Grip of Despair is a grim rhythm fighting game about an alcoholic, who woke up and decided to change his life. Push button sequences to help Gorton beat the opponents!

I really didn't fit anything theme-related and the game is extremely raw. All I managed to finish is the UI bar which I will end up re-creating again. Still I decided to upload the game here as a reminder to set realistic goals for my next game jam and working with placeholders first instead of polishing the art.

If your game is as unfinished as mine or, generally, you're interested in seeing other people's experience with Ludum Dare, I think that you will like my "postmortem" video about Grip of Despair and 2 other LD entries:

Edit1: Added HTML5 build, not sure if it will run well outside of the fullscreen mode.
