ReMix

[h1]Its just sort of okay, I can't recommend because the [b]game feels very unfinished.[/b][/h1] if you can get past a lot of the shortcomings which i feel lots of people wont be able to pass up. There is a [b]lot of jank[/b] that is usually polished out before a final release, such as: [list] [*]There is very few soundfx-At first I thought this was to make focusing on the beat easier but without little noises for things like ui elements, hitting enemies, enemy projectiles and even most your attacks it leaves the game feel very empty [*]Even tho there is a way to offset the beat (which is good!) I realised pretty much straight away that whenever you get an upgrade between waves the backing track you tap along too can drift off the bpm/tapping track. Which means while you might be tapping along to the beat the game's logic will say you are off. You can also break the UI by hitting the first note perfectly and continuing which results to the rhythm bar glitching out. [*]UI is very buggy and all over the place, many elements haven't been scaled properly (some very large elements and then some very small elements with small text), pause screen is seems oddly incomplete [*]Controls are fixed and default mapping (standard Xbox Series controller) is broken on current version and doesn't seem to have any pause button. [*]A lot of the gameplay design makes the game feel quite unfair as in mechanics weren't tested in-game first before being added as a full release. move speed for most characters is often too slow to dodge bullets and jumping characters will often land you into a bullet or bounce you off a wall into an enemy-Which you can't even tell where your hitbox will likely land before making a jump [*]No way to recognise the map as a grid, most of your characters in the game move in a grid however the grid is not very easy to identify which lead to my experience being a lot of bouncing into walls when I wanted to squeeze past enemies [*]Merging seems like a core mechanic and doesn't seem to be explained anywhere [*]The wave formula breaks the flow of gameplay completely, this is incredibly frustrating because when you finally get on rythm the game kicks you out and says "time to upgrade" regardless if you want to or not. To remedy this all you'd need to do is not pause the gameplay and perhaps spawn overlay the upgrades and reward the player by having prices reduced if you upgrade along to the beat and have the upgrades be simple taps like option 1,2,3,4 [*]While the game can be hard at times runs usually end quite quickly which doesn't allow a decent time to rampup the players power throughout a run. Just before/Soon as you have a good setup the game will end [/list] I like the concept but there is just so much more that could of been polished up before releasing which means the game feels incredibly uncooked and rather weightless of feedback and empty, the art in the game is beautiful but the actual programming underneath everything feels rather amateur.
