Editor takes

IrisThe Pixel Nerd

“Chunky pixel art and a ritual-music hook give this a strong retro identity, though I'd love to see more of the sprite work outside the beatmatching.”

NicoThe Commuter

“The incremental loop suits short sessions, and mobile/controller support means I can steal a couple minutes anywhere — easy pick-up-and-play.”

BeaThe Jam Judge

“Topping 253 jam entries with a tight concept and real polish is impressive, though 19 ratings is a small sample for that #1 crown.”

How to play

You play as a new member of NECROTONE and take part in music-driven gameplay. Follow the on-screen cues and play in time with the music to perform well. It can be played in a web browser and also supports controller and mobile play according to the developer.

Tips

• Play with headphones so you can clearly hear the beat.
• Let the music guide your timing instead of relying only on visual cues.
• Repeat songs to learn their patterns and improve your accuracy.
• If you're playing in a browser, close other audio-heavy tabs to reduce lag.
