In my opinion it would have been better to toggle on/off the aim with right mouse button, as I didn't see an advantage of not aiming.
Additionnal feedback would have been great on the shots and success/fail, and perhaps grenades as bonus to clear when it gets difficult and put more emphasis on the mashup of genres ;)
2 days is such a short time !
Game is good, and idea is quite interesting, I am curious what this could become.
The songs, in addition to being numerous, are actually very nice, which is a strong positive point.
Well done !
I discovered you could use CTRL to fire while experimenting on my second attempt, and turning auto-zoom on made a big difference- I think it would be worth pushing the user towards those input options as they make it much easier to play.
The music was great, and an impressive number of tracks for the time!
I would have liked to have seen the notes on the board match up with the notes/beats in the song in some way (seemed like the notes on the board might be completely unrelated to the song? as I noticed they kept coming after one of the songs ended and the level stayed on for 20 seconds in silence)
Also a few moments of rest in between note sequences would have helped, the constant onslaught gave me no time to let go of the mouse and stretch my hand!
I'd also have liked to have seen the song go glitchy if you miss notes and some kind of gameover if you play completely terribly like me :)
But cool idea overall, feels like it would make an interesting VR game!
Nice game man, hope you'll continue developing this game!
As many others have said, it lacks additional visual and audio feedback. But other than that it really plays well. The controls feel smooth as all hell too.
Definitely waiting for VR port 😤
The coming weekend I will address any issues you guys have raised, add any features you guys think I should implement (such as streak multipliers), and I will look into adding VR support.
Thank you again, and happy jamming.
These are mostly polishing issues, but I had very hard time seeing whether I actually hit a note or not. Also, the rhythm usually was just a bit off beat which gets very annoying quite fast.
Overall, good idea and mostly good presentation. Some polishing and this could be a great game!
maybe you should think about opting out of the audio category
since the music is from 3rd parties i have no idea how to rate that
Great work! Also try rating/playing my game :smile:

The graphics and especially the bloom on the lighting is really the highlight here.
You could make something like a drum sound, when a bullet hits a target. The shoot sound is a bit quiet.
Also maybe decrease points when the player doesn't get a target.
A really good entry!
Nice job on having a good amount of songs!
Personally, I would have toned down the glow/bloom on the graphics, but otherwise, the visuals were nice.
Also would be nice to have some sound and a bit more visual feedback when you hit or miss a note.
But those are just small nitpicks, all in all I think its a great entry. Good job!
The sheer number of tracks is super impressive and they are nice and match the aesthetic really well.
I was missing a penalty for missing (teehee) the notes - like a small score decrease or something along those lines.
