Concept is creative and it immediately made me interested when I read it
Gameplay is nice but having an SMG kinda defeats the whole purpose of the rhythm thing. Also wish you could sprint
Lighting and enemy animations could be better
Menu music sounds good
Overall good game nice work ^^

The lighting was a stylistic choice, to try and echo those old-school Doom 3 and F.E.A.R. harsh shading models, and the animations were also made to sync to the beat by hand as I couldn't easily modify existing files to hit the mark - with more time, they'd definitely be more polished, though they're certainly the two rougher aspects of the game.
The SMG is something a lot of people have mentioned - and while it fills the rounded-out role of a crowd cleaner, it's probably going to be retooled into a burst fire weapon of some kind, to keep the necessity of clicking in-time still to really drive that energy.
The two composers absolutely cooked with the tracks they made, for sure. I'm glad you had fun with this lil four-day project in spite of it's rough edges, and thank you for playing!
