Gameplay

A sword fight you can dance to.

A glowing blade in your hand, a giant robot in front of you and a beat that doesn’t let up. Swing with the music and send everything it throws right back.

  1. 01

    Slash on the beat

    The boss fires to the music, and every swing of your blade sends its shots flying back. Turrets explode, armor flies off and the boss comes apart around you.

  2. 02

    Finish with a quickdraw

    When the music stops, the boss opens up. Wait for the flash, draw, and bring it down with one fast strike.

  3. 03

    Easy to start, fun to master

    You’ll finish your first song on your first try. Then you’ll want an A, then an S, then the same song on Hard.

The bosses

14 giant robots. 8 stages.

Every song brings a new giant robot to take apart: a steel hand the size of a building, a spider, a pipe organ with guns. You’ll fight them on eight stages among the stars.

Screenshots

Captured in the current build.

  • A PERFECT cut in the chorus: the green and white flash at TRIAD's heart

  • The chorus: bolts in the lanes, a cut landing

  • Two turrets destroyed at the verse's end

  • The quickdraw: the core's flash, the blade in the ring

  • SANDGLASS in the Sluice (Headway)

  • NETTLE over the Floe (Brine)

  • TOCCATA on the Nightline (Night Shift)

  • GAUNT under the Eclipse (Last Bell)

  • The results: BOSS DESTROYED, the grade and the score (grade A: no pilot reaches S; human seeds 1 to 4 score 78 to 80%, sloppy 0.2 scores 82.2%, and plain autoplay is perfect, SS)
