe add a visual tutorial, to make sure I know which sound cues to respond to? :/
It's a very well polished game, and it makes me sad that I can't figure out the timings. I like DDR games and the like.

Damn, that pixel art is beautifull. Very cool game, kinda hard to move in sync to the beat, but it was pretty fun :P I got to the end but my bar wasn't full. Does it have a better ending when I fill the bar?

finlal 2015-08-25 11:54

"Zccc says ...

Maybe in post-jam version

This game is awesome, beautiful art and nice music. Good job !

crazi456 2015-08-26 07:14

Wow..... that was awesome. Great Visuals, amazing music, and solid gameplay. Great work!

nowandstudios 2015-08-26 07:19

Wow! Original game. Love music

djfariel 2015-08-26 07:37

1st Thought:
"What the hell am I doing that is Good, Bad, and Perfect?...and why?"

Pros:
Art and music, hands down. Great job on both.
Solid mechanics, animations looked nice.

Cons:
Other than the obvious "Press S over the people/ things" I had no idea what I was doing. I couldn't tell if I was being hit when attacked, or if the goal was to survive the wave? It was very unclear.

Overall:
If things were made more clear, I feel like this game would be a smashing success.

Fricking love this game, one of my favourites I've played this jam! The music, the graphics the gameplay everything was just top notch. I'm totally getting that soundtrack, amazing.

dragongino 2015-08-26 10:52

good music. only i am so bad in rythme games.
still great graphics and in fits in the theme.

ilookedatyourtitsandiminlove 2015-08-26 12:47

Fantastic game, 5/5 across the board for me :P Only complaint I have is that the "Eat Again" button doesn't seem to work at the end :P

hero7785 2015-08-26 15:16

Best game so far!

rongefilet 2015-08-26 15:21

Except for the lack of clarity on when to activate the shield everything is just perfect. It plays, sounds and looks fantastic ! ^^

tablesmithgamesgmial-com 2015-08-26 15:26

This game is very well done for such a short time period of work. This could quite easily be developed into a full game and I hope you continue to show this game some love! :D

techblogogy 2015-08-26 15:35

This is an amazing game. The music is absolutely fantastic.
Fantastic little rhythm game

euske 2015-08-26 15:36

Pretty well made, but I don't know what to do after the music is changed. The spaceship disappeared and enemies keep appearing but I had no control.

tal 2015-08-26 15:36

Awesome music & mood ^^
but i didnt like the gameplay :(
but still amazing work!

mrkohcepbaht 2015-08-26 15:46

Wow. This is good. The best graphics I've seen so far on LD33.

Yummy, those pixels be delicious.

someone9999 2015-08-26 21:38

Woah! That was way too much fun!
Everything about the game, including audio, graphics, and gameplay was just extremely well done.

seadads 2015-08-26 22:19

The art's amazing! Gameplay's really fun too, especially after ramping up with the various interesting elements that get added each level.

ghostbomb 2015-08-27 09:59

Awesome game. The animation kind of reminded me of metal slug for some reason.

derr 2015-08-27 10:13

5/5 through the board. One of the best entries I have played. Absolutely amazing. Great job!

adamwoolridge 2015-08-27 10:19

Fantastic job all around! Brilliant.

beardybard 2015-08-27 10:54

The graphics and audio are awesome! You win!!!

shelleyl 2015-08-27 11:05

Brilliant. Great graphics and music. Gameplay was solid and clever.

nikb 2015-08-27 11:35

Excellent visuals and audio. You are going to rock this Ludum Dare, guys.

fantasieleben 2015-08-27 11:48

The monster is really nice.

ruka 2015-08-27 13:11

What a great music! this is one of the best rhythm entry!

jsmars 2015-08-27 14:48

Really nice work! Solid graphics audio and game mechanics. Except I didn't really feel punished for making mistakes and I didn't die even tho I got shot probably 20 times, could be a bit more of a challange :)

daydreamcorgigames 2015-08-27 15:36

Art was awesome! But the rhythm part feels unnecessary. You can have the delay so players are more careful of their action, but the rhythm is just distracting.

cxsquared 2015-08-27 23:34

Really great work everything was pretty amazing. Nice job.

gfm 2015-08-28 21:14

It really reminded me of Crypto of the Necrodancer. :)

There two thing that I found really weird:
1 - There seemed to be no penalty for standing still;
2 - Both attacking and shielding had very long animations, that could take more than a beat. This made it somewhat weird to try to attack repetitively.

