Rhythm of the World by Ghuyajil

[raw]
made by Ghuyajil for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

You have an especially powerful gun, but it only works if you fire along with the rhythm of the world: the right type of projectile on the right note. If you hit the wrong note your gun will jam.

And to make things worse: every 10 seconds a new pattern of music starts, getting more and more intense; all the while more and more enemies will come at you.

I only had about 8-ish hours total to make something by myself, so it's more of a proof of concept than a full game.

Enjoy! (Beware: it may be hard, ymmv, not really tested ;) )

I like the idea of this game. But I am not a good player in this kind of game.
It feels like both hands are playing separately throughout this game.

I'd like to review your game but it seems the download server is down at the moment. I cannot reach the download links at all :(
