Rhythm Destruction - Rhythm & Shoot 'Em Up game for PC

Hey everyone

A friend and I have been working on a rhythm/shoot em up(shmup) game called Rhythm Destruction for the past 4 years. We're aiming for release this coming October.

The game plays like a typical shmup, where you control your ship as you maneuver through each stage. The twist however, is that enemies are destroyed with note presses that are synched up to the music(the indicator is similar to elite beat agents).

The game will be released this October for $5 from our website and other various distributors(Desura will probably be one of them).

We've also launched a Kickstarter campaign, and are in the process of trying to get onto steam through Greenlight. If you're interested in supporting us in either avenue we'd really appreciate it ^^

Most of my questions were answered via the FAQ. Overall it looks very well made and seems like a fun game.

**build updated as of Sept 23**

The 2-stage demo is now available!

The playable stages are Dynamo(tier 1) & Esperanza(tier 2). Both of them are fairly basic in the rhythm department. Esperanza ramps up the shmup difficulty a little bit though. An interactive tutorial is also available when first launching the game, which is highly recommended!

Please note that Norton will detect the installer exe as "dangerous" and delete it when you try to run it(so you may have to turn it off while installing).

If you have any feedback, comments or problems with the demo, please let me know! Enjoy

AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA...HAHA...ha...ha...*cough* Sorry.
Too bad I only have access to a Mac at the moment, otherwise I'd be all over this.
Also, Dynamo by Oscillator X and Esperanza by KaW?

Haha. Ya, Norton is a POS, I gave my brother the same treatment

And yes indeed, most of our music is done by Kyle Ward =)

Not directly related to the game, but Norton does seem to be quite paranoid. I have Norton Many of my Stardock apps and widgets are detected as a threat under "SONAR", and gets automatically deleted when running. So i'll hold off on downloading this game until either the issue gets resolved or becomes more complete. Looks fun though!

I hope the game will be sold on Steam, as I already have an account.

If you'd like to play it, It only detects it as dangerous when you're installing it. So if you disable Norton just while you're going to install, it shouldnt cause you any problems after that(just installed it on both my dads and brothers comps, both of whom use norton). I hope we get on Steam too hehe

edit: Updated the build today!
