Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“RHYTHMIC blends two distinct genres: VR Rhythm and Tower Defense. While the core gameplay is fully playable from start to finish, the content volume needs to be increased and the difficulty progression needs adjustments. Balancing a strategy game mixed with the physical action of VR is complex. I want to use Early Access to fine-tune the enemy strength, spell power, and song mappings based on real player feedback to ensure the final release feels fair and rewarding.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I am targeting a short Early Access period of less than 6 months. The goal is not to stay in development forever, but to polish the existing experience for the 1.0 release.”

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

“The full version will feature polished song mappings, balanced progression curves, and a wider wider variety of content. Depending on player feedback and time constraints, I plan to add a 'Launch Content Pack' which may include several additions to songs, maps, enemy variants, and extra customization options to round out the experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is stable and feature-complete. It currently includes:
* 9 Playable Songs
* 3 Unique Maps with different enemy types each with their own abilities
* global leaderboards for each song/difficulty combination
* 1 companion type (the tree stumps Drog & Bog)
* 5 achievements
* 4 unlockable customizations
All core mechanics are in place. You can play the game from start to finish right now.”

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

“The price may increase slightly upon full release to reflect the added polish and any final content included in the 1.0 update. Buying now ensures the lowest price.”

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

“I will be active on my discord server to gather feedback on difficulty spikes, power balance, and rhythm mapping. Please consider joining if you have any kind of constructive feedback. Since this is a solo-developed passion project, I am looking to make the specific mechanics shine.”
