Excellent rhythm shooter that takes BPM: Bullets Per Minute and sprinkles some Enter the Gungeon into it. Lots of item and weapon synergies, kickass music, and a neat free-styling mechanic. Super fun, no complaints. 10/10

The game is Fun while it lasts. the games strongest suit tho isnt exactly its music based roguelike but its trials. it felt like mario maker levels of challenge. although platforming is not its strongest suit tho, I always fall into pitfalls but the trial challenges are clever on its own. Missed opportunity tho for trials to unlock normal items besides active items for your future runs. I love that it has custom music although you need a free account to be able to implement your custom music. there seems to be a bug where the tile appearing tempo is just wrong. Also the game is unusually short. Weapons too lack a bit more oomph and probs needs a description before you pick it up. I feel like the items are not as varied as I thought maybe I havent done enough runs so I'll do just that.
I've played for close to three hours now and really like the game, it's addicting in a fantastic way. The builds indeed have cool synergies and randomness, giving each playthrough it's own fun flavors and making lots of room for replayability. The songs are bangers and the stakes feel very real. So far I've made it to the Princess boss a few times and died each time, but I'm getting better each run. The fast paced trials were also super fun, still need to play a bit more to unlock more of them. So TLDR; definitely recommended and well worth the money! Ps. Played with a steam deck with my partner and it worked perfectly for both of us.
I had very good time on my first session. The trials were interesting and something I haven't in other roguelikes I have played. At the start those were really difficult but since the restartting is so fast, it was a fun challenge to try to get the best rating. There's plenty of challenge if you like difficult games and the main game seemed to also have multiple difficulties.
Really vibing with this one. The action feels almost like free form dancing.
What an awesome indie game. Fast, rhythm-based gameplay and killer soundtrack create an addictive experience. Give it a try, you won't regret it!
Feels like a game which you can sit back and relax after a workday for a game or two like "vampire survivors" but different. Game said about controller but felt nice with mouse and keyboard. Challenge feels increasing in good pace also. Price feels right 👍. Looking forward to play more few times a day/week when I have time.
Beautiful game! Really enjoying the artstyle of this game. Music and sounds 5/5! Been playing couple times after release (steam for some reason not counting the offline hours??). Also with the offer the value ratio is awesome. Super addicting in a good way and love how u start to learn ur favorite builds bit by bit. Great job! Would recommend 💕✨ Ps. Playing this with steamdeck and runs perfect!
Only played for a bit so far, but what a cool game and atmosphere. Definitely planning to play more.
Haven't had much time to play yet but got one solid run in and it was more fun than I expected. Gunplay feels good, shooting/reloading on the beat feels super satisfying. Nice variety of enemies and weapons, the art is decent, bosses were challenging and the music was surprisingly good. I've not even had a chance to get in to the trials or additional passive yet, I'll be spending more time on this one than I originally thought. For the price, I recommend it. Can easily see a good few hours of fun out of this
