I think other people mentioned it, but I do wish the beats were more aligned to the music. Felt more like a visual test than a rhythm game because of it. But I like the theme and the stress of enemies eating away at your heart while you have to focus on the song. With some polish, could be a fun game!

I didn't manage to win this game. I just lost every time after a few seconds -> even if i hitted the heartbeat to every one of the incoming pulses from left or right. Do I missunderstood something? Should I press to the beat more than the incoming heartbeats?

But I like the idea, and fits the theme very well :)

ow, this game is hard – but great work!

You nailed the theme and the game has potential! Right now it is just a little too hard for me to stay on rythm

Developer

Thanks for playing! The beats are a little off sync which is probably why you find it hard

Seemed like the beats were totally seperate from the music, but nailed themewise.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

The audio syncing is definitely annoying. The charting was pretty difficult for me.

The web version was easier :p

PC version played, but the notes was a bit out of sync.

The concept could be fun with the right implementation. Tightness in the notes is pretty important in rhytmic games.

But audio sync is difficult, i know :)

Developer

Thanks for downloading and checking it out!

I agree that the audio sync sucked. I just spammed keys randomly to make the beat charts.

I won instantly. Nice game :)

Crazy skills. That's just the bug in the web build tho :)

Managed to play it on windows

Fun beat XD

I don't really understand why sometimes the monsters didn't get removed after doing a correct beat?

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!
All the monsters have different health's which change throughout the game. That's why it takes 2 or more correct beats to get rid of some of the monsters.

You already wrote that the game doesn't work in web. I downloaded and tried it, though! Unfortunately I did not know what I need to do... you wrote that the 'correct' arrow key needs to be pressed, however, for me no arrow key was shown and I then lost and just got frustrated. Still, the theme fits perfectly as well as the colors! The gameplay and fun sadly are not that well.

Thanks for downloading! It is mentioned in the controls, that you need to press right arrow key for beats coming from the right and left arrow key for beats coming from the left on time.

I probably should have mentioned or showed this in the game too to make it more evident.

Ah, sorry. Then I misread!
