Many, many hours were spent making the engine accurate (Flash is not a good choice for millisecond accuracy. Most of the work believe it or not was making the engine precise enough to be playable.

I've been working on this on and off for two summers now. This means many people don't even realise their rhythm is a little off until they play Rhythm Heaven.

Rhythm Doctor is a tough ONE-BUTTON rhythm game heavily inspired by Rhythm Heaven!įor those who haven't played Rhythm Heaven, the defining feature of the series is the extremely strict margin of error, compared to any other music game out there. Made me smile all the way through! Thanks BluBerryGamer It has a resonance to it that most flash games don't." - Clumpy "You've really nailed that quirky Japanese game sort of personality, that often really quirky and surreal sense of humor with a gentle sort of grounding to it. (.) Rhythm is in everything, and I'm glad the developers found it in medicine."

"The base mechanic and premise of Rhythm Doctor are gold for me. "a rad Rhythm Paradise-esque browser game (.) sadistically difficult." Those looking to fix their internal rhythm can try the game on PC, Mac, iOS, Android, and soon on the Nintendo Switch.Current WIP level in second link: "Steinway" prototype, an acoustic piano song recorded in the studio of Churchill College, Cambridge. While Rhythm Doctor doesn’t have popular music you may be used to, tunes ranging from simple beats counting out time in Chinese to original scores made for the game were catchy, and I’d find myself tapping out (what I hope was) the seventh beat while across the hall waiting for my turn to tackle other games at the convention. Certain levels asking you to internalize two beats at the same time, which don’t initially synch up, is even more demanding. I’m not generally used to a music game trying to test my internal beat, but once I was told to focus on internalizing the beat, it became easier. As the level progresses, these not only start to disappear, but become replaced by distractions. Like a good lesson plan in school, the levels start out teaching you where the seventh beat is with consistent music and on-screen indications. What stood out to me, however, is that you’re supposed to do this despite distractions from the game’s screen and music glitching out. The game is fairly simple in concept: tap the right button on the seventh beat. However, I was a bit surprised at how difficult it was for me to walk away from Rhythm Doctor at IndieCade 2017. I used to play the drums before my carpal tunnel got in the way, so you’d think these would click with me more, but aside from mini-games, they don’t.
