Except for the somewhat out-of-rhythm music, it's a great game.
the game won't launch on my system
Weird, did you download or are you playing in browser?
First I did the itch.io launcher then I tried Firefox then I tried vivaidi so technically i tried opening in 3 browsers I wanted to give your game a fair chance I think the problems probably on my end but I can't figure out what.
Hmm, I wish I could help more, but I don't know what the problem could be. I'm on chrome. Hopefully you find a way to play!
OK with you more trys, just to be fair. 🆒
Aesthetics are nice but quite noisy, it's difficult for my brain to determine what these objects are and whether or not touching them is bad.
The particular music choice does invoke desire for musical synchronicity.
Really quite difficult though.
Appreciate the comment, feedback is always great to get. The music sync is definitely my biggest feature I couldn't get to work in time.
I think you did a really great job with this, I'm just awful at it! Haha. It was very hard for me to get the timing down. But I can see maybe with some tweaks (or me sucking less) how this could be a really fun brain-teaser game! Good job ^^
Thanks for playing! I definitely tried to show off all the things you could do in a level quickly, so I think the difficulty is a bit too high.
Great game! The theme is really good - the timing is a little tricky to get right. Fun to play :)
I wanted to play around more with the timing and speed of shots but decided to put effort into other mechanics. Thanks for playing!
Really clever idea and the aesthetics are great. I agree with greg that the controls are a bit stiff, it does seem from the counter that it would work really well if it was synced to the music.
Overall, very cool :)
Thank you for the comment! I tried so hard to sync the music, shot, and timer, but I decided other things were more important because it was draining my time.
Really liked it and having the little cpu units(?) as extra collectables was also a really nice touch. I thought it was a bit difficult to tell exactly when the moving walls would reflect my projectiles and also the movement felt just a bit stiff. I really liked the level design though and thought the main mechanic was really nice. Also consider somehow locking the firing of the projectile to the beat of the music! (Though I know that's quite difficult hehe) That would make it much more intuitive I think. Nice job!
Thank you for playing! I tried for quite a bit to have the music synced up, but I just decided to work on other things because I could not figure it out.
