It's really nice, I had fun playing this, but have some pointers:\n\n* For a rhythm game you have to have some kind of calibration. Different hardware has different input delays you have to account for.\n* Syncing of the visuals to beat needs to be frame rate independent. many times it would lag and be impossible to hit on the beat\n\nI really loved the idea and aesthetic of this game! Having different weapons that fire at different subdivisions of the beat is a cool idea. It would be awesome if you could use multiple at once. Would love to see this more developed! Great job overall!\n\nI did better turning off the audio and just using visual cues\n![spitbeat.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/2c4\/31\/z\/14b18.jpg)","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld41\/82139-ee3d082e496d28ca0198b6d0df772698.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/k4jqxoh8iqsr8bo\/SpitBeat_x64.zip?dl=0","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/680fm5lp66kyzqv\/SpitBeat_x32.zip?dl=0","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"48834","g_author":"1043488","g_event":"LD41","g_eventkey":"72","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"246980","g_title":"Spitbeat","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"1","g_site2_node_id":"82139","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"82139","n_urlkey":"246980","n_parent":"73256","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/41\/spitbeat","n_slug":"spitbeat","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"43488","n_created":"1524194100","n_modified":"1524602884","n_version":"273516","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":82139,"parent":73256,"superparent":9,"author":43488,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2018-04-24T00:58:18Z","created":"2018-04-20T03:15:00Z","modified":"2018-04-24T20:48:04Z","version":273516,"slug":"spitbeat","name":"Spitbeat","body":"![About.png](\/\/\/raw\/0e9\/a\/z\/12db5.png)\nSpitbeat is a satisfying Top-Down shooter whit a twist.\npull the trigger with the beat, and only then will it shoot!\nDifferent weapons have different beats, so some of them can shoot faster than others!\n\nEnemies will spawn in waves. \nThe chest at the topmost edge of the tree will hold different weapons that can help you reach a high-score! open it, and see.\n\nThe hand drawn art-style helps to give the game a cozy feeling.\n\nShoot for the high-score!\n\n\n![Controls.png](\/\/\/raw\/0e9\/a\/z\/12dae.png)\nUse W \/ A \/ S \/ D to move\nAim with your Mouse, and shoot with Left mouse button!\n\n![DevLog.png](\/\/\/raw\/0e9\/a\/z\/12e59.png)\n\nThis was a tough theme. \"Combine two incompatible themes\".
