i would love to see more rhythm rogue likes after playing this game-- its aesthetic and intuitive, and the references to zombie media made me smile 

okay, got here from another one of Ralph's games but this is really really so good and play make more of it. There's something so cool when you get into a rhythm (literally) and don't have to look at the interface - kinda like closing your eyes while playing guitar. Really cool experience, great aesthetic and music especially, hope to see more!

Thanks for the kind words and sorry for the late reply. Glad you enjoyed it.

Really well done! Only real issue being that the zombies stop spawning during the "kill more zombies" phase, but this is a really well-made gamejam game. Love the music, love the art, love the twin-stick rhythm game concept!
