That is Fantastic
Thank you very much! :)
Visuals look great, game is fun and challenging but I felt the need to move off beat which felt unsatisfying. Something I'd love to see is a quick way to retry instead using the mouse to click 'main menu' and then click 'play' just press space again to retry.
Thank you for the feedback.
That's a great idea, and we will definitely implement it!
Awesome graphics and music, and the gameplay is also very challenging! The player's movement reaction is a bit slow I must say, which makes it kinda hard to move according to rhythm and instead making you just smash the space bar to move straight at some parts lol. But still a cool game, well done!
Thanks for the feedback!
It was pretty challenging to tweak the movement because snappier movement also resulted in hitting the ceiling/floor super fast. But we will take another look at it after the rating process. :)
Visuals and concept were amazing, love that retro feel. For some reason my brain just can't press a single button for 2 different directions - especially with the speed of the game. I found myself hammering the spacebar to often in an attempt to get out of trouble. So I think if I could press UP and DOWN to the rhythm I'd find this game a little easier to play. Excellent job though. =)
Thank you for playing our game and for the great feedback! I do think changing the input method will make it more fun to play :)
Nice game! Music is catchy and visuals are cool. I like how you made it an incentive to tap in rhythm but with no hard punishment if you don't. I managed to get to 20k+ !
Thanks for playing our game and the nice feedback! :)
Hi!
Visually a stunning game! It hits exactly this kind of retro-arcade vibe. The music does it's part in that as well.
The concept is simple and reminds me a little bit of the rocket parts in geometry dash :D
However, I think hitting the beats is pretty hard. Even though I think hit space whenever the screen beats I still drift of to the sides. So I actually need to go off beat to stay in the center of the screen.
So it didn't feel as satisfying as it could have. At least to me, maybe I just have a bad feeling of rhythm :D
But apart from that great game!
Thank you so much for playing our game and leaving a comment!
You are supposed to go off beat (or at least skip one) if you drift off. That really is a bit unsatisfying. Maybe with a custom track and custom made level to that it would have been better! :)
