Off Beat (GMTK 2025 Demo)
this game is not meant to be fully understood when u start. part of the game is learning how the system works. it's a bad strategy for the game jam but i refuse to explain it. ask other people who have played this game! look through the jam posts they might have some useful info. i probably could teach it better but what i have should TECHNICALLY teach u so please try to figure it out!!

SUPA HOT FIYA
Great Game!
Super cool! I love how it came out and how you can kind of feel out the puzzles through the music. Great work.
Woah this mechanic is so interesting! Took a while to figure out but when it clicked it was really fun to play with. And getting syncopated/offbeat rhythms sounded sooo goood!! Great work :D
Some of the elements I didn’t understand super well and the character was a bit hard to time right to hit the beats (idk if this is cuz of some input delay or making it move on the beat in the right way), but it was fun nonetheless!
HI SOUREN THANKS FOR PLAYING AHHHH!! i'm so glad it clicked for u thats the moment that i try to create in my games!!
I'll leave a comment here as well (also left in the GMTK submission page), but this is incredibly cute and fun to play. Very creative take on the loop theme.
At one point I was just moving around finding the groove LOL really nicely done.
thank u sm!! i do the same thing sometimes. lowk wanted to add a sandbox level builder with like a bunch of different sounds for people but didnt have the time.
Very good
truly? 0.0
This is hands down one of the most unique ways to utilize rhythm in puzzle games! I really enjoy the puzzles not being too complex with a little bit of observation and trial & error
THANK U SM!! im glad you enjoyed it!
fun game, with cool level design, can't wait to see more puzzles added for the future
THANK U YAYAYAYA i am excited to make more puzzles myself ehehe
