I have to admit this is right up my alley hehe Love the music!

I don't like that the chart changes everytime the scene changes, and you miss the first note every time because it spawns right on top of you and you can't react that fast.

Also, and this is from personal experience, if you make a rythm game like this, don't made it so that if you click when there is no note it counts as a failure, but instead make it only whether you hit a note before it passes, because otherwise you will miss the note (1 failure) + click in vain (1 failure) which means you get 2 failures for missing a note versus 1 success for hitting a note which isn't fair. I hope I'm making sense with this explanation!

Otherwise, pretty solid entry! Good job!

Banger music and a nice combo of the mini games with the rhythm element! I wish there was a way to more easily sync the sword points with the rhythm points cause I couldn't really look at both at once, but overall it was a great entry, well done!

Gameplay could be faster, but I like it overall

I am a Metalhead, I love Metal. METAL!!! Well done! :muscle: :smiling_imp:

The thing I have to criticize is the lack of feedback when hitting a note. It could be a bit more impulsive.

Overall a nice entry :v:

It start really fast and keep this intensity all along. It is a nice game.

The music and style were awesome. Only complaint was on the inspection and heating having to take my eyes off the rhythm bar to look at other things meant I kept clicking on what I thought were beats but weren't. Other than that I liked it a lot.

I love this, but I'm so bad at music game. Awesome art style, music and idea for the game. I got to 6400 points. Good job with the game.
