Hey everyone, just a little update on what's coming soon. Thanks to all your suggestions and feedback, I'm currently working on a scanner feature to make reordering products easier, hoping to get it ready in a week or two. It will be a mid-late game feature that requires certain amount of money to unlock.

On a different note, I'm happy to share that all the plushies are fully funded, thank you so much to everyone who bought one and supported the campaign! Honestly, I originally just wanted the plushies for myself and my family, so for the 15% profit share from the Makeship plushies, I’ll be donating it all to charity. Big thanks to Makeship as well for making such cute Tetramon plushies and turning this into a reality!



Hope to finish the update soon, stay tuned!

Hello everyone!
We are excited to share that the demo version of "404 Rhythm Unleashed" is now available!
This is an indie rhythm-action game, with core gameplay focusing on precise Tik points and flow experience.

Core Features:

• Precise Tik Points: Rhythm cues are almost perfectly synced with the music, providing a smooth flow experience.

• Adjustable Input Latency: Players can adjust button timing according to their devices for more accurate rhythm gameplay.

Friendly Notice:

• This demo mainly showcases the core gameplay; some enemies, boss skills, and animations are not fully polished yet.

• Some sound effects may be temporarily missing, as the game is primarily developed by a single person. They will be gradually added in upcoming demo updates.
  We hope you can understand!

Upcoming Plans:

• The demo will continue to be updated, adding missing audio, improving animations and boss skills, and including more content.

• We will continue to refine the experience based on player feedback.

Thank you for your support and patience! Please enjoy the demo and share your feedback with us.

It’s been almost a month since the last update, and I haven’t been able to make as much progress as I would’ve hoped to. My available time to dev has been slashed due to external factors, and progress will be a bit slower, but I still have a lot of content I want to add, so don’t worry about me dropping the game or anything like that!

The update fixes some critical issues and adds new effects, new equipment, and new QoL features!

A huge thanks to everyone playing and supporting the game. I really appreciate you all.
