About the Game

Demo

I have always had an idea to adapt MIDI music into a game, so I started learning how to program and make games.

So I incorporated some elements of music performance into the fighting game, such as music skills.

At present, the early access has all the features I want in this game, including:

1. There are various rhythm patterns in the music, as well as special split beat rhythms. Such as SWING, triplets, sixteenth notes, dotted notes.

2. The rhythm patterns of drums and light and heavy rhythms.

The following content will be updated in the official version

1. Characters with various music combos

2. MIDI music can be imported and directly converted into levels.

3. Players create a motive and develop it into a complete genre of music

4. Imitate the works of music masters for imitation creation

5. Improvise interesting themes with different modes and rhythm patterns
