i’m vibin’
VIBES!!
Incredible vibes.
Game feels super polished and the sound design is fantastic.
Also, really love the game title and capsule art. Fabulous all around.
Ahh, ty so much!! glad you enjoyed.
only got 24k in the game, but I was hooked! I really like how you can adjust the type of projectiles you want to shoot, and how the music slowly builds up. visuals are simplistic, but the gameplay is more than enough <3
Thanks for plaaying!
Incredible! Loved the music controlling the shooting. It all progressed a little fast for me, with adding a bunch of beats every iteration and the enemy density ramping up very quickly. I think I would have enjoyed a slower pace, adding one beat at a time and the enemies ramping up more slowly. Extremely fun though!
Thanks for playing and we're glad you enjoyed the tunes. Yeah we might have been able to get away with 1 song across 2 levels and slowed down the game a bit. Thanks for the feedback!
Had a blast. Let’s go!
cheers man!
Incredibly fun bullet hell game that interprets the theme in a really fun way! The game gets properly chaotic in an awesome way, which makes the game get progressively more engaging as it goes on. Got to 40k on my first try while still finding every phase of the game until I died challenging, which is a great mark for the escalation and balance of the game. Awesome work all around!
thanks for playing!! Yea, balance is always tough in such short time frames but we're glad that we hit a sweet spot for new players. thanks again!
Probably my favorite game from the ones I played during the jam, the concept is amazing and it feels rly good to know instinctively when you're about to shoot with the rythm. Nice enemy and upgrades variety too !
Reached 54k 😎
Dang, 54k is pretty decent! Thanks for playing and we're glad you enjoyed!
Honestly a great game! I got 26k in the end it is a really good concept executed basically perfectly. With some more effects and maybe a retro glow similar to Tetris effect I think people could be playing this on their phones on the way to school or at home as a chill game.
Well done!!!
Thank you for the delightful comments!
Love the mobile idea, we'll have to investigate.
Thanks for playing :)
Absolute cinema.
It was great tuning into the stream, thanks for playing!
Sick concept, this game is super engrossing! I love the musical customization.
Thanks for playing :)
Very fun to play! Got to 46170 score - really like the different SFX for each ability, they were very descriptive of each ability.
Glad to see you tried endless.
Thanks for the nice comments and for giving it a go :)
Hey this is awesome! I really like that the different abilities level up if two are placed in the same beat. This is a really fun idea.
We really appreciate the kind words. We wanted the abilities to feel different every time you play, glad to hear that came though.
Thanks for playing :)
WoW! Damn this game's music are amazing who made them. Oh I know it was me... hehe.
Nice game
Hope you enjoyed jamming out to the grooves you created!
Thanks for playing :)
I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW! Words Can't Describe Why I Love This Game So Much! This is the Highest I've Rated so far. (Read Reply)
First of all, I love the games where sound and music is a Part of the Game. I love bullet hell games + You can Choose your own Abilities. I've found some other games that do one of those things (I will link those) but this game does all of that and is Crazy Fun!
this game uses sounds as music -https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2025/rate/3774648
this game is very similar. (the way you make music) -https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2025/rate/3767593
this game allows stacking abilities and is also very fun - https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2025/rate/3774153
Your Game has it All.
You've absolutely made our day!
We're so happy and grateful to hear that you had fun playing the game and impressed you got such a high score so quickly (we were grinding for ages to get that far in endless).
Thanks for posting other cool games. We're checking them out right now!
Hey, thank you for checking out our game! I thought this was a really cool game and I really enjoyed getting to customize the different attacks based on the beat of the music. Really enjoyed this!
Happy to hear you had fun! Thanks for playing :)
A good Jam game, although it repeats Beat Blast in many ways. But this is not a reproach towards the game, just an observation. As they say, everything was already been in the Simpsons.
so, the game is really very vibe-like, you even have to think a little strategically. which notes and sounds to put in which order. for maximum DPS
The only problem for me is that I don't really understand when you take damage. the sound is lost in the middle of the rest of the music.
9/10
Ahh, it looks like the hit animation got lost when we swapped speaker colours. Appreciate the feedback.
Beat Blast seems really interesting! We'll have to give it a go.
Thanks for playing :)
Super fun game. It's a 10/10 from me!
Heres my highscore
Wow, that is a mind blowing score!
You've got one of the devs replaying through the game to beat it.
Thanks for playing :)
Great idea, a lot of fun. Things can get a bit overwhelming with dividing attention at times, but I really like the mash-up of a vampires-like, bullet hell and rhythm game. Satisfying arrangement of attack types, fair and challenging mix of enemy types, effective art and music, overall a really solid entry
Glad to hear the mix of genres came across well and totally agree on the attention dividing too.
Thanks for the feedback, and for playing!
THIS IS SO COOL!!! Hearing how the beat came together with the different elements I placed was so much fun!
I would have loved to have the option to preview the beat so I can make adjustments where needed before playing the next section but its a huge vibe already!🎵
A beat preview is a great idea, that's absolutely going on the post-jam to-do list.
Thanks so much for playing!
Really enjoyed this game. I liked that the attack sounds fit so well into the song.
thanks for playing =)
