The game concept is supercool and playing to the beat is fantastic. I would just like to have more of an introductory level to practicing things, or maybe a tutorial. I think it could be a very ncie game afterwards, especially learning when to start running towards a gap so that the beat leads to a jump at the edge is quite exciting! Would like to see an improved post-jam version!
Good job, team!
I enjoy that any action the player does has to be to the beat! Even jumping, if I got that correctly. I could not seem to grasp the rhythm very well, showing the beat visually in multiple ways and places could help to stay in rhythm. (like the environment "pulsing" or sth). The character art is interesting and I like the death animation a lot.
The beat idea is super cool!! I didn't realise it while playing the game but then I read the text and it was all clear! For me, the longer pauses were nice for getting together one's next strategy, the longer beats for executing it and the mixed for just trial and error XD A really nice concept, I loveit!
A fun little rhythm game where you blow things up and it looks great. Moving around feels awkward, but I'd blame the mapping (height of platforms...) instead of the mechanics.
The game looks and feels amazing!
I struggeled to get the hang of the controls a bit, but got quite a good score in the end. :D
