Cadence Crisis - Ludum Dare 55 by AllDee
👉 Note :
This game was created during "Ludum Dare 55" in just 72 hours by a team of five friends, all united around the theme "Summoning".
It's a cross between a rhythm game and a tower defense game, set in a post-apocalyptic universe where artificial intelligence has taken control of the entire world and eradicated humanity...
But not all humans have disappeared! You play the role of the last survivor, confronted by a gigantic AI boss who evaluates your musical performance to ensure your survival.
The boss will punish your mistakes by "summoning" his henchmen to eliminate you.
In this game, the drums are your weapon and your shield. Every note you play with precision strengthens your defenses, while wrong notes will summon more monsters in every wave of the game.
Keep up the rhythm, string together chords with precision and resist the constant attacks of the AI, all the while hoping to reach a level of performance sufficient to survive. At the end of each round, you can buy turrets to defend yourself against the monsters !
▶️ Cadence Crisis has three different phases :
1 - The Rythm : Don't miss any button ! That's the way you can have gold. If you miss the next wave will be difficult ! (INPUTS : DFJK)
2 - The Turret Placement : You can move in the area and purchase some turret to defend yourself in the next phase. (INPUTS : E to buy Turret / For your movement you need to use your directional arrows on your keyboard )
3 - The Attack : All the mobs are summoned by the AI ( in the screen ) and attack you ! You need turrets to defend yourself !

In general, it's quite atmospheric
You can move around with the arrow keys and press "e" near the little cylinders to buy turrets :)
EDIT: ohhhh the platform things! I missed them completely and was trying to place turrets at the swirly portals
Keep up the great work!
S/O to this really nice tuto : https://youtu.be/ev0HsmgLScg?feature=shared
How to make a rhythm game in Unity ( using MIDI ) by SkyanSam
I might try it later when I have more time to play.
As a drummer, I suggest to use a rythm control for the songs (for example, one button for the bass durm, other for the snare, another for toms and other for cymbals for example) although it could be tricky to play with haha
It's only a suggestion but the game is already pretty cool
Congrats!
I think it would be an improvement, if the message wouldn't just say "Press P to start next round" but instead what the player will actually do in the next round. E.g. "Press P to start jamming", "Press P to place turrets" and "Press P to defend against the enemies". I imagine that could help understand the game loop in the first playthrough and what you are supposed to do. Also, the turret spots could be highlighted in some way. I walked to the portals first in search of a place to put my turret and only then realized that there were designated places for them.
But, as I said, great job from all of you! :)
Side note: as someone with the first name Cadence, I feel moved to give this game the Cadence seal of approval, as it kept randomly giving me Katy Perry's hit 2010 pop tune California Gurls ft. Snoop Dogg, which was both unforgettable AND undeniable.
Anyway, love art&music, rhytm phase is fun, even if it seems out of sync for me.
I really liked the opportunity to walk and equip the base.
I will be waiting for your game to become popular))
