I love rhythm games. A cool selection of music. In some cases, it is not very obvious and then it becomes more difficult to get into it.

Guys, add screenshots from the game to the description) In general, it's quite atmospheric

lelek-hunor-kadosa 2024-04-16 21:21

It looks awesome and it's polished well. Nice work

I love rhythm games and this has been one of them.

kirass 2024-04-16 21:41

Interesting game! I like it!

yoruvii 2024-04-16 21:49

reaperhb 2024-04-16 21:52

Thx :D

coffie 2024-04-16 21:56

Game looks fun in the screenshots. I'd really like to have a WebGL or Mac version :frowning2:

karln 2024-04-16 22:04

I can't figure out how to buy any turrets in phase 2, and when I try to proceed it just game overs. Have I mmissed a control?

alldee 2024-04-16 22:07

@karln You don't have to press 'P' right away, you have to buy turrets! You can move around with the arrow keys and press "e" near the little cylinders to buy turrets :)

karln 2024-04-16 22:15

Oh okay, "E" is what I was missing, I was trying spacebar and clicking etc. I'm off to try again, then :) EDIT: ohhhh the platform things! I missed them completely and was trying to place turrets at the swirly portals

kseniya 2024-04-16 22:19

What an unreal visual, I'm getting high

jake-g 2024-04-16 22:20

The screenshots look incredibly good but I wish I could play it on the web :sob:

supportlik 2024-04-16 22:21

Oh my! This was something different. I really liked the Approach that gave you a different feeling about this Jam.

Keep up the great work!

c0nscience 2024-04-16 22:24

I like the style and the graphics look amazing. Pretty good job, especially in 72h! Gameplay wise it's not my cup of tee with the rhythm part.

tavevil 2024-04-16 22:37

Really love the atmosphere and cute character sprites. Great work!

aameliebernardd 2024-04-16 22:40

And it was today I realised I have no finger coordination X) Definitely started strong here! Loved the visuals and was hooked with the music!

gnum 2024-04-16 22:46

I really liked your game. You did a great job and did a great job!!!

zablas 2024-04-16 22:47

Cool concept that it switches between gameplay styles. And the music is a bop :D

answer21 2024-04-17 01:01

It's just "Musical"

avi 2024-04-17 01:33

Wow! this is impressive as heck! THe art and music are fantastic! I was wondering -- were the rythm components manually arranged? Or were they somehow procedurally generated? Eg how easy is it to add a new song?

heretic 2024-04-17 07:18

super cool visual style, everything is top notch, I really enjoyed it

paul-maaswinkel 2024-04-17 07:22

Cool game! Sometimes it was a bit difficult to feel which accents in the music were intented rhythmically, so it then became more of guessing than exact hitting. Also the audio cues for hitting and missing could be a bit more prominent. Overall very cool!

pabloabraham 2024-04-17 08:11

Arte e atmosfera impecáveis, parabens adorei.

johantran 2024-04-17 08:31

@avi Hey, we used MIDI File to generate notes ! It allow us to implement quite easily a new song ( so even for us, complete beginner in music can have a decent result ! ) S/O to this really nice tuto : https://youtu.be/ev0HsmgLScg?feature=shared How to make a rhythm game in Unity ( using MIDI ) by SkyanSam

beebster-games 2024-04-17 09:39

@avi What a well designed and thought out game. Never got past the rhythm section though.

I might try it later when I have more time to play.

jonnydrumz 2024-04-17 09:50

Hello, I liked a lot this game, its enjoyable and graphics are cool. As a drummer, I suggest to use a rythm control for the songs (for example, one button for the bass durm, other for the snare, another for toms and other for cymbals for example) although it could be tricky to play with haha It's only a suggestion but the game is already pretty cool Congrats!

lazzor 2024-04-17 14:44

Wow, I'm bad at rhythm games :D But yours is fun nonetheless! The graphics are nice all around and the sound as well!

I think it would be an improvement, if the message wouldn't just say "Press P to start next round" but instead what the player will actually do in the next round. E.g. "Press P to start jamming", "Press P to place turrets" and "Press P to defend against the enemies". I imagine that could help understand the game loop in the first playthrough and what you are supposed to do. Also, the turret spots could be highlighted in some way. I walked to the portals first in search of a place to put my turret and only then realized that there were designated places for them.

But, as I said, great job from all of you! :)

thekatmol 2024-04-17 15:50

Love this game and concept! very fun to play!

maks-night-dlc 2024-04-17 17:09

Wow! All this coolness and only in 72 hours! I really respect your work! Even if I'm bad in rythm games.

decadedecaf 2024-04-17 17:22

I'm super impressed by the arsenal of music tracks that you all managed to fit into this game without detracting from everything else. It was visually and mechanically very cool as well, even if a little rough around the edges. This is a super stylish entry, and you all should be very proud!

Side note: as someone with the first name Cadence, I feel moved to give this game the Cadence seal of approval, as it kept randomly giving me Katy Perry's hit 2010 pop tune California Gurls ft. Snoop Dogg, which was both unforgettable AND undeniable.

hsg-gringo 2024-04-17 17:29

very nice rhytm td :) artstyle and music are so cool! GJ guys!

chronicpain 2024-04-18 19:41

Awesome entry ! I'm usually not a big fan of rhythm games but it was so well done here that I was sucked into it. Great songs , cool gameplay mix, very addictive. Well done guys !

valcka 2024-04-18 19:58

It's a shame, the game is based on music but you have to tap before and not in rhythm for it to work and count! Otherwise I think there is only one level and that's why we have a game over when we click on P for the next game. The graphics are otherwise pretty but too bad I didn't get anything that spawned demons. Big like on the music though!

zanar 2024-04-18 20:04

I'm too lame at rhythm games, but this one was fun! Too bad I didn't have any demon spawn after the music. I only could walk around and when I press P, I had a game over. But it was fun anyway, and pretty!

amunonra 2024-04-19 10:54

Amazing graphics and good taste in the selection of music. After the rhythm part I didn't know what to do and how to summon anything so i just hit "p". Got me quite disappointed to see the game over screen at this point already :(

n3k0k33p3r 2024-04-19 21:44

I had some troubles to understand third phase, first time its just ended when i just pressed p, second time i've got game over immediately. Anyway, love art&music, rhytm phase is fun, even if it seems out of sync for me.

muhyrla 2024-04-21 19:18

It looks like an interesting concept! It seems you guys did a very good job!

iolis-lui 2024-04-22 17:07

Remember that game about Little rapper in red cap? So, this it is, but it convenient buttons and a cute main character!

I really liked the opportunity to walk and equip the base. I will be waiting for your game to become popular))

josang1567 2024-05-02 08:48

Good game, it looks amazing
