Steam review snapshots
Let me start off with a couple of qualifications: 1) I’m old as f**k, and thus, my reactions aren’t as fast as…If you want the challenge and satisfaction game-loop of souls-like bosses but in a rhythm game, you'll love this.The gameplay is simple and only uses the arrow keys and spacebar on a keyboard (idk about gamepad inputs).The environments resemble a surreal collision of metal, neon, void, and fractal geometry.Why it fits
Check it if you want action filtered by weird, single-player.
