Did you use any third-party assets or skeleton code?
Heavily modified script to synchronize rhythm. Some Apple loops were used in the music.

Happy to see that we were not the only one to incorporate some rhythm mechanics.
I really like the concept of an enemy that shoots from an untouchable turret, that's pretty original! I can see some inspiration from just Shapes'n Beats with the visuals, which is smart since it's a game jam and you can spend more time on other stuff. It wasn't too long nor short. It's a fun little game!
If I had something to criticize, maybe it lacked a bit of juice?
But all in all good job!
shapes n beats definitely had a hand in inspiring this project!
thanks for the feedback :)
simple but stunning visual. music and audio give a suitable vibe. the game system is easy to pick up and fun to play. good job
thanks so much!
Another seemingly unique take on the theme, really cool. Some more juice on hits would be nice and it took me a while to notice the health bar in the middle of the character. But overall a cool idea executed really well.
yeah that's a good point. thanks for the feedback!
this is pretty fun to play! the concept of only being able to shoot in the marked zones works well.
thanks!
WHY IS THIS PERFECT
thanks so much!
This is cool. I like the idea of only being able to shoot in the boxes. Graphics r sick
appreciated!
Simple but fun
thank you!
Very good, loved the look and sound. The game mechanics are simple but fun and very functional.
glad you liked it!
The gameplay is simple but efficient ! It forces you to take risk to progress in the game. I am very bad and fortunatly you made dash invincible. Great times on this game !
Edit : Nice tutorial at the beginning :)
thanks! I as 50% of the dev team am also terribly bad at the game. I am the reason we had to put that easy mode and skip in the game :D
Nice concept. Pretty fun game over all, nice work!
glad you liked it!
Pretty fun, would've loved more sounds and the dash kinda felt choppy. But a cool idea, good implementation of the theme and simple but good looking visuals :)
thank you! we were aiming for a dash that felt more like a teleport (sort of like Celeste's). We probably should've given it an audio queue.
Nice game, simple but great visuals, nice audio and feedback
The theme made it soo original, that's really cool!
Shouldn't say it, but easy 5 haha
thanks so much! we really appreciate the kind feedback <3
Cool game, I really like the option to dash at the mouse :)
we figured a few people would prefer that :3
This is cool! really fun and nuanced for the simplicity. Sometimes had a bug where i stopped being able to shoot at all.
been chasing that bug all week! It's got something to do with the tempo being thrown off after unfocusing..
The mechanic of only being able to shoot from certain zones is really nice and the art style looks great.
Not sure if just the web version but being able to shoot, even with in the box, felt inconsistent to me. I don’t recall it being like that in an earlier version so not sure what’s up there.
Hmm. Shooting is activated within rhythm, so usually click-holding is the best way to go. Trying to tap shoot gives varied results--that may be what you're running in to!
Ah yea that makes sense. Thanks!
Fun little game. It was simple to play. I wasn't sure what to do when it showed a + icon though.
That's a health kit :3
Nice game.
thank you!
SO. GOOD. Incredibly fun and great execution of your limitation idea. Love the dynamic music that shifts as you progress makes you feel like you're progressing ever closer to the boss and the balancing is tough but in a good way like it's a good pacing I feel and just overall it's incredibly solid and just a really well made and fun bullet hell with an interesting mechanic that makes it stand apart on its own! :D I got through the first 2 bosses so as of writing this I want to see how far I can get later on.
Thank you for the kind words! We wanted it to be difficult, but not so much that it'd immediately be dismissed. Good luck on the third boss :D
Resolution for the WebGL is set way too big (I'm guessing its developed in 4k or 1440p). Its so big that I can't hit the start button! I had to change my display scaling and still half the game is cut off. The gameplay is pretty unique however the enemy shooting behaviour could be tweaked to make it slightly more interesting. However well done! amazing how you could produce such a product in such a small time frame
yeah, the resolution and WebGL was put together in the last hours, which lead to a couple issues. I think pressing F11 to fullscreen it adjusts it to your monitor tho (for any other players that might run into this issue)
thanks for taking the time to play the game and thanks for the comment!
f11 doesnt work on mac but ill try it the next time I boot up my windows pc
