Truly a masterpiece. The rhythm driven gameplay, the awesome and satisfying sound effects, the retro inspired graphics and, the star of the show, the maginificent tune that fills the game, everything in Slave to the Rhythm makes me smile with satisfaction and makes me want to spend day and night playing it. This exquisite game brings a new take on the rhtyhm and “asteroids-like” games by combining both in a terrific experience. The simple mechanic is completely explored and ties it perfectly to the out of control genre, whilst working quasi perfectly.
The only negative elements I found in this game is that there is a almost imperceptible dyssynchrony between the ships actions and the music. Even though it barely made itself noticeable I found it a little hard to sync myself to the actions, making the game a just little harder to play (which is considerable in an already pretty challenging game). The other critique is that everything on display was too similar, making it somewhat confusing and hindering some of its light. Lastly, even though I enjoyed the flashing menus, it may present itself as a hindrance to some people.
Despite this small problems, this is deffinetely a 5/5 game. It is insanely fun to play and the challenge it presents is worth your time. And only to make me even more mesmerized, Mr. Beekeper achieved this level of quality in only 48 hours. Thank you for making this game and good job.
