Tactical rhytm game?! Count me in! 

Btw, there is IndexOutOfBounds error there, but you probably know that :)

Had quite some fun figuring out the best strategy to win ! Could see myself playing a game like that with more content

Really enjoyed this one, the art, music and concept are there. I think there could have been a bit more of a tutorial or explanation at the start of the game, as currently it tosses you in pretty blind. Once I figured it all out it was really fun. I could totally see this as a full fledged game with some more work done to it.

Overall: ★★★★

Nice game but needed more time than 4 days

Creativity ★★★★★

The idea is great, theme fits perfectly and not the obvious way, love that you tried to handle semi-turn based battles + rhythm game, but it feels to me 4 days isn't enough time for polish such genre needs

Enjoyment★★★★

While I love the concept and see the potential for me it felt too prototypy to fully enjoy. Nor tactic nor rhythm aspect fully shines sadly and they also feel glued together not being a part of the same loop. I would probably tweak and enrich the core a little bit forward, for example introducing octaves with special effect, so that listening and understanding sound part is required for a success. Giving it strong 3/5 of enjoyment + bonus ★ for the enjoyment I got thinking of how great this game could become given enough time:D 

Narrative ☆☆☆☆☆

Not rating it here

Artwork ★★★★☆

Great art, flame guy felt a bit out of place for this game but other than that good job!

Audio ★★★☆☆

To a game that sells itself as music game I have a higher standard:D While SFXs are great I think they need much more time to be tuned precisely, right now it feels like a fun idea not a core mechanic

Really well executed. Got the hang of it pretty well. I did feel like I would get a ton of character cards and very few movement cards. So I would often just end up killing my own units or just waiting for cards.

Really cool game ! Would love to see a full version of this.

Unfortunately the game crashed out of nowhere when i was playing,

but overall, very cool artstyle and concept ! <3

I couldn't understand the logic of the game because I had never played a game like this before.

I really enjoyed the sound and visuals, very high quality. I didn't really understand the point of the defender unit, but maybe I didn't spend enough time with the game

Submitted

Hey this is really fun! I love the concept I think it has great potential to grow into a deeper game!

Played it a few times. Made some sick beats. Without trying! Dope concept. Would like to see this fleshed out a bit more 

Developer

glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for playing! it’s a small world, I remember your booth at a past GDEX, so your praise means a lot <3

Took me a few tries to figure out how to play but was interesting once I got it down. I wasn't able to get to the end because it seems like the game crashes sometimes when an enemy despawns

Great artwork! The gameplay is kinda messy at the start but I got the hang of the loop very quickly.

Extremely creative idea! There's a decent amount of narrative being told in the designs of the game which is really nice. I just wish the environment would give a bit more of that story telling as well. Audio was nice given the intention if there was any way to make them sound a bit smoother that'd be great!
