Exorcist Pianist
Your mind is haunted by demons. They are SUMMONED by your subconsciousness. Fight them with music.
A typing game with a musical twist, about beating your inner demons by playing the piano. Made within 72 hours for Ludum Dare 55 with the theme "Summoning".
How to Play
- Fight your inner demons by playing the piano. When a demon appears, play the sequence to destroy it.
- You gradually become less sane (red bar below the piano), keep that bar low by destroying demons!
- Survive long enough to beat the game!
- Jam when you win or lose, so you win either way!
Controls
- Numpads 0-9 / Numbers 0-9 to play a sequence.
- You can use A-; instead of numbers, but it's not recommended.
- You can also use a Midi Controller **If it's not working on the web, please download the game.
- Press 'C' to toggle the CRT effect.
Credits

It works with my MIDI keyboard, but it’s also showing me that I might want to practice more often. Anyway, I’m commenting because I wish there were more games on itch.io that actually incorporated MIDI controls like this. Great concept and execution!
That's awesome, thank you! I'd definitely love to expand more on the 'educational' aspect of the game. I need to practice more often, too 😂
hands down one of the most original rythm games I played
Wow that's awesome to hear! Glad you found the game unique. 😎
Your game is very original. I love this.
Glad to hear you love the game! 😁 Thanks for playing
Took me a few different play sessions and some practice, but I finally beat this! I can't comment on the music as I've admittedly been playing during class time where I should be taking notes, but the gameplay is really fun. I encourage you to follow through on the post-jam update if that's something you're considering!
Glad to hear you enjoyed the game! I definitely want to make a post-jam update for the game with improved music and enhanced gameplay. I currently have other projects I'm focused on but I believe I'll get back to this one eventually! Feel free to leave suggestions 💪
i really like the gameplay for this -- i thought i would need to hit the keys multiple times for each demon but once i got the hang of it i nearly got to 2 minutes!
I actually thought about adding chords to the game, but it totally out of scope haha
i love the "freestyle to restart"
Glad to hear! I thought it was a neat idea, so glad I managed to put that in the game 😎
very unique
🤩
Nice unique concept to this game. Short and fun!
Thanks 🤩
Really liked the concept, and the game was really reactive too. Great job putting it together within 72 hours!
I read your post-mortem and you pretty much covered most of the feedback I was going to share x) Looking forward to the post-jam update if you plan to work on one!
Thank you!
I'm definitely thinking about a post-jam update! 😎🎹
Such a neat idea to create enemies that need music to be destroyed, the added lore fits so well, this is awesome!
my pb:
Thanks, glad you liked it! 🎹
