All I can say is wow! The music had my head bopping along the whole time, the timing of the sfx scratched an itch in the back of my mind and the visuals just fit the retro vibe perfectly.


Would love to see this as a full game! Literally my favourite game I've played so far in the jam!

This is a really cool concept, The UI animations are really cool. maybe it would have been cool to have more levels lol. Very creative entry though!

One regret .... too short !! Congrat it's a top tier entry.

Very good game, I love how it feels, and it's very entertaining. With a different setting, it could easily become an even more incredible game. Great job

I love rythim games to fricking much. This one made me very happy. The second boss's song slaps. I wish there was more levels to play!

Wow that was so so so very slick and well made!!! The art is so clear and easy to read and has so much style! The gameplay was so much fun, the beats you had to hit were not repetitive at all and kept me on my toes, each hit felt great!! The music was very catchy too, if you do end up adding more bosses someday we will definitely come back and play! Absolutely awesome job!! : ))))

big time rhythm heaven vibes coming from this! Super fun play through, good tracks too! I'll be sending this to my friends!

Oh boy, I love rhythm games, and this one is super fun! The timing window is fair, and I really like how the music continues and resets seamlessly even if you fail at any point. I do feel like the visual cue from the background somewhat takes away from the overall game, because it distracts from your beautiful animation in the foreground.

It's probably much harder to do, but if instead the cue can come from your boss animation, or somehow from the music it self (similar to rhythm heaven or melatonin), it would add a lot to the gameplay!

I also really like your transition screen, gonna have to steal that for my own games xD!

Overall I really loved the game. Amazing work!

Great art and fire music, love the bit where the second boss damages himself by messing up a combo

Super clean and polished rhythm game. The difficulty was perfect, and the story is interesting. Great use of the theme too, good game!

I enjoyed this game.

Really nice rythm game. The music was fire and the artstyle fit well with the whole concept. I had a strange thing happen where the final attack would just lose me the game before the time finished, but these things can easily get fixed if it is indeed an error.

Really funny, enjoyed the combination of rythm and clicking. Sometimes its hard to find the right spot to click.  The transitions, VFX, and the overall art style fit perfectly and appear very polished.

This was very enjoyable! I just missed some dificulty! The rhytm was so on point that I could play without looking, it's super nice!!! this game is great and I hope you keep working on it and adding more stuff to it!

Oh man this was so awesome. I really wish there was a level three with some crazy sequences. I truly enjoyed this entry! Lovely artstyle, rewarding gameplay, engaging dialogue, charismatic characters and of course, good music. Very well done (:

Wow! I love this artstyle so much! Also everything so smooth and responsive! Amazing game

Wow impressed by the rhythmic feel of it. It was kind of difficult for one button, you needed to be really accurate and precise. I would have to give it 4/5 its simple, but that rhythmic syncing is very cool. Great job!

the music goes hard and I have a crush on purple guy
