Watch the Developer Play
I am streaming Tied to the Beat here on the store page for the next two weeks.
Five years of solo development, and the whole thing runs on lyrics. Every word that plays changes what happens on screen. FIRE rains flames. FREEZE locks enemies in place.

Out July 31 in Early Access. 3.99 USD for the first two weeks, 20% off the regular 4.99.
