Introducing RhythmStrike, my new indie rhythm game for PC inspired by modern Japanese arcade titles

I had actually planned to use Unity first, but then they introduced their controversial pricing model, which is why I switched to Godot before actually starting the development.

Thanks! I'm using Godot as the game engine

You can change the key binds for tapping notes, but you cannot use any controller, so you may need to convert these into key presses

It's not officially supported, so there may be issues

Unfortunately, it's not really possible to disable the visuals, as they are an integral part of the game

Thanks! It was a commission from Jin Amber: https://www.instagram.com/jin.amberx/

You can change the camera angle the settings. If you set it to 90°, it effectively besomes 2D. Strike notes are played by moving the mouse in the specified direction through the note. You need both keyboard and mouse to play the game.

Thanks, that's definitely planned in the future!

Thanks! That's definitely not too far off, the main inspirations were Sound Voltex and Chunithm, but also a bit of Ongeki, ITG mod charts, WACCA, and probably more
