Wait for It... by beats

[raw]
made by beats for Ludum Dare 50 (JAM)

It's 2012 and EDM is cool again but the crowd isn't. Punch anyone in the crowd that approaches your turntables.

They are not cool!

Will you stave off the annoying crowd before the beat inevitably drops?

Rockin beat - Made by me

Controls:

Hold Left Click to punch R to Restart

Try to get to the end of the song with fewer injuries as possibletest.gif

Version 1.1 (Added during jam) -Death ending and sound effects added

Not really sure how I delayed the inevitable, but I thoroughly enjoyed the game

Doesn't really fit the theme, but great game, with great music!

Great music, had few minutes of fun with your game, not really much else, though. I think the punching mechanic needs to be improved, right now it's just flailing madly and you win. But you can have decent fun with it still so thanks, gg!

I wonder if you made this track yourself or not? Cause if you did I want to give a higher score on audio.

Very simple, but fun little game. Cool feeling when the beat kicks and you punsh the crowd to the beat!

The music is cool! But the gameplay has no end so it doesn't fit the theme and also has no purpose... But it's still fun to play and I enjoyed it. Nice work ^^

@solanumteam Did you play the song until the end, not sure what you mean by "gameplay has no end."

I would of like this game more if the player was tasked with mixing on the decks as well as punching because as it currently is, it's very easy to just go back and forth cheesing the game, nice entry though, congrats to finishing

@kylazaur Yeah fair call. I had an idea for more music-centric gameplay, but due to audio sync issues, I started from scratch on the last day. At least you were swinging your fist to some sick jams!

Very cool little game and some very sick beats!! The anticipation to the drop was done very well. I wish there would've been some cool down on the punch as you could just hold it down the whole time, but it had me smiling the whole time

The music dropping in felt really good, and the aesthetic gave it a creepy vibe. I enjoyed it!

even tho its short i really liked the game and it fits the theme well. the soundtrack and art matched the energy of the game and i really liked how the music is ur own, u did a good job on it! the beat drop was so nice and satisfactory.
if u ever revisit this project it would be nice having to multitask in the game so u dont win easily by just spamming punches nonstop.
great game i had fun!

The artstyle is really simple but it's cool because communicates well with the game. The soundtrack is really amazing and the website combines with the game so it looks really the black and white art.

Thanks so much for this amazing experience, I had a blast playing your game.

I wish there were more difficult levels if you could do it after the Ludum Dare it would be really cool :D

Cool game, I have completed it)
I don't understand why some commentros texted that this game doesn't fit to the theme. For me that game about trying to delay decreasing of EDM popularity)
But gameplay haven't any challenges. So I was holding mouse botton and moved across screen. It is quite simple. But if you add for example that player should play EDM by keyboard or maybe you should move arm under music machine to play edm - it will be better!
But still nice try!)

I agree with the person above me. It would've been a nice challenge if you somehow had to play the music yourself using mouse of keyboard, and in the meanwhile stop approaching people.

Anyway, nice game, and I like how the audio set the mood!

Easy to walk into and just bash a few heads, and that is where the fun is at. i think maybe as you might 'level up' your hand could get smaller and be harder to push the crowd away

Simple and attractive game. But after a while it gets boring.

The audio was great :) I feel like there's some potential here for a more challenging game, if you were to keep working on it after Ludum Dare.
