How does your game fit the theme?
You create a loop of magical powers using enchanted cassettes, casting spells on the beat of the music.

The Guilloteam
Very fun, and a dazzling amount of polish.
It's very interesting seeing the different takes on the beat loop genre and how the little changes radically affect the game feel.
I really liked the augment cassettes especially, as one big problem we encountered was we couldn't find a good reason to have rest notes in later levels.
Great Job!
A really really really good game !!! I realy liked it. Even if i build round 1 an op build x) The soundtrack is really nice and i vibed a lot with the game !
So polished and clean! Love the art and character designs, definitely makes sense that two of the three team members are credited as artists. The game loop is also the perfect difficulty, never got bored with the new types of tapes but never felt too overwhelmed. My only critique is that of many games of this type, where the enemy AI is so simple that it is easy to maneuver around them in a big circle as they predictably follow the player with no variation. I think for a game this short it's really not a big deal, but for replay value and challenge I think some added randomness to the enemy movement would make it more fun. Awesome job!
Wow, one of my favorites for sure! The level of polish is unbelievable! I am amazed you made such a game in just 4 days. The art-style and music are wonderful. Really cool idea with perfect execution!
YES YES YES YES, I replayed the game twice it was so fun so plished and a very unique Iidea when it comes to loop, the only feedback I can give u is please make more content. :'( Really had a lot of fun !
This is such a cool concept! I really liked how the idea was implemented! Plus, it has a cool visual style and great music. A wonderful game!
Really well made and great style. As others have pointed out, everything feels really cohesive with all the UI elements moving the beat and such. Fun theme and great artwork, maybe the music could have been a bit more present and with some more time it'd be nice to have more musical sound effects for the spell cassettes.
I really love the core idea as well, having to balance how many power ups vs. how many offesive abilities, picking which things go first so you can sequence fire into disco balls or make sure that your most powerful spell sticks on screen for long enough etc. It's really smart, well done!
For those wondering how to create juice for your jam builds this is a prime example of how a few systems can be combined to create something truly spectacular. Paying attention to how the sprites move subtlety, the sync of the UI element bounces, and the organic design of some elements against the slanted "cool" style of UI elements makes everything feel incredibly polished.
It would be cool to swap out soundtracks for difficulty modes, such as a faster paced beat to do more damage but face more enemies.
Based on the name I expected a game akin to Crypt of the NecroDancer, but I was nicely surprised with a Vampire Survivors-like! The game feels great - the controls are smooth, the graphics are nice, and the music is excellent. Just overall a great experience. One minor thing that could be improved is the balancing - I felt like I got a pretty strong build by the second wave already and the enemies weren't much of a threat, but I might've just been lucky! :D
Great job!
really really fun. i love how the powers can synergize off of each other, gives it a lot of depth! i love how everything is on the beat, i love how the enemies bounce to the music! could add more movement abilities, potentially? anyway, freaking well done!
This is an amazing game. Great central mechanic, beautiful visuals, and FUN. Awesome work.
One of the best if not the best game I have played this jam!
I absolutely loved every second this.
Only thing I could honestly suggest is just more particle effects maybe feedback (like camera shake). But even then I feel like if you had more time for it you would have had them.
Amazing job, I hope there is a full release version after the jam.
