The arrows not being in :arrow_left: :arrow_down: :arrow_up: :arrow_right: order, the DDR order, got my brain heated.

I'm also not a fan of the speed, it's very slow.

The music is boppin', and death be jammin'.

The score board didn't work for me, didn't seem to load. If it's anything like the trouble I've had with this before, you might need to look at Cross-Origin Resource Sharing. That's just a wild guess though.

What a nice little game, to bad the highscore system did not load for me, I could see myself trying to beat the other players scores.

I have to agree with EmberUshi about the arrow position, it really messed with my mind. I would personally would have liked Left, Up, Down and RIght. Maybe a setting where the player can choose the order of the keys.

Rhythm games like DDR are usually not my forte, but this was exceptional. Banging soundtrack and an awesome amount of juice (loved the fireworks etc.) that you get when you progress!

Ah, reading these other comments, I understand that's why I was having brain derp at the start, the arrows were in an unfamilar order. Otherwise a fun game, I enjoying rhythm games a lot, and it fits the theme nicely. Oh. No. I typo'd my own name in the scoreboard. Whoops.

Cool idea for a game! This was a lot of fun and the music was good.

Is it just me or is the music not really synced up with the speed of the arrows you need to hit? I felt like I was trying to keep a beat different to the one than I was hearing which was a bit jarring.

Overall really cool tho! I got 2575 points.

I loved the music and the visuals here! The dynamic camera really helped everything pop. I’m a big fan of rhythm games, though like the guy above said the order of the arrows threw me off a bit. Great work!

Really liked this. The camera angles and the particle effects made the whole game feel really satisfying. The music was really good too so overall nice work!
