Making a new projectile for this "Smile" enemy. It grows with each beat and follows the player. When it is big enough it shoots towards the player.

We are working on game balance!
One of the changes we're testing impacts the accuracy of the special ability.

Harmonizing the heart and mind is the key to bringing peace to one's self.

Are you in Harmony?

A really interesting concept, I don't fully understand the game from the trailer but I'll give it a try!

Would you survive a panic attack? Test your limits in this anxiety-inducing twin-stick shooter! 💓

The higher the BPM, the stronger, faster the Intrusive Thoughts become and higher will be the points you get.
