I finished my compo entry, “Downbeat<\/a>“.\u00a0 I could probably add some extras with the extra time, but as usual I’m afraid about doing anything to break the game so close to the deadline.<\/p>\n

So in the game, music is your weapon.\u00a0 As you move around the maze,\u00a0four-beat patterns\u00a0are played on the left side of the screen.\u00a0 Duplicating each pattern spawns musical notes that will attempt to home in on enemies to damage them.\u00a0 The more accurate your rhythm is, the stronger the attacks are.\u00a0 Touching an enemy\u00a0results in\u00a0a game over, while reaching the portal wins the game.<\/p>\n

(There are a few issues with enemy spawning though.\u00a0 It’s so randomized that in some rare cases, you can end up with too many or not enough enemies.\u00a0 So if the game is either too easy or too difficult, try playing a second time to see if it turns out better.)<\/p>","time":"April 19th, 2015 7:01 pm","title":"Finished early"}
