I am a true sucker for rythm games and I have never seen this kind of mechanic (the position-based charge thing). Extremely clever way of enforcing the timing with the music! Also great execution with the little time window where it goes green that makes it less punishing, and rewarding feeling that you managed to save it.\n\nThe music is super catchy! As a fellow maker of chiptunes I really appreciate the vibes and sounds you got into this!\n\nArt style is minimalistic but still looks great, very consistent!\n\nI need to play more :notes: :musical_note: ","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Pincushion","author_uid":"1144460","time":"2020-04-20T16:06:20Z","epoch":1587398780,"modified":1587398780,"text":"I've never played osu!, but I definitely liked this.

Rhythm games are a pain to make, so to see one done so well for a jam is awesome! For feedback, I'll say that it's pretty awkward to play an Osu-like game with a mouse only and the game's pretty hard with that in mind (or maybe I'm just bad :P), but it's still super enjoyable.

It's a kind of minimalist Osu! with obstacles you must avoid.\nI think the enemies make the game pretty difficult. It's easy to play but very difficult to master.\n\nI love how the difficult curve was balanced. At the beginning there's no enemies so the player can learn the rhythmic mechanic. After a short, enemies start appearing and the amount in difficult goes up slowly but faster enough.\nCongratulations for such a compo entry. It's really cool.","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld46\/190846-bd2a4c25bc493acad18c0d8beeaa3147.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dukes.itch.io\/keep-the-beat-alive","text":"Youtube"},{"url":"https:\/\/dukes.itch.io\/keep-the-beat-alive","text":"Youtube"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"61695","g_author":"1115991","g_event":"LD46","g_eventkey":"77","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"275224","g_title":"Keep the beat alive","g_status":"PVT1","g_place":"82","g_commentcount":"15","g_site2_node_id":"190846","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"190846","n_urlkey":"275224","n_parent":"176557","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/keep-the-beat-alive","n_slug":"keep-the-beat-alive","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"115991","n_created":"1587137371","n_modified":"1587343192","n_version":"576324","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":190846,"parent":176557,"superparent":9,"author":115991,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"compo","published":"2020-04-20T00:28:29Z","created":"2020-04-17T15:29:31Z","modified":"2020-04-20T00:39:52Z","version":576324,"slug":"keep-the-beat-alive","name":"Keep the beat alive","body":"**Keep the beat** alive is a minimalist, osu! like rythm game with some Shoot 'em up elements.\n\nYour goals are simple : \n - Chase the white circles\n - Avoid the red enemies\n  \n![2020-04-19_200737.png](\/\/\/raw\/715\/c1\/z\/2c4a5.png)\n\n\nThe game is very rought but quite fun to play, I hope you enjoy it !  \nThe game was made with pico8.","meta":{"author":[115991],"cover":"\/\/\/content\/715\/c1\/z\/2c76b.png","grade-07-out":"1","link-01":"https:\/\/dukes.itch.io\/keep-the-beat-alive","link-01-tag":[42336],"link-02":"https:\/\/dukes.itch.io\/keep-the-beat-alive","link-02-tag":[42332]},"path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/keep-the-beat-alive","parents":[1,5,9,176557],"love":0,"notes":15,"notes-timestamp":"2020-04-22T07:04:11Z","grade":{"grade-01":25,"grade-02":25,"grade-03":25,"grade-04":25,"grade-05":25,"grade-06":25,"grade-08":24},"magic":{"cool":101.19764747968,"feedback":7,"given":21.25,"grade":24.857142857143,"grade-01-average":3.978,"grade-01-result":82,"grade-02-average":4.239,"grade-02-result":15,"grade-03-average":3.522,"grade-03-result":338,"grade-04-average":3.696,"grade-04-result":502,"grade-05-average":3.587,"grade-05-result":422,"grade-06-average":4.435,"grade-06-result":5,"grade-08-average":3.727,"grade-08-result":146,"smart":-14.584693128882}},"text":"**Keep the beat** alive is a minimalist, osu! like rythm game with some Shoot 'em up elements.\n\nYour goals are simple : \n - Chase the white circles\n - Avoid the red enemies\n  \n![2020-04-19_200737.png](\/\/\/raw\/715\/c1\/z\/2c4a5.png)\n\n\nThe game is very rought but quite fun to play, I hope you enjoy it !  \nThe game was made with pico8.","title":"Keep the beat alive"}
