BEAPE by Xgor
It's a rhythm and maze game in one.
Get past all the levels and escape! BEAt escaPE!
Gonna add timelapse and I might be able to port it later.
Note that I have gotten reports of WINE removing the sounds and that kinda destroys a lot of the game. Just keep that in mind.

It was a nice attempt at making a musical game, but I think it isn't what it could have been in that regard. That's because by design, in your game things only ever happen exactly on the beat and never on an offbeat, that made the sound feel like a march. You could think about adding elements that are half on one square and half on the other, or just soundloops that are turned on and off by walking over special tiles (that for example,temporarily open doors while that sound is playing).
I guess my main critique is that the game is really missing some music to match the gameplay, I ended up beatboxing in my head to better coordinate my movements. With music, it would probably have been a 5-star fun rating for me. Otherwise, still a really great game!
I'm running it using Wine on Arch Linux by the way, which works fine.
The music could be better with off-beat variation.
Still, I really liked the concept and there's a definite potential. It just needs to be exploited properly :)
The earlier levels are a bit dull but it gets more exciting further in.
And there are a lot of levels, with well balanced difficulty, that's a good point ;)
I appreciate the respect of the theme in the game play
The sound are great too
Also yeah I guess it does start of too slow, I know how to make it easy to learn buut I guess I overdid it this time :P
Solid entry!
For some critique I can say that I found the player and direction hard to distinguish, might be 'cause I'm somewhat colorblind, but still it made me not being able to relax. And to that point, the music wasn't as calming and helpful as it could've been, as people have said your sense of rythm didn't exactly come into play I feel.
Anyway great job and concept, keep it up! :D
