A "band" of adventurers approach a lonely mountain
Legends tell of a musician of such rippling greatness that they need only 10 seconds to prepare the next face melting solo
Some legends are true...

The gameplay itself unfortunately leaves quite a bit to be desired. Seems like there's not a lot of strategy or depth, and it boils down to just
1. Make a shield of the right color
2. Spam the attack sequences as fast as possible in order
There also seems to be only 1 enemy, which was very easy to beat once I got the basic understanding of matching attack color to shield color.
All in all, seems like a great concept and foundation for a much deeper game, but lacking quite a lot of content!
current speedrun record: 30.68secs!
feels very polished
This could be making something really big!
I imagine various enemies, lands and stories.
Think about it! It will be worth a lot!
Congratulations on the idea!
Some thoughts:
- The art is amazing, congrats for the awesome introduction
- It's hard to understand how the shields work
