Thank you so much

I had a hard time understanding how to play but the music and it's implementation has a nice feel just at the pixel art style, it makes me think about Crypt of the Necrodancer! ^^

Thank for your feed back ! Yes, we took a lot of inspiration from crypt of the necrodancer, for a futur version, we will try to make a tutorial to help player understand more easily the mechanics.

I think this genre and theme combination is my favorite so far, really enjoyed it.

Reusing movement to teleport blew my mind. 

Really well done!

Just a feedback if you're going to develop this further.

I'd put the screen shake timed with the top beat indicator.

Not sure if I'm not getting it but it's hard to look at the "timing" at the top and at the movement down. If the screen shake happened when you're supposed to press movement keys you'd ease the puzzle mechanic and make it easier to enter the flow of the music/rhythm.

Don't get me wrong it's very much doable - and fun! - but way harder, found myself repeating a lot (reached 1-5)

Sorry for the long feedback, I really enjoyed the game.

Edit: I've read you received similar feedback about the indicator, maybe making it transparent over the center of the screen!

Developer(+1)

Oh thank you very much! 

According to all the feedback we have, the placement of the rhythm bars are indeed badly positioned to take advantage of the "rhythm game" and "puzzle" aspect at the same time. 

We are going to correct this in another version (probably with circles which is closer to the player I think). 

Thank you again for taking the time to play it, hoping you had a good time with our game :)

The music is fantastic!  I really like the idea too -great use of the reusable theme!!  Excellent work! :D

Developer(+1)

Wow thank you for your feedback :) !!

Woah, this is such a cool idea. I wish the rhythm check was more forgiving tho :P

Thank !
Yeah we know ^^ normally if you move when the rhythm is at 3 pixel to the red bar and also work 0.3 second after reach it, but maybe we should make this more permissive.
Thank again for your feedback !

Man, that is so good! I can see myself sinking some hours into this.  Banger music and a mechanic that is easy to learn but hard to master.  Great work!

Developer

Thank !!
I'm so glad you enjoy it !

Well, that's very incompatible, haha! My mind almost blown because I had to look down where to go and then up if it is time to go :D Maybe I would make that red indicator bigger to make it a bit easier. And would make it go with music, because at first I tried to click to the beat and it didn't work :D Nice entry!

Thank for your feedback !
Yeah we've got a lot of return about the rhythm indicator, we've maybe found a solution to fix that :)
