東京メトロ 「tokyo metro」 by Ben Heil

[raw]
made by Ben Heil for Ludum Dare 54 (JAM)

Tokyo Metro

I took the theme maybe too literally and made a game in a 240 x 160 viewport.

You are Ichi, a young man riding home on the Shinjuku line when suddenly you're attacked by (surprisingly rhythmic) monsters. Can you punch and kick your way home or will the night dance you away?

This is a short rhythm game implemented in Godot 4.1.1.

I created the art assets during the jam using a pixel art editor for iPad called Pixaki. The music and sound effects I created during the jam with a collection of teenage engineering pocket operator synths and Cubase artist.

All code for the game was written by me during the jam and the only asset I installed externally was a pixel art font from FFF.

Controls

W or Left Action to punch D or Right Action to kick

Kill Monsters, Get Steez No Steez? Game Over

I really have a soft spot for rhythm games!

While this one stays basic in its gameplay I really liked the art style and the music!

It definitely has a vibe :D

I like the game but at the end of the day it's a simple rhythm game. A greater mixer between fighting game and rhythm game would have been more welcome.

​Good job when restricting yourself to limited resolution!

Wow you really managed to ship a rhythm game for a game jam! Congrats!! I really enjoyed the music. After a few tries I got to around the score ~260 then got hit, which froze the frame. But at least I got to hear the rest of the song, looked like I was close to the end 😅. Art is also clean. Well done!

Cool aesthetic. I like how the notes are keysounded. Too many rhythm games just go for a boring generic "pon" nowadays. I've also got a freeze mid-song, somewhere during the second half. I don't remember what my streak was at the time though. Still, well done!

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I’m looking into the reports of freezes. I think it may be a web player thing only but I’ll see if I can find a way to reproduce it and remedy :)

Nice a rhythm game! Really beats to the rhythm, lol.
It freezes here to at some points. But regardless it seems to have a nice vibe going and gameplay from what I got the vibe of after over a few reloads.

GG, would like to try again when the freeze issue is solved :D
