Rhythm game about a demonic metal band!

Do you want your own music band? Then you need a band of badass metalheads! Summon metal demons using musical instruments. Find the recorders that have track fragments recorded on them and repeat the fragments exactly on the musical instruments to summon a demon. Each instrument summons one metal demon. When you've summoned everyone, go ahead and show off your vocal skills!

Musical fragments are randomly generated each time you start the game, so you can try your luck a few times!

Nice game, although the music is definitely not metal

@alxje Thanks for your feedback! Indeed, the sounds are not exactly metal, we tried to make something simple in sound to squeeze into a short four-nome pattern.

Not really metal, but the concept is really neat!
ComfyLenny15 Apr 2024, 10:28
such a nice concept, even though all the sounds layering over each other makes it a bit headache inducing when trying to figure out the remaining melodies lol

Cool concept! The layered sounds got a little maddening though, not gonna lie

It was a little fiddly and frustrating inputting the melodies by targeting the objects in the world, there were a couple of times when I knew the pattern but I kept clicking the wrong thing or not clicking in time or something.

Cool concept! The failed sound effect is maybe a bit too prominent, but the game is cool! Graphism are top notched!

Great concept and aesthetic. The buzzer is annoying though, and when you lock in a couple tracks, it gets hard to listen to the next sample to figure out what to play. I gave up when I couldn't get the drums even though I swear I learned the pattern.

To be honest, it was really hard to listen. It was some king of challenge for ears.

Funny concept and a catchy beat :) Although it's kinda laggy. Also guitar pattern doesn't seem to work. I'm pretty confident that the pattern should be BDAC, but every time I got to A the buzzer activated and I wasn't able to summon the guitarist in the end

Cool atmosphere!! Didnt fully understand the gameplay, but overall pretty good!
Aki_Kato16 Apr 2024, 21:03
This is cool idea :)
I like ending in this game :D

Interesting game! I like it!

I really liked your game. You did a great job and did a great job!!!

Cool gameplay, but difficult to understand. In some places there are drawdowns in FPS, but given the beauty of the visual style, you can close your eyes to this.

The gameplay mechanics in this game are so intuitive! It's like the controls become an extension of your own instincts. Plus, the art style adds a unique flair that keeps you engaged throughout. Definitely a gem worth exploring!

Loved the idea and art. Was a little bit hard to run between recordings and instruments, but overall a super cool take on a rhythm game!

I would like to play but strangely the game has very low FPS on my PC. I tried Windows and Linux version on my 2070 GPU :thinking:

Stunning 3D modeling! It's incredibly lifelike and immersive.

Nice idea poor realisation

The graphics were really interesting and well done. I should have started with the drum pattern first, it was hard to focus on the pattern with everyone else playing. The music got pretty repetitive after a while.

The mood of metal and the design of the band members were really well done,
Me and my brother were laughting at the layering sounds of the instruments not sure if that was what you were looking for,
Anyways thanks for the game.

A true test to your hearing. Good job!

Nice game, I like the design of the band members.
Did get suck on the stairs sometimes.
Had some trouble with the drum sequence because it was off by one from a previous miss as I think it was counting a note towards the new sequence before the buzzer sounded. Probably would have been better to continually check the last 8 notes played rather than having to reset the state.

Would be cool for song to progress beyond the 4 beat patter after summoning everyone. But even now, game is pretty fun!

Nice game. I'm by no means an auditory person, so unfortunately I wasn't able to spawn all the instruments. But I never thought I'd see a Cthulhu playing keyboard :D

It was lagging for me from time to time and the sound was not very pleasant but other than that good job

The cuthulu playing keyboard is my new spirit animal! Well done :)

Super cool! Reminded me a bit of Lethal Company at first with the graphics. Maybe if it was mixed with Trove lol

This was fun - clever gameplay and not really like any other I've played! Good atmosphere and vibe.

I did click the wrong instrument sometimes - some outline to show which one you selected would be great. The failed sound was also mixed pretty obnoxiously high, but I guess failure should have a price sometimes...

Inputting the melodies by targeting objects in the world was fiddly and frustrating. There were times when I knew the pattern but kept clicking the wrong thing or not clicking in time. Sorry for any mistakes!

This was an amazing game! Loved the graphics and music, spectacular! Good luck!
