Fun game! I definitely am not built for rhythm games seeing how i did on this game, but it was really fun nonetheless! The higher bpm songs were a great way to increase difficulty alongside introducing the bug blast, and I just enjoyed the game overall!

i think im to unmusical for this game. couldnt get past the first enemy, kept messing up the timing.
but looks like a cool concept
This was definitely a challenge but so adorable and so much fun to play!! I think if there had been letters / reminders on which buttons to press for each action that would have been helpful. I kept forgetting which keys I needed to press, and when! I made a super rough mockup of what I mean - not that you'd have to do this exactly - but just to give you a general idea.
That said, I really enjoyed Bug Beat & feel inspired by this game to try and make a rhythm game of my own at some point :D
This was fun! I'm always a fan of rhythm games and this was well done. I like the callback to Patapon (if that was the intention).
I believe I won't be a musician but solid gameplay,
I love rythm games; this one is super hard tho, I struggled a lot to hit the first beat, i believe it is getting turned off to fast after the enemy turn, I loved the game tho, super fun!
I got massively skill issued by this game (the music finished before I managed to hit the first enemy more than once xd) I feel something about either the visual or audio indication was off, I very consistently hit the offbeats instead of the actual ones
Neat concept, I personally cant keep a beat, so I struggled with this.
Very nice idea, it's a bit difficult to understand the pattern I have to play but good job ! :)
