Rhythm Castle - Platformer/Rhythm Game

Lil Grizzly Embarks on a Rhythm Adventure and motivates the moles of the Blue Fortress. As Lil keeps the beat alive, he gains new powers that will leave him soaring through the skies!!!

I encourage constructive criticism to help me improve the game. I will definitely continue developing this game in the future so please follow me on Itch if you want to get updated. I also plan on sharing my implementations :)

Tips

#### Rhythm Sections
- You will know its a Rhythm section when you see one :)
- During the Rhythm Section, Camera shakes means you got the timing wrong, hi hat sound means you got it correct
- You will need to get the pattern correct two consecutive times for the moles to be pleased.
- You have to be near the middle mole in the Rhythm sections. You will know you are not close enough if you dont see shakes or hear hi hats when you jump/crouch.
- The Rhythm sections after the first one at the start of the game have a different beat patterns. To identify this, check when the the neon lights blink.

#### Platform Sections
- No need to jump with the beat. Just move as you please like a normal platformer.
- The starting controls may be limited but once you get double jump, things get really fun :)
- Moving platforms give a tremendous boost in jump if timed properly.
- Moving platforms are in sync with the music
- For wall-jumps, if you put pressure on the wall, it will propel you further away.
- Jumping next to the wall without pressing on it will propel you less, essential for climbing tall walls.
- It is suggested to jump, glide, double jump when nearing the destination, then glide again for best results.

This game has been greatly inspired from Celeste developed by Matt Thorson and Noel Berry
