This is a rhythm boss battle game. You have to defeat the beatemon using the powers of Albert and Zoe.
Controls :
Albert : Press "a" to attack the beatemon - you will hurt him only if you stay synchronized with it's beat. Let "a" released to parry the beatemon's attacks
Zoe : Press "z" in rhythm to cast helping spells on Albert
Press "esc" to pause.
This game was made using the haxeFlixel engine.
EDIT : - fixed the freezing bug on zoe's attack - add windows version
AS others mentioned, I also feel the bit was a little bit off, but overall very interesting game. I did thoroughly enjoy it and love how you stuck to the 2 button controls. Great Job!
For a rythm game, a little more work on the sound would have been welcome. Reminded me of one of our previous LD games : cable theory (http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-30/?action=preview&uid=10263) Have you tired it ? I liked the graphics and the mood, overall, but I found the rythm was a little difficult to follow. Had you had more time, I would have preferred a more rewarding ending as well...
Great pixel art. Couldn't quite figure out how to match the boss' beat alongside Zoe's mechanic. I found myself focusing on one or the other. Very cool idea though!
I really like the idea, but it's a bit unclear to see if the attack was successful or not and the way the boss reacts. If you can improve a bit on the feedback side you can have a very interesting entry.

But the idea is fun, and I would be better to this kind of game to test it truly.
