An arcade SHMUP where the music is part of the action.

Travel across the virtual zone and defend the core by guiding a pair of starfighters through the shoot 'em up action of Rhythm 'n Bullets. Enemies fly in from all sides, diving towards the core in time with the soundtrack. Time your shots to the beat for maximum effect, and grab awesome power-ups to clear the stage.

Keep the core safe from danger in the multi-level campaign, and then try to top the leaderboards in endless mode, where the enemies never stop! Take a break with our relax mode where you can practice your shooting and experience remixes of the games score!

Features four themes: Tech City, Japanese Garden, Galaxy Zone, and Holiday Forest! Fifth theme coming soon!

Not a rhythm game

It's a shooter. Rhythm won't help you at all, just your aim and your ability to keep switching the colors. Too simple for the price. Not worth the money or your time.

Hi edshigaki,

Thank you for your feedback! Shooting on the beat in the game will increase bullet accuracy as well as fill the multiplier meter faster. In addition, diamond shaped enemies move to the beat and the "mini boss" enemies shoot in time to the music, however you are right, this is not a traditional rhythm game.

If you found the game too easy, we recommend checking out the endless mode!

A unique concept

The gameplay is very reminiscent of the arcade classic space invaders, with the visual trip the synthwave aesthetic provides on top.
Different backgrounds can be unlocked but the songs meant to accompany the experience don't seem to vary, if change at all. Make no mistake though, this is NOT a rhythm game and if you're buying this with those expectations, you're setting yourself for disappointment.

Now, as a VR shooter-esque game, it can be enjoyable for a casual afternoon of gaming if you're seeking to relax and play something more simplistic whilst remaining active, however, be wary, it takes a while until you get there.

The controls felt very counter-intuitive and the introductory tutorial was even more confusing as a whole, having only learned how to play the game properly through self discovery and button smashing.
Once you get the hang of it, it can be a fun and satisfying experience (aside from the weird noise the shields make, that in longer and more challenging sessions, can become bothersome).

The ships replacing your controllers as if they were your hands are a creative idea, but it didn't translate well in size and adjustability, to me personally, though it doesn't affect gameplay.

It has multiple game modes, from campaign (with a beginning and an end) to endless mode (pretty self explanatory). The latter was somewhat confusing however, considering the objects meant to be destroyed weren't randomly spawned, making this more of a creative mode where you select everything yourself than anything else.

Overall, in the current state that it is, I can't recommend this game *at this price*. It lacks too much on content to be worth your money, so I'd aim to get it on promotions, should it drop closer to 5€, at least until there's further development and a substantial increase on customization, as well as a revamp of the tutorial.

Thanks for reviewing the game! We are actively working on revising the tutorial currently, will be adding a challenge mode soon which will add a number of new stages per level, are working on additional themes, and looking into adding different ship skins. The different themes do all have different songs composed for them. It also seems like you may have confused endless and relax mode. In endless mode, you play through infinite spawning enemies trying to get the top score on the leaderboard, whereas in relax mode you are able to control the spawning of enemies. Thanks for playing! We would love to know more specifics about the confusion around the controls and any other feedback you have at admin@dbcreations.studio.

Good game but not my style

I played for about a half hour and couldn't find the drive to keep playing. Not my style, but others may enjoy it.

Keeps you thinking and moving!

Great game. Makes you move and the color changing bullets and shields makes you use your brain as well. Can’t wait for what is next from this dev!
