You have an especially powerful gun, but it only works if you fire along with the rhythm of the world: the right type of projectile on the right note. If you hit the wrong note your gun will jam.

And to make things worse: every 10 seconds a new pattern of music starts, getting more and more intense; all the while more and more enemies will come at you.

I only had about 8-ish hours total to make something by myself, so it's more of a proof of concept than a full game.

Enjoy!
(Beware: it may be hard, ymmv, not really tested ;) )
