Yaaay some metal in a jam game :)

I commented on the game page but forgot to rate here (so now that’s done)

Fun idea, not sure it is very nomad but it’s original to have a top-down action game with rhythm mechanics.

Btw I played your game on stream ( https://www.twitch.tv/videos/878547511 around 2:05:00 ). If you participate to next GWJ I can also play your next game on stream!

Also you’ll be able to see the performance drops. Maybe it’s because of Firefox, I have a pretty beefy computer.

Thanks for playing on stream, awesome to see someone play and reason about it! I can tell you it was not the pathfinding though 😅

Haha, this was fun, but I feel like I have better success in Necrodancer than in this game... I didn't die once though, but I meant in keeping the rhythm. Quite a bit of slowdown on the final level, but I can imagine it's due to the amount of enemies being triggered...

Loved the final screen... Haha definitely gave me a chuckle.

I think there is some code that is executed very inefficiently 😅 Good to hear you could still laugh with the situation, haha. Thanks for playing and the feedback!

Nice game and soundtrack :) It is a little hectic sometimes, dodging enemies and stay in rhythm but overall fun experience. I too experienced some framerate problems when there were more than 3 enemies on the screen.

Please consider rating my game too. :D

Man, that one got me frustrated :D Didn't know I was so out of rhythm. Very fun, enjoyed it very much. The devils would get stuck sometimes but it wasn't a big problem overall :)
Edit: Also I have to mention there were some framerate problems in the third level when there were many enemies on screen at once.

Hehehe, we learn from our frustrations 😜 Yeah I thought that having random enemy sizes would outweigh the negatives of monsters getting stuck sometimes, I’m still not certain what the right choice would be 😅 Thanks for playing and providing feedback!

Really enjoyed it, the shooting felt good and the demon blood splats were cool. The shot went well with the song, but was a bit repetitive, maybe there could be different riffs to play? Could become a very good rhythm game if more songs and complexity were added. Very impressive that it was completed in a week end. Maybe the demons and background could move with the song to make them more lively. Good luck with your other project!

Thanks for playing and providing feedback! 😁 Yeah the self-imposed limitation of making it in one weekend did limit the scope a bit. Originally I also wanted to include solos, where a giant laser beam would blast out of your guitar, multiple songs and rhythms and even a musical end boss. But hey, it is what it is 😅 Will definitely keep your suggestions in mind!
