damn this was amazing! The music idea is great and is such a smart take on the theme!

Such a cool concept. I like the visuals as well, but too bad there aren't more animations. The only thing that really feels iffy is not being able to aim upwards. I know it's a design choice that serves the puzzles, but I'd still love the combat to be less rigid (and a bit weird when you have a few enemies on a layer above that can't hurt you). 

Overall, great entry, congrats! :)

The idea is simply amazing! And the execution tops it off. Great entry, I had a lot of fun playing.

Submitted

I am pretty out of beat but once you practice it feels so satisfying ahaha.

Love the idea that put attacks and even jump action into the loop! The Art is stunning too!

Submitted

yea ok this ended up being one of my favorites actually

Submitted

Reeeeeeally enjoyed this game, incredible mechanic that is even expandable in so many cool ways, did get a bit lost at times lol, but had a lot of fun

Submitted

Fun combination of rythmn game and DOOM. I would just like to look up and down, I know that is part of the level design but still I always try to look up and down :D

Submitted

As a fan of Crypt of the Necrodancer and DOOM, I loved this. I only wish it was even longer.

Submitted

:)))))))))))))))))))))

Finally First Person Necrodancer. I like the metronome in hand, so goofy

I LOVE IT, FULL GAME PLEASE

This is so creative, I want more abilities, you can look at Eldritch on Steam for inspiration, has some cool spells (I think)

Absolute cinema, sincerely, Manonox

Loved this, especially the retro-pixely artstyle, it looked great! Also really like these BPM-style games.

Staying on rhythm was maybe a bit too punishing, I found I struggled with it more than in games like BPM or Metal: Hellsinger

Other than that I thought it was great, and played through to the end :D

Really loved playing this game! Had a fun time, The art style and mixed with the beats mechanics is really cool.

Submitted

Love the retro style similar to the classic Doom, the bad thing I can say about the gameplay is that shooting is a little bit painfull when you need to wait to much time to shoot.

Great game! It's like if Doom and Crypt of the NecroDancer had a child that wanted to be a wizard. Very fun concept!

Submitted(+1)

That was great! Love the art style and the fusion of doom style combat with a bpm/hellsinger rhythm system. If you choose to extend this, adding in a system where staying on the beat gives you bonuses would fit pretty well!

Submitted

The game is a banger ! Loved the rythm and the interactions, 10/10 gameplay

Submitted

this was wonderful!! the best feeling was doing the rhythmic jumps and dashes, it was very satisfying. reminded me of crypt of the necrodancer, but it felt so good being able to traverse the space in 1st person here. was boppin my head the entire time :)) the only real feedback i have is to expand it into a larger game, that would be awesome!!
