It was pretty tough keeping up with the beat and strategizing about how to position and where to attack especially when you loose the rhythm while surrounded. Other than that once i got the hang of it, i got to a score of 24 which is harder than it sounds. Overall i do like it, its quite fun, i like the style, tho i would make it a bit easier for the game jam because people are only gonna play it for 10 minutes or so and don't have time to get good :)

Hi! Thanks for your feedback and your support! It is my first true game so i dont really know how to scale the overall difficulty, so i really appreciate your feedback, it is really precious

Ye, it's really hard to get the difficulty right, especially for game jam games. I usually make my games too hard because i don't account for the fact that I know everything about the game and have been playing it for 4 days while testing it which makes me the best player in the world :) I found the trick is to try to get as many friends as you can to try playing and give you feedback.

Fun concept, the beat timing is a bit too tight for me but I liked it
