You get hit if you stay too close. I concede the enemy's punch animation is not that easy to see.

I've try to combine rhythm game with beat'em up. I realize now that was not really incompatible but well it's done.

Play with arrows, asdw, or qsdz and follow the beat.

Made with love2d.

Thanks to "DJFlo" for the music. (Give him also a note, he will appreciate a good one ;))

A comment is always appreciated even if it is to say "Good job" (or "Bad job" ;)). You can comment in french.

Good luck.

Those ragdoll animations haha!

Great concept, works pretty well, and perfectly fit the theme!

Loved the dialogue intro, really set the mood, that's great to see an introduction before the real gameplay.

I wasn't sure why I was getting hit sometimes, like I didn't miss any beat and I lost a life when an enemy was to close.
Didn't manage to finish the first level though, I lost at 0:02 secs and didn't have the courage to retry it x)

Overall a really fun entry!

Reminds me of Parappa the Rapper. The timing is just as unforgiving and it's a nice thing like 'give me space on the dance floor fools'! Nicely done. Cheers!

Fun game, but I find it incredibly difficult.

It's just like really going to the club. Great commentary on the social hierarchies of meat markets.

Haha, DJ Flo!!! I also know someone who dances like that!
I thought it was really cool mash-up between rhythm and fighting - Bon travail!

Dope!
I'm pretty sure the tempo bugged after my first replay(Maybe the cause was that I, at some point, spammed the arrow keys like crazy).
Overall, nice mix of the rhythm/action genres!

J'aime commenter en français (même si les rageux diront que c'est international et qu'il faut pas touçatouça) :smile:

Du coup, le jeu est plutôt stylay. On en a vite fait le tour, mais on ne s'en lasse pas ! L'idée est originale et rend vraiment bien. GG !

D'ailleurs, si l'envie te prend de jeter un œil à mon jeu (https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/project-t-a-r-d-i-s), tu peux commenter en français aussi lol

Fun little game, ended up bobbing my head along with the beat :smile: Love the derpy ragdoll movement. Great work!

Absolutely bonkers. The rhythm aspects work really well, though a little tough in places. But that doesn't distract from the charming graphics and the music works really well too. Great job.

Great weird entry ! I was very difficult for me, but it was definitely fun and engaging, and the learning curve was pretty good.

Interesting idea. Really I can't gets control to move like on the demo. But I should try again. If anybody likes such unusual gameplay, try my game https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/the-king-of-the-hill

Fun game, nice job! The mechanic reminds me of Crypt of the NecroDancer. But the mood is totally different of course! It felt like the timing got out of sync of the music after a while, but I still had fun and survived the whole time. I feel like some strategy would make the game better, perhaps have an enemy type which you have to avoid, or maybe powerups to collect, to give you objectives other than just killing enemies. Maybe some attack combos. I'm just spouting random ideas at this point, haha. Good job!

Not bad! Ultimately I was never able to beat the game but I got really close on one of my earlier tries. ): The music is done professionally and fits well. Seemed to require a lot of precision tho and sometimes it felt like it wouldn't register when I was sure I was on the beat. Not sure if that means I'm just bad at keeping up or if the graphics are actually not entirely synchronised with the music. Overall it was a fun idea and I think it worked rather well; just needs a little bit of fine-tuning IMO! Well done!
