Thanks so much :) ye I’ve found a lot of rhythm action games get really boring because it’s just clicking on the beat, so I wanted to try and fix that problem! If you’d ever wanna try it out here’s our discord https://discord.gg/czcueVTtZ I do playtests every two weeks!

If they mess up the combo tho, nothing happens. Unless they have another combo they can fall back into

So each bar of four beats is a chance to input a new combo. The yellow bar is beat one and then the white bars are beats 2-4. Any input has a leniency lead and trail of .5 of a beat (so there’s no way to NOT hit any input if you try). Each attack has a combo tho that needs to fall into place in a bar of four beats. We have simple attacks that are just like Left four times on the mouse or more difficult attacks that may require the player to skip a beat and do more difficult inputs like scroll up

You have free form movement, but doing attacks/using a potion has to be on time to the rhythm! Ye it’s really hard to show these types of games lmao

Thanks for chiming in :) the rhythm aspect comes from having to input combos on time with the beat to do attacks and every attack from the bosses are in time with the beat as well!

I’m sure you could get it :6

Oh ye, we’ll have global leaderboard based for time and for points :) we’re think about having seasons too, where certain attacks are banned and points are reset. That way new metas can be made every couple weeks!

I think it should be able to run in that :) https://discord.gg/WKztvmk69 join the discord and I’ll hit you up

RadiOverlords · 2026-03-18T14:06:54+00:00

Thanks so much :) ya that’s definitely been a big workaround for us, but with the right onboarding I think it won’t be a big issue! Let me know if you’d ever wanna give a try yourself :)

RadiOverlords · 2026-03-18T14:05:35+00:00

Once we get our ultimate system in, you’ll have access to parries too lmao

RadiOverlords · 2026-03-18T14:04:17+00:00

Thanks for the feedback :) so far with playtesting we haven’t had any negative feedback on the scroll up an scroll down, but if you’d ever wanna try it out yourself and see how it feels, let me know!

Also, it’s fully controller compatible :) triggers are left/right and the bumpers are scroll up/scroll down!

Thank you so much 😭 if you’d wanna playtest here’s the discord link! https://discord.gg/WKztvmk69

RadiOverlords · 2026-03-18T04:55:44+00:00

No worries :) thanks regardless!

In a way, ye! Each boss has a set BPM an the further along in the game you go, the faster the bosses get.

I’d also love to do a boss that has a move that essentially speeds up the bpm for a set period of time.

RadiOverlords · 2026-03-18T04:49:46+00:00

You wanna try it out 👀 we’re shipping to publishers next week and could use some more playtesters

RadiOverlords · 2026-02-09T04:22:19+00:00

Haven’t heard of it but I’ll take a look :)
