very chill game... minimalist and simple art design looks pretty good, though after a certain point so much stuff is on screen that it becomes a visual clutter. 

more polish and game juice would be nice. specially feedback when clicking, as at times i cant tell if my clicks were registering or not.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, the visual clutter was a problem that plagued me during development. I actually decreased it somewhat, but probably not enough for the later levels.
There's is audio feedback when successfully or unsuccessfully clicking, but it again gets lost. Having some visual indicator would've been good.
Thanks for checking it out!

I really like the design. A game where BPM is both dynamic and really matters to the gameplay (for your attack economy). The leveling and abilities are very neat and the gameplay seems properly balanced. The misclick draining all your progress is a bit too punishing imo. The art and audio are nice, but could’ve been a bit more polished for readability and gameplay feedback. Great work!

Developer

You should've seen the initial approach where misclicking sent you back to the previous level instead of just draining the current progress haha, didn't take me long to rework that. Totally agree on readability, later stages suffer from too much noise and clutter.

From the bottom of my heart, I think this game is amazing!!!

Developer

Thank you so much!

VERY addictive and fun. Only thing I can think of to improve it would be more visuals going along with the beat, but it's really good as is.

This game was super intuitive to play, it felt like a top down shooter fused with osu! The simple graphics paired very nicely with your coordinated palette swaps, and that added a lot of intensity paired with the music tempo. I had a ton of fun learning all the boons, my favorite right now is the Saving Grace, I loved the sound effect!

It was cool to see you using jsfxr, such a nice tool for making sound effects. Great work on this, you got a super cool mood set up!

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing! I had a ton of fun making the game, and by the end it felt like everything was fitting together nicely. The thematic tones were a last minute thing that I think really added to the overall mood.

This is great, love the changing color schemes. Really great combo of the beat and color themes

Submitted

Really like this one! Cool little idea, plenty of room for expansion. Sometimes I think the click feels weird as it's every second beat or something like that. Really like the minimal art and I think the way you show where the cursor is is genius

Submitted

bats were banished in an interesting and fun way! i LOVE it ;)

Submitted

Really nice gameplay -- took me a while to figure out the "on beat" mechanic but once you get the hang it's super satisfying

Submitted

I can really play this game for hours. It is addictive. I can proudly say that I finished it in 100+ seconds, but I want more. That's a great example of awesome game. For everyone who is into aim trainer or vampire survivors or particularly any rhythmic game - you should try this! 

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing, I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I only wish I had more time and energy to properly polish it, as I would've loved to add more upgrades and a ton more polish. I might expand on it in the future, so keep an eye out!

Submitted

Cool, cool, cool! Really addicting with nice roguelike elements

Submitted

I have run cool game and it is indeed cool XD

took a bit of time to learn when to click

maybe a visual cue would help to make it easier to understand XD

but after I've learned the game, I feel really powerful XD

Developer(+1)

I originally had a meter at the bottom similar to crypt of the necrodancer, but since I was working on the game so much I already knew when the beat was so I forgot to include a visual aid. You can sort of use the beating heart, but it's not at great indicator as you only know when it's already happened (so the window is halved).

Thanks for checking it out!

Very fun

Love it

A great mix between vampire survivors and a rythm game ! Love it and love the aesthetics

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Glad you liked it, Ithought it was an obvious mix waiting to happen
