Unfortunately it froze before I could get into the actual game. I'm glad you participated though! I didn't manage to get anything released for my 3rd Ludum Dare, but now I'm onto my fifth! Hang in there.

yeah it says to use the arrow keys, but it freezes as soon as you press anything. :(
Hi guys @raphiell @fire-phantom7 , thanks a lot for reporting this ! The issue came from the the use of ini files located in a appdata folder and GMS doesn't export it. I did not had the issue since I had the files locally... I've now included these files within the project, this should be OK :) Thank you! Cheers!
It's working for me now! Thanks for uploading a working version. I think using the arrows keys is not the best decision, as I can't hit all the arrows with one hand, without using my thumb, it's just a bit uncomfortable. It is unfortunate that it got difficult to work on this game by the third day, I would have liked to see it fleshed out more. Thanks for taking the effort to upload a playable version!
Hey! Sorry it flipped from fun to pain this time out. I gave the game a try. I'm pretty bad at rhythm games in general (although I remember Parappa fondly) so I didn't score super-well on this. I was doing okay at first, but the way the arrows come in and want me to press several different ones at once made it tough. I think I was thrown off by the way the arrows come from four different directions. I kept inverting left/right in my brain: the things coming from the left want me to press right. It makes sense because they are MOVING right, but somehow my brain kept thinking about the direction they come FROM and not their direction of movement.
But it was a cool vibe, nice idea to have the breakdancing, and the music choice was nice (if you made that then wow nice work!)
Sorry you didn't get as far as you wanted with this one, better luck next time! I think for me, it would also be very difficult to extend the compo into a jam. The effort of the 48 hours already takes a lot out of me and leaves me in a very drained state. I can imagine that coming to the end and feeling bad and then extending it for ANOTHER DAY would really push me over the edge into unhealthy.
