Very fun rythm game! I really want to see more song or an editor where you can map your other musics (like freedom dive xD). Well done !!

This is a really, amazingly cool game! It took me a while to figure out, so some kind of tutorial or help screen would be greatly beneficial, but once I got the hang of it, I couldn't stop playing! This is probably the only really fun rhythm game I've ever seen come out of a game jam, so great job not only getting the gameplay to feel really good, but also nailing the retro 80s aesthetic! I'd love to see more maps, beats, and there might even be a way to generate the map given a song! Anyway, I'm excited to see where this goes.

Easily one of the coolest games I've played, everything about this is so good. It's actually pretty hard to move your mouse around to get the kind of movement I was looking for, but when it worked it worked so well. I would love to see more of this!

Uhmm maybe have a tutorial? I tried so many times, but couldn't figure out how to play it. The game looked really pretty though

Man I loved that! You gotta add some more levels when the rating phase is over :D

If there's a six in presentation, you get the six.

Even the powerups are tied to an instrument. Nice Job!

This is probably the best shoot-to-move game I've seen this jam! Really clever and unconventional twist that I felt was restricting at first but once I got into the beat it became really satisfying blasting that wall! Great job!

Super cool twist on "shoot-to-move"! Really enjoyed it.

This game is very cool! I enjoyed it, but it needs a tutorial. Overall, good job! rated! please check out my game too :D

So I admit this took me far far longer to figure out than it should have.

But I absolutely loved it once I did.

It works just insanely flawlessly (it will probably be even more amazing if the player has a vague sense of rythym ) :D    I can not wait to see what you do you with this, but you must do something with it.   Way to good to let go.    I would recommend a tutorial of some sort to intro the player and go from there.

Wow this game is really good. Other than the problem with leaving the screen to never return, I don't have much to criticise. Really nice work.

I really like the idea and execution of this game . However it is really easy to fall of the side of the screen, and once you are there you cannot recover. I thing having the edges be solid or even bouncy would make this game fantastic.

In addition, the controls aren't really explained and take a little figuring out.

Please make a full game out of this! I really enjoyed it and would pay money for a version with a couple dozen songs, or user submitted ones.

So juicy and great! Excellent feedback on attacks, and I loved the retro synthwave aesthetic throughout. I see what you mean about us having similar ideas. Well done!

Submitted(+1)

A really creative and neat game, very well presented. It could do with a tiny bit of explanation, but after my second failed attempt I finally realised that all actions are done in the direction of the mouse.

Submitted(+1)

This is a really cool idea! The music and art style are fantastic, and the gameplay has a really good kinetic feeling to it. It would be nice if there was a more explicit tutorial though. This would be really good as a full game!

This game is awesome! Visuals are great, and the music is satisfying to listen to. The controls were confusing at first, but didn't take much for them to click. Really fun to play, and a super cool idea. Great job!

Such a good idea, gameplay is really good and sounds good too, maybe the theme is missing a little bit
