What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I tried to design more than 30 kinds of music elements for the game, but the completeness and fun of some of them still did not meet my requirements, so I only released some levels with relatively complete experience, and the rest of the gameplay will be released after it is gradually improved. The completed parts include
1. Rhythm skills: triplets, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, dotted notes
2. Drum set, heavy beats and light beats, time signature syncopation.
3. MIDI files converted into rhythmic bars.

Parts that remain to be completed
1. Long notes and rests
2. Accompaniment
3. Past notes, appoggiatura, overlapping notes, and free notes
4. Improvisation
5. Composition
6. Combination of rhythmic patterns, special rhythmic patterns of various ethnic groups.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It will last about half a year to a year.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to add a large number of levels, different styles of music, more skills and upgrade routes, as well as the combination and attack skills between heroes in the full version.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The development of the Early Access version is a difficult challenge, and I have been preparing for it for a long time. I have been developing it alone. I hope someone can see the charm of this type of game and join me in the subsequent development.

At present, the Early Access has all the features I want in this game, including:

1. Play rhythms and superimpose rhythm patterns on melodies and chords

2. Heroes can launch powerful attacks as they play.

3. Imitate the works of music masters to imitate and create

4. Convert MIDI music into easy-to-play music and convert it into the characters' attack skills.

5. Players' self-created music can be exported as MIDI files.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“After the preemptive experience, the price will rise by 80%,”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I hope to receive feedback from users on the gameplay, operation, and favorite music style. I will establish a QQ group and community, so that players can join the group to participate in the discussion.”

About This Game

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
