Two player rap battle! Stay on the beat! All three characters have a special move if you play well enough.
Controls: Player 1: a,s,d,f Player 2: j,k,l,;
Each key has an associated word. On your turn, you make an eight-word sentence with your four keys.
After making your eight words, control passes to the other player. They have to repeat the same word combination just before each word strikes their character. Every time they miss, they take damage.
Try to stay on the beat or on the half beat. Too many missed beats in your sentence and control passes to the other player.
On the beat? Your word is highlighted. Off the beat? It's not.
The better your sentence (on the beat, no mistakes), the more damage you do with each hit.
Very interesting idea, but a little hard to know what is going on - the gameplay mechanics are very complex and there's not much indication of what needs to be done. Also cool SFX!
Would've been much better with some visual feedback for when you are missing the beats, also with some in game tutorial. Other than that i like the concept :)
Nice idea, and great take on the theme. I like the graphical style a lot, too.
The beat matching was really unforgiving, I thought. I got better at it as I played, but at first I could have sworn I was dead on but it was still registering as a missed beat.
Hahaha, that was loads of fun, and I absolutely loved the theme and implementation! You've got all kinds of subtle cues in there that make it feel great when you get that first perfect. Really cool, I'd love to see it expanded into a full version outside LD!

Yeah nice entry, was confusing at first as you have to press just BEFORE the beat - but after that was pretty fun. Nice one!
I always like a rhythm game.
It's a bit hard though so maybe it should be a little more forgiving.
