Rhythm Land

Test your sense of rhythm by hitting buttons to the beat in a variety of groovy games! Skateboard, sing, cook, battle, and more with good timing.

Made for GB Compo 21.

Unfortunately, this game is lacking in polish, and isn't quite what we had imagined it would be. Because of that, this game may see continued development after the compo (but no promises!). We hope it's currently in at least a decent state!

WARNING! v1.0.0 of the game (state as of the compo deadline) has some bugs. They will hopefully be fixed soon.

Playing the Game

To play, download the Game Boy ROM image file named 'rhythm-land.gb'. It can be written to a cartridge to play on real hardware or run in emulators such as SameBoy, bgb, Emulicious, or others. Being a game designed for the DMG, it will run on all Game Boy models.

Note that there may be some delay when playing in an emulator for various reasons, such as audio latency or input latency. Look into those things if you're having an issue. Sorry, but it's not our fault!
