How does your game fit the theme?
It's a bullet-hell game where the action is constantly interrupted by a musical countdown along to the beat of the music. When the countdown ends, you have to hit a cymbal on-time, rhythm-game style.

Pianists get behind me! I will protect you!!

I really like how the movement feels as you start to understand it better and try to time your arrival at the symbol with the exact moment you need to hit it.

This is absolutely awesome! I expected the guy with the stick to be a conductor just waving it in time to the music, but when the tomatoes started flying, I squealed with delight, it’s a total masterpiece how they combined *Fruit Ninja* and a rhythm game into one. It was super fun, great job!

You could add meta-progression, like purchasing new instruments, melodies, and skills and keep developing the project further, that would be interesting!

Developer

Very glad you enjoyed, ty for the kind words! Yeah it agree it would be pretty fun if you unlocked another cymbal / drum that you have to manage as well

very interesting interpretation of the theme! the only complaint i have is that it feels very unfair, you barely have time to reach some of the tomatoes (or the cymbal) because they spawn really far away and your movement speed is very low

overall, nice game!

Developer

Thanks v much! did you discover the dash? You can dash with Right mouse button or Spacebar, this bumps ur movement speed quite a lot

This is amazing!! Its hectic, satisfying, and rhythmic (obviously). Got through all five stages. I'm not sure I have too much feedback aside from it felt sometimes there was a misbalance between when there would be tomatoes verse when I would need to hit the cymbol.


I very much enjoyed this. Stellar submission.


Developer

Thanks so much!! Yeah I sort of ran out of time to polish the tomato timings, really glad you enjoyed though
