How to play

Click on red circles in the beat and kill enemies.

P.S.

Did not have time to do the things. So this game is so unfinished.

Liked your genre combination and theme. Its a shame its not finished.

Took me a bit to figure out that I should click on the red circles to move when they pop up - at first I figured it was WASD. Nice music and the head-bob is a nice tough. Definitely potential here.

I like the concept, could see this expanding. Unfortunate that it's not finished.. I'm wondering if that's why level 2 you can't move the characters? Anyways, nice job!

Nice music, good setting and beautiful graphics. Very cool what you did with the theme.

Great combination of genres! Gameplay is slow a bit, would be cool to have more energized music.

@borodar thanks! "More energized music" I wanted to do on the next levels)

I like the concept. That was cool! Player can't move after restart, but well, our game also has bugs :D Music was nice. Keep doing the good job!

Pretty Cool! Too bad unfinished. it is number game ya? more legionaire means you win against lesser babarian. I thought it was attack and defense on the beat. One time i cant get the legionnaire to move. Overall pretty decent, although unfinish.

Great little game. The head bob is awesome

Fun concept. Love the graphical style. Music sounds nice. I'm curious if you tried different timings for the input. I'd like to see how a level might play with a more frantic pace.

@justalocalhero I also liked this concept and will do a full game on mobile. Subscribe to my Twitter and watch the news. I assure "a more frantic pace" there will be exact😎

:D I love the pixel heads bobbing to the rhythm. I very much like the art style. The music suits the game. With a bit of gameplay polish, and more rhythmic moves variety, this could be a really fun thing!

i like the idea but the gameplay is a bit too slow.. doesnt really feel like a rhythm game because of it.. would have been good if it could have like a circle around the red dots so you'd have to hit it when it reached it like most rhythm games do- thats only a suggestion though

Задумка интересная, но видно, что времени отработать идею было мало.

Очень хочется видеть наглядно, а не только по музыке, когда приближается момент действия. И в первую же игру мне выставили одного солдата против троих врагов, так реально победить? :)

@hatchet, thanks for your feedback!
@le-american, "a circle around the red dots so you’d have to hit it when it reached it" - this is nice suggestion, I will try to implement it in my game, thank you =)
@Royoyo, "Очень хочется видеть наглядно, а не только по музыке, когда приближается момент действия" - ну вот эту штуку буду так решать "a circle around the red dots so you’d have to hit it when it reached it" скорее всего, я просто в ритм игры не играю и не знаю какие там фишки есть) А насчёт баланса - его там нет, но спасибо за отзыв! Фух, хоть на русском поговорить, а то я устал в переводчик лазить 😄

Very dramatic music - fits game perfectly. Rhythm game mixed with turn based strategy - this is awesome combo. Pixel art Just perfect

Very interesting idea. At first i didn't know how to play the game and then i saw ErikU's comment. Even tho it is a bit unfinished i enjoyed playing it.

wow Brilliant idea! i was bounced my body while i was playing this. great art and mood. everything is great! well done

Задумка интересная, понравились пиксели и сеттинг! Немного не хватает тактики какой-то, потому что даже двумя солдатами победить толпу не получилось( было бы прикольно, если например в музыке есть какой-то момент, когда два бита идут быстро друг за другом, и если заметить этот момент, то можно быстро атаковать толпу и отступить)

@anaticula Спасибо! Да, это скорее не игра получилась, а просто проба базовой механики для дальнейшей разработки)

неплохая обкатка концепции, мы вот тоже нечто подобное хотели сделать, но пришлось под тему подстраиваться =)
