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

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 ๐Ÿ’ช

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 ๐Ÿ˜Ž

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! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŽน

Such a neat idea to create enemies that need music to be destroyed, the added lore fits so well, this is awesome!
