Great game, very impressed with execution, music, and visual style. Movement system felt a little off at times, It might be better that if the player is holding a movement key it would start moving them while stopped
really beautyfull art
Dang, visualwise it's already really appealing but the gameplay is really original and fun.
Creative idea, though the beat is too slow, I literally did a rage quit on tutorial level on the first spike pit xD
Really cool idea and graphics, but the infrequency of beats led to a lot of frustration for me. Cool stuff!
great job! funny and beautiful game!
This is excellent!
I think this game would need a higher BPM for the music so you can make inputs more often, also the levels often doesnt quite fall in line with the beat, so you have to wait half or whole beats before you can continue
This is a great concept! Its a very nice idea to tie in the theme to a rhythm runner. The particles and art style are really cool.
Interesting game! I like it, but I think there's one problem holding it back: there's no feedback (that I noticed) if you mistime your inputs. Even though I know it isn't the case, it often feels like the game just isn't acknowledging my input, instead of me just having messed it up. Adding something like camera shake and an audio cue every time the player pressed a button at the wrong time would make the game feel way more responsive, and less frustrating too.
I'd also add additional feedback for other things, like when input *is* allowed. Maybe changing the color of the bottom middle reticle, and scaling it up a bit when a dot is inside of it? Stuff like that can go a really long way into making a game feel good to handle.
Other than that, the visuals are nice and interesting. The music is pretty solid too, especially for 48 hours. Good stuff :)
