About This Game

RICOCHORD is a roguelite about bouncing orbs. You move and aim, your orbs fire on their own, and they ricochet through the static until they come back to you. Each hit plays a note of the chord the song is on, in time with the beat, and a chain of hits climbs the chord.

• A run is one track: 12 waves, some minibosses and a final boss - Roughly 5 minutes

• Static steps down the pit on beat. Static that crosses the red line breaches and drains your Amp

• Static and bosses shoot back, so watch out

• Destroyed Static drops notes. Collect them for XP. Each level up offers 3 cards: a new orb, an orb upgrade, a pedal or a fusion

• 15+ kinds of Static march down the pit, and stage Monitors stand among them. Elite Static has 2.5 times the health but drop goodies...

• 10+ orbs with 3 levels each

• Two orbs at max level fuse into one of 10+ fusions, such as Shatterflame (Ember and Frost) or Hydra (Pulse and Prism).

• 10 total bosses with plans to introduce many more

• Hush is shown below

• 5 tracks with each having its own soundtrack and mix of static enemies

• Each track has a Tempo level 1-5 which increases difficulty in various ways

• Each Tempo level pays 20% more Resonance and Gold Notes

• Runs pay Resonance. Spend it in the Mixer

• Bosses pay Gold Notes. Spend them on Tapes, each changing one rule of a run

• 6+ conductors, each with a starting orb and a perk

• The Daily Setlist: one seeded run a day with the same track, conductor, mini bosses and one of 8 modifiers for every player, a fixed Mixer and a Steam leaderboard for each day

• After the final boss, play on into the Encore: endless waves that each add 1 Volume, with a mini boss back every 4th wave

• Mouse and keyboard, or a controller in every menu and in play

• Auto aim, a trajectory preview, separate volume for music, sound effects and orb hit notes, and settings for screen shake and screen flashes
