Info:

Hit the Notes to get the Highest Score possible, while your Player slays all the Monsters in your way. If you miss 4 Notes the Adventurer looses a Heart. Be aware of your accuracy or he might succumb to your own inaccuracy

Highscore System and Song Select:

The Scores Button in the Menu brings you to a Page where you can see all the songs and your current High score as well as a Drop down Song Select. Which will change the song that is playing. Songs with more possible points --> higher difficulty.

This is a fun game! I think the controls work neatly and you are given good time to input each direction. The difficulty progression is scaled very well and the visuals work effectively!

Thanks a lot :D

It's a pretty cool game, I think there should be a penalty for pressing the wrong button though. You can just press all 5 buttons at the same time and beat all the levels perfectly fine.

Yeah I've thought about implementing it, but how the whole code/game is structured now sadly didn't work anymore especially in the time limit. Nevertheless thanks a lot for your feedback.

really cool, how you managed to make a whole rhythm game in just a game jam! my problem was how it getting the notes right lacked some kind of satisfying feedback, like a screen shake or small sound cue. i really appreciate the polish and how you added different sprites coming towards you with the beat and how the interface has the kenney assets all around it. nice work!

Thanks a lot for your nice feedback and implementing screen shake and some particles would have definitely been a good idea.

I liked the idea of this one. My Big problem is that my inputs felt very disconnected from the actions on screen.

Thanks a lot of the feedback. I'll see that I can somehow tweak it to feel more connected. :D

Really fun little game! Was hoping someone would make a rhythm game.

Its a shame the inputs aren't super well synced, but I suppose that's not something particularly viable with the time limit of a game jam.

Other than that my only real suggestion is to move the song select to the main menu or mention it in the description - because it took me a few minutes to figure out how to change songs.

Thanks for your feedback and I'll definitely add it in the description.
