I reached it twice, and I reached level 4 and level 5, so 4 playthroughts as a total.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"nikincz","author_uid":1002575,"time":"2018-04-24T17:28:03Z","epoch":1524590883,"modified":1524590883,"text":"Good idea, but it's frustratingly slow and rhythm game without music doesn't feel right.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"jchaplin","author_uid":"1033481","time":"2018-04-24T17:31:05Z","epoch":1524591065,"modified":1524591065,"text":"Cool concept!

That being said, the idea is cool and you managed to make a game of it that fits well the theme.

It's hard to get into the flow of the beat, especially since it's so slow. I'd have preferred a necrodancer style of movement where you hit the arrow keys in the beat instead of using the arrow keys to predetermine your direction and then using space. It just seems like an unnecessary extra step to do the main action in the game.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Erkberg","author_uid":"1000213","time":"2018-04-29T11:03:39Z","epoch":1524999819,"modified":1524999819,"text":"Interesting combination of genres, however the game desperately needs sound! It would make it just so much better. Otherwise it works pretty well, but I would suggest trying to only (but always) move enemies when you miss a beat (or let it slip), this could maybe add some more excitement to the game. I think the tempo of the game is alright if you extend on the aspect of planning ahead, because otherwise it could be overwhelming. Enjoyed this overall, good job!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"kelbg","author_uid":"1008627","time":"2018-04-29T13:46:34Z","epoch":1525009594,"modified":1525009594,"text":"Really cool idea, as others have said before, this game begs for some music. I would also like to be able to predict the movement of the enemies somehow, it feels a little too random right now. Graphics are simple but nice and consistent.
