Rhythm Combat: Festival of Fate

Rhythm Combat: Festival of Fate is a challenging rhythm game. Face your rivals in a rhythm showdown that blends music with classic arcade combat energy!

Current Status:

The project is in active development and you can freely play, create and modify charts, the story is in active development and there's a lot of updates to come. We will notify you when the story mode and the game will be finished and fully launched, currently there's a lot of designing to do too, so the design you see now is close but is not yet final. However, the story is in active development and currently at the writing stage (not planning, already writing it in the game)

  (8 keys in a row + space)

Controls:

Each key has it's own line:

• main 8 keys are [A S D F J K L :]
  (In short, middle section of the keyboard except [G H] and anything after [:] ) 
• wide notes use [SPACE]

Navigation in the menus can be via mouse or via bindings:

• ↑←↓→/WASD: navigation in the menu
• Enter: submit/ok
• Esc: return/cancel

it's in plans to add custom binding ability so you can change it for your preferences!

Notes:

In Rhythm Combat currently there are present these type of notes:

Register	it's not a note but there are 9 registers in game, 8 line registers and 1 wide note register, when the note reaches them you must press the following button for the line the note is on, for wide notes press [ SPACE ], random clicks aren't going to reset your combo, but it's not a guarantee for your victory
Regular notes	press the key of the line the note is on, basic note
Special notes	same mechanics as for a regular note, it's just here for different sound a little bit more points so better not miss them!
Hold notes	hold the note until it's finished, otherwise it will ruin your combo
Wide notes	they function like a regular note but use wide register, line registers are not going to affect this type of note and same goes otherwise, wide register doesn't register any note except wide notes

Feedback is everything!  

After testing, feel free to write a post in our community!
We are excited to hear your thoughts! (Any feedback/criticism/suggestions appreciated!)
