About the music

The game ships with 50 licensed songs, all cleared, all safe to stream. Every one of them has its lyrics timed, and those lyrics are what drives the combat.

You can also drop in any MP3 you own. The game transcribes it, times the lyrics and turns it into a playable level. That happens entirely on your machine and nothing is uploaded anywhere. If you stream with your own imported music, the rights to that track are yours to sort out, the same as any other footage you put online.

What is in it

  • 8 playable instruments, each with its own weapon and passives

  • 4 maps, 80 enemy types, 45 achievements

  • 1,126 glossary entries driving 4,800 trigger words

  • 31 languages

  • Windows, macOS and Linux, Steam Deck compatible

Why Early Access

I am one person. The game is complete and playable end to end, but I want the people playing it to shape what comes next, and I would rather fix things in public than guess in private.

See you in five hours.
