SCORE 2780 :D... i was not laughing so loudly in no other games :D... oh sound with that music? GREAT love that :D... only one thing - there is small delay before jump, it was hard to control, and some health bar would be perfect

I loved playing it! The sound when you hit someone is just genius and really fits with the music! Only the jumping is a bit hard... I feel like there's some delay and its way too short to get over the obstacles. But apart from that it's really fun!

The highlight of this is how well you fit the level design with the music, every "drop" is accompanied by an appropriately intense section. Well done!

Makes fun :-) would be nice if the speed would increase over time and if you could actually loose ^^. But well done.
Also cant really see the theme. Where do I keep anything alive here?

Awesome endless runner. It felt almost like a Beat Saber! And sweet meme references. Good job!

work well. The hits felt a bit off though, especially at the fast parts. A win message or some feedback would have been nice when reaching the end :)
keep it up

@kevin-meissner well you have to keep everyone alive by keeping them from the streets ;)

Fun game! I got 5000 something points. It's interesting that there's no penalty for missing beats if you don't swing.

@randomhuman well I thought about adding some detection to it but maybe the strategy of missing some points instead of the possibility to loose the combo is better. I don't know :)

Nice work, wasn't expecting a rhythm game but was pleasantly surprised.
I'd take a look at your input polling though, many times keystrokes seemed to be lost.

Hilarious game, totally didn't expect that it would be rhythm based. I will say that the music seemed to desync on web but you probably can't do much about it. Great work!

Ha-ha, that was fun. The game lagged a bit, but I just missed some punches. The gameplay is quite monotonous, but addictive (if you like rhythm gameы, of course). The graphics look nice.

I've updated the game a little bit with some object pooling (this resulted with 2x fps for me) + made Windows, Mac and Linux builds for download. Have fun everyone!

Lol, that was fun! Sometimes not reading the game entry can make it better. I went in not expecting a rhythm game so that was a pleasant surprise. I've seen a lot of topical games this LD but this might be my favorite.

Definitely one way to do a rhythm game, lol
I would include some sort of penalty for missing, for sure. It was weird having almost a damage effect happening when you messed up but no actual penalty other than perhaps a lower score.

The flashing was a bit distracting, and I kinda expected to be able to go left and right which was disappointing. The graphics and music were great though!

Fun, clearly these lockdown disobeying dancers had it coming to them.

Hilarious concept. I enjoyed it, though I had to rely more on visuals since the song was offbeat~ I had about 20k points.

Neat, I wish the music was a bit tighter and that there was more variety it got really repetitive. Otherwise it seemed reasonably polished, decent bit of screen shake that worked well. Decent little rhythm game.

Nice game, very topical and had a guitar hero kind of feel to it.

I can imagine this to be real good with just few adjustments. Can't really see the theme. Also there is no penalization for not jumping... It would be great to have some failure state in the game as well as some win condition. Nevertheless good job! I really love the idea!

I don't have a fast enough PC so the music/movement were a bit out of sync, but great concept and hilarious noises. :laughing:

Some variation in oof, and maybe a different sound for fail ( and a penalty , win+lose screen) would be cool.

Omg a rhytm game xD I was so surprised. I love it! I especially loved the long people waves, I was even moving a little on my chair when slapping them with my stick (hm. I've never expected myself to write such a sentence.)
