I liked the idea, naturally, since mine was pretty similar. The bar with the incoming notes was clear and was able to pay attention to both that and the dancefloor. I think, maybe your version could benefit from the enemy spawns not being randomized because it was really disappointing when the lasers went finally crazy, but the dancefloor was empty. Without reading the description, I didn’t realize that I actually have to kill the DJ and didn’t realize any shields going down so maybe it could be more eye catching. Also, after a while the notes/shoots were out of sync with the music for some reason.
you didnt submit it for mini jam: neon? It has really fun gameplay.
edit: you even created the music, WOW
Thanks alot!
Music, look, and feel all fit well and made this a coherent experience. With fun gameplay.
One thing that stood out to me were the colored spotlights. I only noticed them after a minute or so, but even before that I noticed that I had an easier time spotting enemies than I would've expected with all the colors everywhere. Your spotlights drew my attention without me even realizing it. That was really impressive.
There's a few things that would've improved my experience as well:
But that's probably a bit more 'suggestion' than 'criticism'. For a 48h jam this was amazing. Don't think I had this much fun with a rhythm game since Necrodancer (don't tell my team I said that lol)
Thanks for such detailed feedback! Definitely all things we will take into consideration for next time!
Great aesthetic that ties in to the gameplay, art, and music! Unforunately this game really lagged for unknown reasons on my computer.
Was that a Missy Elliot reference? If so, I loved it!
Nice take on the jam's theme!
Wow, this is very unique and fun, thanks for making this !
This was such a great idea and it was so well executed, seriously. The art work is fantastic too, great job boys!!

Nice sound effects XD
Hehehe... 😅
looks and sounds cool ^^ Would have been nice when differently colored beams actually behaved differently.
Nice concept! I like the rhythm based design as it gives great game feel!
Great concept! I do agree with osiris26 on the visuals for the DJ, I didn't even realize he could possibly take damage.
Whoa, we got similar idea, but I like that you push more into the music and rhythm.
mechanics took a moment but was pretty enjoyable, the only thing was when the DJ's barrier first went down I didn't notice whatsoever. after the first time it was fine but maybe more of a eye-catching visual clue would help
It was cool to blast enemies to the beat. I also liked the musik and presentation.
Thanks a lot, Elias!
I took a second to get a feel for the mechanic, but after that it was great fun! love the art and music, as well - all comes together nicely. Good job! :D
Fun stuff, nice job!
Very fun concept! Good execution and funny art!
This one's a lot of fun! :D Really enjoyed the concept
