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

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! 🎹
