I’m so glad you posted the soundtrack because I’ve had these songs in my head all weekend. Truly great work!

This game is truly an artistic masterpiece! The art is gorgeous and I'm still humming the tunes a full week later! I can't believe its a game jam game!
I'm absolute trash at rhythm games so thanks for taking out the penalty for mashing the buttons! It let me experience your amazing game fully. Seriously, this was such a unique experience and the fact you made all this in a month is stunning. Thanks for sharing it with us!!
Two last points: I know you said you weren't hot on the Zaggadash fight but I appreciated it! On the other hand, I think you did my boy Aldius dirty. He's just an innocent, lovely old man!
The art, music and the take on the story and characters were just wild. Really amazing work! I have to admit though I just couldn't adjust to the control layout. I really wanted to see what came next so I ended up spamming my way through a few levels! Also I might've missed it, but instructions for using the down cursor and f key for drum/bomb would've been super useful before I happened to see them in tooltips.
Amazing work though. That art style feels so unique.
That is really helpful criticism, thank you! I'm happy to hear you found it interesting enough to push through.
Edit: You didn't miss it, I think, but the only tooltip you get early on is the one about the down arrow key. Later on it'll get mixed in with other tips. I personally prefer the mouse + manual bomb clicking, so went with that as the default.
THE ART. It’s like I’m looking at something from a old master then to make a rhythm game?! Just absolutely bonkers and wonderful.
Steel Love Z Hard Bangers:
A stunning showcase of artistic prowess and wit.
I was arrested, overwhelmed, ATTACKED by these lavish backgrounds.
It was so commanding a presentation that I allowed myself to be taken
into that world of grainy haze and daze off unto city heights. A
masterly stroke.
The musical component of the game provided ample service to it's
touchstone scenes, a light emphasis on the dramatic tension brewing
beneath strained speech, or stirring silence between each measured shot.
Needless to say, I was ZETA impressed.
The music is great! It's cool to see a rhythm game. Unfortunately I'm trash at them lol.
