Nice game, impressive to have made everything from scratch. Would have liked the rhythm sections to have been in more slightly irregular intervals and maybe more frequently though! Good job :)

Nice little game, with very good sound effects. The controls felt a bit wonky, as if everything I did happened half a second late. Since the projectiles are quite fast, this made the game really difficult. The idea and use of theme was executed well nonetheless. Good job!
Maybe add a few screenshots to the game's page!

This is a interesting rhythm/shooter game, that is easy to learn and fun to play. The best part of this game is the amazing music. Overall a very well made LD game. Well done.

An interesting idea. I think it would benefit from having the player start further to the left of the screen. That way you have a bit longer to plan your shots. Cool idea though!

I think having another dimension of movement (left to right) would be nicer for better aiming. It's kinda hard to play the game without just avoiding the enemies.

Nice concept. I really liked the music. But to me it felt easier to avoid the enemies than to try and shoot them because you risk just hitting them that way. Also hitting the enemies was very difficult since the laser and the enemies themselves are quite small and you have not time/room for readjusting your shot. I would also like to see the shooting pattern adapt a bit more to the music :)

Interesting combination of genres! While the music is great, it is hard to keep a beat to the orchestral track. Also hitting enemies is near impossible as the beat zones don't align with the enemy shots, and most of the time evading is the only option. Difficulty felt quite tough (or maybe I just suck at this).

hard to play at the beginning since the controls are bugging or smthng :/ but still fun to try ^^ keep it up (y)

Nice idea! Although it would be a bit better, I think, if your spaceship would be a bit further to the left. Now whenever you spot enemies, it's often already to late to try to kill them (especially the greens ones). Another way to possibly improve is if you'd punish the player for trying to shoot off-beat; right now it seems the ideal strategy is just to spam spacebar.
