How it feels
A cheerful, bouncy action-adventure where you liberate districts by moving to the music, with a forgiving rhythm system that keeps things playful.

What players say
Players love the rhythm-based combat and the electro soundtrack, calling it a fresh take on the genre. The writing gets consistent praise for humor and charm. Some find it less punishing than Crypt of the Necrodancer, and a few wish for an audio-visual offset slider. The game is not very long but offers a satisfying loop of dodging and attacking on beat.
