I liked the artstyle, a bit of humor was good to see too. The only thing I found a bit less is the game itself. I'm all for a simple concept, but I found this a little.. lacking innovation. Other than that, nice graphics, nice mood, well done!

The quick narrative at the start works to set a humorous tone. It gets hard quickly.

Nice work, I love the way you could make a music game out of those QTE! Speaking of music...

Was fun, got hard all in one go. Enjoyed it. Consider adding projectiles of the color when you press the buttons.

Haha this is hilarious. I want my friends to play this.

That said I have a couple suggestions. I think it would be a lot less frustrating/confusing if the controls were 1,2,3 instead of z,x,c. The latter also might be a problem with non-qwerty keyboard layouts? Second, it took me forever to realize that multi-key enemies coming from the left have their keys in right-to-left order. This would be solved if you would highlight the first key to be typed. Finally, I think it would be nice to see your current score.

My high score was 26. I probably suck at this.

Why is this so much fun!? :D

The only problem I had: I had to get used to the controls. After a while, when the combinations start to come, I didn't really know what order I had to press them. Apart from that, pretty fun!

Fun game, but I feel like the tags for the multi-key kills go in the wrong direction. It would be more intuitive for me if the went from left to right and they seem to go from right to left.

By the way, this works on Linux too.

Very fun x) I think I might have some trouble with double tapping of the key the game required. Like "Z-Z". Maybe it's just me.

Nice idea, and funny backstory. A bit of work on the fighting implementation and it would be awesome.

This was a cool little game. The only thing I'd recommend working on gameplay wise, is making the notes sync up with the music. Well done!