I also found the shield to be pretty useless... I don't know if the space-beam could be shielded, but since they were avoidable, I preferred to avoid taking risks... At least the enemies didn't seem to hurt me... (maybe it simply lacks feedback)

Great graphics and audio! The audio also sync'ed pretty well with all animations, which helped with the rhythm game feel. :)

happyhour 2015-08-29 05:46

Excellent sprite work. Pretty addicting once you get into the groove and the rules/enemy patterns are intuitive enough to learn as you play. Great work!

marom 2015-08-30 12:29

I like to play one more time) I completely finished the game. Thanks for the web version)

steboots 2015-08-30 12:29

Concept is perfect, don't know if its just me, but I couldn't get the timing down, but I loved the idea of it!

lanestp 2015-08-30 12:41

Great game! As expected I am terrible at it but everything is just great! My favorite part was the music. Really phenomenal!

tselmek 2015-08-30 13:22

Really nice rythm game, the graphics are really nice and the animations pretty spot on. I can't help myself but compare it to Crypt of the Necrodancer with the movement of the enemies. The difficulty goes out of control in the last levels but it doesn't feel punishing. Great game!

alxr 2015-08-30 13:23

Wow! such an awesome rhythmic game, love the artworks and animations! Congrats!

nomys_tempar 2015-08-30 13:39

Nice music and good visual design, ennemies and monster are perfect.

obvious_san 2015-08-30 13:57

Graphics - Amazing. Soundtrack - Over the top! Gameplay - Polished and nice idea with the rhytm factor! Just awesome :]

pirate_shell 2015-08-30 16:33

The game's visuals are phenomenal and the music is as well. The take on the theme was very inventive and the gameplay was cool. I think a sort of tutorial on the game's mechanics would have been useful. That's really the only issue I have, other than that - brilliant entry!

sanju 2015-08-30 18:00

Nice graphics and polished game. Good work.

sublustris 2015-08-30 19:02

Great game!

evergreen-games-ludum-dare 2015-08-30 20:03

Awesome game!! Quite polished and satisfying. I never used the shield, not sure if the enemies actually do something.

sparrow 2015-08-30 20:32

Awesome game! Had fun, very polished!

drauthius 2015-09-01 18:21

Very nice game. I didn't seem to be able to take any damage though. :[

ulydev 2015-09-01 18:25

I love rhythm games! Awesome work!

yajiv 2015-09-01 18:28

Wow, these graphics are amazing, spectacular animations! Rhythm games are hard to do, especially with all the complexities surrounding synchronization. Great job with this, though. Reminded me of Crypt of the Necrodancer :)

crucknuk 2015-09-01 19:03

Wow, really well done!
the music, the graphics, the rythm! nice combination and fun to play actually!
Also the animation were top notch!
well done!

lmt 2015-09-01 19:08

Awesome visual, and the game plays well also.

crazyminnowstudio 2015-09-01 19:19

Ahhh...I get it...Monster 'Disco'...hehehe At first I just thought the controls were wonky...then it dawned on me and I began rhythm bouncing in my chair as I tongue whipped the enemies. AWESOME!

pat-aftermoon 2015-09-01 19:29

I'm not very familiar with musical games and have difficulty to know what I have to do. Maybe, with a tutorial and more feedback about my actions (bad or good) I could handle it.

Nice graphics and sound, I want to retry and master it.

pomb 2015-09-01 20:04

Epic, I loved this so much well done guys. Really great job. Everything is top notch.

terracottafrog 2015-09-01 21:47

The graphics are great, but the gameplay in this feels almost non existent.

I intentionally tried to do everything wrong and there were no consequences. This makes the rythm element of it pretty much non existant. It feels completely arbitrary when I get perfect or bad. There must be something I'm missing. Please update the description to give some idea of what the arrow means, how things affect you, or what to do.

This seems like a great concept, but the execution is lacking.

exoddinary 2015-09-02 03:35

good music but i suck at rhythm game , nice pixel art

cyrixd 2015-09-02 08:43

Nice combination of rhythm gameplay with the monster theme! I felt the rhythm timings were really punishing, and almost seemed to vary throughout my playtime? Also I couldn't tell if there was anything wrong with missing a beat. Love the art style though, excellent presentation overall. Great work!

radmars 2015-09-03 04:36

Nice! Cool concept and the graphics and music are great. Timing felt a bit weird though, there were a lot of times where I felt like I was hitting exactly on the beat but was still getting bads. Would be cool if there was more gameplay variety too, seemed like there was no reason to use the shield (plus it was hard to tell when the guys were shooting since they were so small). Would love to see this expanded. Great job!

orangeez 2015-09-06 19:42

Daaaaamn, this is a very solid entry! The graphics are just amazing and the music is great!

ethankennerly 2015-09-06 22:28

When I ate people on the beat and saw my rhythm was Good, I felt AMAZED! When I didn't know which key to press or didn't know that every time I move it is marked Bad, I felt confused.

humanatee_studios 2015-09-11 17:46

Great Work all round!

volkoivan 2015-09-12 12:11

Nice-lookong, but I quit on the third level, because get bored. I don't get why missing the beat does nothing? Because I can just constantly press button and it'll work okay for me. Also how to die here? THey were shooting on me, but nothing happened!

kerdelos 2015-09-12 14:48

Great work ! Only negative point I find is that it is a bit repetitive but the ennemies variety compensates it ;D

bombjack 2015-09-12 15:21

generally not fond of rhythm game but I have to admit that is on is a masterpiece. The art is nice and the music is great. Good job!
