Really nicely done take on the survivors-like genre with music! You did a great job of visually representing the looping system and it was clear how my choices affected the music. I played in the browser, which worked well, but the syncing could probably be tighter (which is no easy task!). Stylish and fun, nice job!
Thank you for the nice feedback! We had some ideas for how to fix the syncing and music-pausing issues, but didn't have time to implement them during the jam. :)
The loop music system is so cool ! The game is super addictive and I had a lot of fun, congratulation :D
Loving all the loop machine music games! Performance issues affected the syncing of the loop with the music and sound effects broke quite quickly
Very cool, I like the idea of having to place my attacks in different directions. I just missed some feedback on when I got hit and when picking up XP. But other than that it's very polished - well done!
Awesome game. Musical Vampire Survivors ;)
This was so original, I went all in without watching the tutorial and even then got the premise completely, very unique take and very fun game, I agree that the power up screen does need some music as it has been commented.
vampire survivors and crypt of the necrodancer had some wild fun together uh?
Had a ton of fun playing this, it's well made and the habilities compliment eachother in a very satisfying way. Great job!
Great design. Good beats. I agree with other comments that the power up screen needs some music; hopefully you can come up with some solution. Its a shame to get into the music and then have it stop
After i found out, that you could move, it was a very cool game!
Really fun game. Took me a while to understand that I could move around. Which made me think that the game could maybe be even more strategic if you had to be stationary. Great take on the Survivors genre!
Great game! kind of slow paced but it gets much more fun the more you play it :)
An original take on the vampire survivors type game that I haven't seen before. It took me about two level ups to understand how the ability/attack system worked. Is there a reason why you decided to pause the music when you were in the lability selector? I found that the abrupt silence kinda took me out of it.
Thank you for playing the game and I'm happy you enjoyed it!
We decided to pause the music, since the attack are synced to the beat and bars of the song playing. If we didn't pause it, we would either have to reset the song when it continues playing or make the player wait up to 16 beats until the music is back "where it's supposed to be". We decided the easiest choice for the jam was to simply pause the music. :)
I figured it was something like that. Fair enough you did great for the Jam!
rip my browser lol, got pretty close to crashing with all the objects on the screen. great music, graphics and gameplay!
We had similar games! Really liked yours, definitely my favorite I've played yet!
I like how the attacks complement each other, I also like the different audio that each attack plays, especially the ice wave that goes really well with the synthwave music! The only issue I had was the upgrade screen blocking the player movement/audio, especially while passing through a debris of points. It would be nice to do something like diep.io, other than that really fun game with an interesting spin on the theme!
Cool and very unique concept! I like the music a lot :D
I enjoy this a lot. Music games always interested me but I am not the type of guy to be smashing arrow keys to the beat. So this is a really nice change.
AMAZING music and audio work, love the spin on the survivors like genre too. Can't believe you guys pulled this off in 4 days! Well done!
This is fantastic!!! Such an incredible spin on the vampire survivors type game. I've only played a little bit but gonna play some more to see if it takes longer to gain skills because I just want to enjoy the beat I create for longer before adding more to it haha. Really really well done, I can easily see this entry making it into the GMTK review video, super super cool
woahhh!! really cool music game. so fun, an absolute vibe. a rhythm bullet hell works so well, i had a great time building up a strategy and it really feels like im moving tactically to the rhythm. amazing job!
