How did I do? https://imgur.com/928QJLK

This game has a lot of potential! I'd love to share some suggestions I had:
* could you make it procedurally generated? It needs a little bit more variation
* I think it can be made a little harded, make it so a user just can't spam his left & right arror. (Only realised that at the end tho lol
* I felt like the enemies hit me to fast, I always thought I still had time left to hit them

But awesome entry man! I'd love for this to see a follow up. Please also do checkout my submission! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/keyboard-warrior

It's not a regular endless run, it's better! It's a good idea that one of, moreover avoiding monsters, need to check the steps to continue moving. Also the graphics and the music are great for a game in a jam.

Congratulations!

Nice! Rythm + Runner mix!

I have to say that I am not really good at rythm games, but this was well done! :)

Keep up the good work!

Absolutely loved this, really fun and satisfying to play! It's easy to get it wrong with rhythm games, but this felt good. More songs! :D

An accessible rhythm game with an atmosphere of madness! The graphics are good! We're almost on a beathem all / rhythm game actually! The interface under the feet of the character is super readable unlike other games of its kind! It's really fun! Good work !

Very fun game, maybe a tad difficult at times(the enemies from the left were very fast and hard to time right), though I don't have much experience with rhythm games. Great job.

Nice! I love rhythm games, metal and horror so this is basically the perfect genre :D Solid, fun gameplay and the riffs are heavy. The rhythm of the notes to play corresponded well to the music too. The fact that the visual indicators for the notes weren't aligned visually made it a little harder to sight read, but as a veteran rhythm game player I appreciated the challenge - might make the game a bit less accessible to newer players though. I would've liked to see the walking mechanic or survival horror aspects make more of a difference in the gameplay itself, but it was fun as-is. I got 142.2m traveled and a score of 45270. Great work! 🤘

Protip, you can sing the title along with the chorus of "Run to the Hills" :P 🎵 run to the hills... riff for your life... 🎵

Distance 142.29M Final score 30474. Fun, i even played through the level twice. Graphics were simple but did the job, enjoyed the music. Not sure what else to say, just wanted more levels. Good job.

Awesome soundtrack, wasn't hard to learn, very fun rythm game with great potential. I would like to see more survival horror elements.
Great job guys.

Nicely done. I hadn't played Guitar hero before. I was able to complete the stage.
