Anything you want to say to players before they play?
A shooter game where you don't control when the gun fires: it fires alongside the beats of the track!

Challenging game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum dare 42 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look

Interesting idea! Took a while to get the hang of not being instantly shot to death on first seeing an enemy, but once I figured it out I had fun! Mostly just ended up peeking into rooms in time with my gun rhythm and spraying the room with bullets...but it worked!

This was interesting but I couldn't move AT ALL.  I don't know if that's a bug specifically, that I had. But it was unplayable

I had some trouble by the doors because they shot so quickly!  I ended up firing towards doors and keeping ranged before I went into a room. Also preferred rifle over shotgun. HOWEVER I like that the music depends on weapon selected.

Nice concept, this could be developed further into something really cool. I like the soundtrack, fits nicely with the game. Suggestions for improvement - either slower enemy projectiles, or more telegraphing from the enemies. It is currently quite difficult. And even though it's not a huge deal, it would be nice to start again immediately rather than returning to the title screen.

This is a fun game that I would like to have a lot of tries on it. One problem in the aspect of difficulty: It would be better if enemies shows some visual effects before firing; as enemies fire bullets with high velocity, visual effects before firing makes the enemies actions more predictable.

This is a really great concept ! With more work and less difficulty, it could be awesome !
