The scene transition are really cool and the music and sound effects are really good, And it's an interesting take on the normal guitar hero based games(i think it's guitar hero based atleast).

Hahaha running out of spacebar! It was a little confusing at first, but eventually, I got used to it. Wonderful music and art!

This is really funny, cool music and sound effects, a nice animation, simple game play. Good job (so far - I don't know if you still continue to work on this)! What did you use to create the animations? Also, did you create the music yourself? It is very cool, if so, how did you do that? I have used Bosca Ceoil for my games so far, creating 8 bit-like music but would be interested in improving my skills there.

really nice transition and artstyle, love it, the gameplay itself very simple but fun and addicting, i keep replaying it over and over again, i keep dying at 70+/100 tho, extremely hard at the end especially with the attack delay, and i also love the gritty music and sfx that you after , absolutely well done !

The n/100 is a very important UI element I almost missed! I would have stopped playing after the first death, because the gameplay looked very repetitive and it seemed like I had seen everything. I'm glad I stuck around, getting to the end was fun! I never felt like I was running out of spacebars though, I only ran out of hearts. I guess I should use the shield more :)

Thank you everyone for playing my entry.
@gonutz I use Spine Pro to create all of the animation. Bought last time but no chance to use and Thank to the LD I really had fun on making them. :D About the music, I din't made them, I use Universal Sound FX and download audiojungle. Maybe next jam will be focus on CREATE the game sound and music. For this time, Art + Animations. ;)
@gelisam Glad you enjoyed. We purposely put 100 as goal so player can have objective and the difficulty will scale up accordingly. Haha.
Thanks @kaboosh @kristov @diwo @team-on @ghen !

Solid Entry! it's simple and fun, I like the sound effect and the animation a lot!
It's a bit sad that typing the coming key do nothing but if it works, then it's not spacebar man😂

Oh well. If you did not make the music, please opt out of the Audio category, it's in the [rules](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/rules).

Really cool art style and animations. Loved the music and sounds. Very simple, fun and addictive gameplay. I like that you put a goal which encouraged me to play it again and again. Great job!

Super arcade-y presentation. A bit mindless, but entertaining nonetheless.

Really nice! The transitions, music and sound use make it a very cool all around experience. Had try and again until achieving the 100 hits. It does gets tight towards the end!
Edit: I did find the game mechanics challenging enough to maybe make a sort of endurance fighting game.

Love the aesthetic. I like this game because you could easily build upon it and turn it something really neat. My strategy was to slash the single letters and block any incoming groups of letters. I got to about 40. Maybe I'll try get all 100 later on. Good job!

Too me a while to get the timing and strategy down, but it was quite fun! The animation and art was lovely.

Interesting idea. When I was playing it in first try, I was trying to push correct keys with no luck. Maybe combination of type-game with space as sheild will work great.
