Instructions
At the start of a match, and after you are defeated in Death Match, you will drop down from the sky floating on your Half-Rest Parachute. When you hit the ground, you will want to quickly find a guitar out in the world. Pay attention to the color, as it indicates both rarity and power level. The rarities and corresponding colors are:
Rarity | Color |
Beginner | White |
Talented | Green |
Semi-Professional | Blue |
Professional | Purple |
Rock Star | Gold |
When you pick up a guitar, you will be able to hold your own in a musical melee. Hold right click and keep your reticule trained on an enemy until your reticule changes colors from red to green. Press Q to enter the rhythm game and start the Beat Down!
You will notice two things when you enter the rhythm game:
1. your camera will lock on to the opponent you targeted
2. Your reticule will have changed to a crosshair with four uniquely colored wings.
When the music starts, notes will come in from the sides of the screen and move towards the center of your screen. Move your mouse to the quadrant of the approaching note and hit left click when the note converges on the fin of the matching color. At the top of your reticule, you will see feedback on your timing. Aim for perfect timing, as that does the most damage to your opponent.
Beware! Once you commit to a fight, you better be ready to finish it! You can press Q while you are in the Rhythm Game to bail out early, but you will take 20% of your health as damage as a result.

For the optimal experience, we recommend playing the Windows executable version of the game.
Actually lmao the windows exe somehow got messed up between exporting it and uploading it to itch. The only working way to play the game is with the web version on a chromium based browser.
