- - - INCOMING TRANSMISSION - - -

WE COULD NOT STOP THEM. THE ENTITIES HAVE LEVELLED THE OUTER CITY AND REACHED THE DOME. THEY APPEAR TO BE DRAWN TO THE RADIANCE OF THE M3TRON0ME. IT IS TOO LATE TO DISCONNECT IT... BUT WE CAN STILL USE ITS POWER TO SAVE OURSELVES. YOU ARE OUR ONLY HOPE.

- - - HOW TO PLAY - - -

  • HOLD THE SPACE BAR (OR LEFT MOUSE BUTTON) TO CHARGE THE CANNON AND RELEASE TO FIRE.
  • THE CANNON CAN ONLY BE FIRED IF ALL 3 CORES ARE ACTIVATED. A CORE IS REFILLED AT THE EDGE OF EACH ROTATION.
  • CHARGING WILL OVERHEAT THE CANNON. IF THE CANNON IS CHARGED TOO LONG, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY FIRE.
  • SURVIVE. KILL MULTIPLE ENTITIES AT ONCE TO INCREASE YOUR SCORE.

CREATED FOR THE 1-BUTTON JAM 2024!

Hello everyone! it's been a bit since I posted a game on here! I've been very hard at work on a larger project that I really hope to one day share with you all. Thank you to Feldo for hosting this game jam - I was recently feeling pretty burnt out between my big project, many scrapped projects, and just that I hadn't released a project for a while in general and this jam was exactly what I needed to get something out there in the world. It is a jam game so it is a bit rough around the edges, but I'm incredibly proud of what I was able to create this week and all of the neat stuff I learned. This is probably the last game I will release this year - so I hope you have a happy and safe holiday season! Until next time!

this was really cool!! 46300 here after a few tries. I really like how it sounds like hard bass lmao

Great score!! And thank you!!! The world needs more games with hard bass soundtracks IMO so I'm glad I could do my part hahaha

By far the best finished-looking entry that I saw on this jam, congratulations!


I love the idea of a metronome defending the city against aliens with hardstyle, really cool concept :D


I think its difficulty could be improved a bit, but I only got to 27600 so maybe there is more content further


Great game ^^

Wow, thank you!! That's a very nice compliment!

I have to agree: I had a few ideas for making the difficulty scaling a bit better or perhaps including some power-ups (BTW, if you made it to that high of a score you've seen everything the game currently has to offer). Ultimately my grander plans fell through due to the limited time I had to work on this during the jam but who knows - maybe I'll go back and add some of those extra goodies in if I find myself with some free time!

Thank you for playing!!

Dont worry, even without the powerups this is a fantastic game


Thank you for creating this :)

Awesome game!! Super stylistic and heavy with a unique main concept. Very tough game for sure, my high score is 20700 so far but I bet with a good pattern I could get it a lot higher. Thanks for posting it and rly looking forward to playing your bigger project eventually!!


EDIT: new high score is 58100

EDIT: 60500

Thank you, and nice score!! Glad to hear you're looking forward to it - stay tuned!!

Wow the atmosphere you created is just amazing, all the game elements fit together really well and it feels very polished. The sounds were really good at creating the stressful environment. Definitely gonna check out some of your other projects

Thank you for playing!!! :)
