Very nice. Couldn't figure out the correct rhythm though > _ > I suppose the little arrow in the left part is supposed to be the hint, but … Trying to synchronise my key press with the arrow moving / the monster pulsing almost never worked, always got 'bad'. I just had a run where I lasted until the second level, got a couple of perfects, but I can't really say I felt it was with the rhythm of the song. Maybe add a visual tutorial, to make sure I know which sound cues to respond to? :/ It's a very well polished game, and it makes me sad that I can't figure out the timings. I like DDR games and the like.
Damn, that pixel art is beautifull. Very cool game, kinda hard to move in sync to the beat, but it was pretty fun :P I got to the end but my bar wasn't full. Does it have a better ending when I fill the bar?
1st Thought: "What the hell am I doing that is Good, Bad, and Perfect?...and why?"
Pros: Art and music, hands down. Great job on both. Solid mechanics, animations looked nice.
Cons: Other than the obvious "Press S over the people/ things" I had no idea what I was doing. I couldn't tell if I was being hit when attacked, or if the goal was to survive the wave? It was very unclear.
Overall: If things were made more clear, I feel like this game would be a smashing success.
Fricking love this game, one of my favourites I've played this jam! The music, the graphics the gameplay everything was just top notch. I'm totally getting that soundtrack, amazing.
This game is very well done for such a short time period of work. This could quite easily be developed into a full game and I hope you continue to show this game some love! :D
"euske says ... Aug 26, 2015 @ 3:36pm Pretty well made, but I don't know what to do after the music is changed. The spaceship disappeared and enemies keep appearing but I had no control."
Really nice work! Solid graphics audio and game mechanics. Except I didn't really feel punished for making mistakes and I didn't die even tho I got shot probably 20 times, could be a bit more of a challange :)
Art was awesome! But the rhythm part feels unnecessary. You can have the delay so players are more careful of their action, but the rhythm is just distracting.
It really reminded me of Crypto of the Necrodancer. :)
There two thing that I found really weird: 1 - There seemed to be no penalty for standing still; 2 - Both attacking and shielding had very long animations, that could take more than a beat. This made it somewhat weird to try to attack repetitively.
I also found the shield to be pretty useless... I don't know if the space-beam could be shielded, but since they were avoidable, I preferred to avoid taking risks... At least the enemies didn't seem to hurt me... (maybe it simply lacks feedback)
Great graphics and audio! The audio also sync'ed pretty well with all animations, which helped with the rhythm game feel. :)
Excellent sprite work. Pretty addicting once you get into the groove and the rules/enemy patterns are intuitive enough to learn as you play. Great work!
Really nice rythm game, the graphics are really nice and the animations pretty spot on. I can't help myself but compare it to Crypt of the Necrodancer with the movement of the enemies. The difficulty goes out of control in the last levels but it doesn't feel punishing. Great game!
The game's visuals are phenomenal and the music is as well. The take on the theme was very inventive and the gameplay was cool. I think a sort of tutorial on the game's mechanics would have been useful. That's really the only issue I have, other than that - brilliant entry!
Wow, these graphics are amazing, spectacular animations! Rhythm games are hard to do, especially with all the complexities surrounding synchronization. Great job with this, though. Reminded me of Crypt of the Necrodancer :)
Ahhh...I get it...Monster 'Disco'...hehehe At first I just thought the controls were wonky...then it dawned on me and I began rhythm bouncing in my chair as I tongue whipped the enemies. AWESOME!
I'm not very familiar with musical games and have difficulty to know what I have to do. Maybe, with a tutorial and more feedback about my actions (bad or good) I could handle it.
Nice graphics and sound, I want to retry and master it.
The graphics are great, but the gameplay in this feels almost non existent.
I intentionally tried to do everything wrong and there were no consequences. This makes the rythm element of it pretty much non existant. It feels completely arbitrary when I get perfect or bad. There must be something I'm missing. Please update the description to give some idea of what the arrow means, how things affect you, or what to do.
This seems like a great concept, but the execution is lacking.
Nice combination of rhythm gameplay with the monster theme! I felt the rhythm timings were really punishing, and almost seemed to vary throughout my playtime? Also I couldn't tell if there was anything wrong with missing a beat. Love the art style though, excellent presentation overall. Great work!
Nice! Cool concept and the graphics and music are great. Timing felt a bit weird though, there were a lot of times where I felt like I was hitting exactly on the beat but was still getting bads. Would be cool if there was more gameplay variety too, seemed like there was no reason to use the shield (plus it was hard to tell when the guys were shooting since they were so small). Would love to see this expanded. Great job!
When I ate people on the beat and saw my rhythm was Good, I felt AMAZED! When I didn't know which key to press or didn't know that every time I move it is marked Bad, I felt confused.
Nice-lookong, but I quit on the third level, because get bored. I don't get why missing the beat does nothing? Because I can just constantly press button and it'll work okay for me. Also how to die here? THey were shooting on me, but nothing happened!

Love visuals as well as sounds.
Good job guys.

Does it have a better ending when I fill the bar?"
Maybe in post-jam version

It's mean you die =\
Everything about the game, including audio, graphics, and gameplay was just extremely well done.

the music, the graphics, the rythm! nice combination and fun to play actually!
Also the animation were top notch!
well done!
