How it feels

A laid-back rhythm adventure that feels like wandering through a dreamy, low-stakes world set to your own beat.

What players say

Players praise the unique blend of rhythm and roguelike elements, noting the addictive "one more run" feel from placing notes that loop during battles. They compare it to Peglin or Slay the Spire mixed with Guitar Hero. Some wish for more zones and relics, and a few ask for an arachnophobia mode.
