quadrant

This is a fun and simple game, within interesting visuals and cool music. It's nice to see a new type of rhythm game. However, being a rhythm game enthusiast, there is one thing I can barely bear: [b]Streak scoring.[/b] Your score for each level is your highest streak, meaning that if you miss a single note halfway through the stage (which is almost always the case), you're fated to get a C rank or lower. You could simply chalk this up to difficulty, but missing one note out of five hundred at the wrong time can feel random and unfair. For instance, I'm currently looking at an end screen: 393/399 hit, 92% accuracy. Not bad, right? Nope, it's an E rank. Compounding this, It's difficult to get started in the game because the training system is rather misleading. The Streak training (the default) is [b]NOT[/b] what you would normally see in the game; the Rhythm training is much closer to the actual experience. Once it clicks, though, you'll suddenly be able to beat the first level. One last point of contention is the level editor, or rather, the lack of one. Creating a level basically means creating a Lua script that draws the game board every frame. This allows for very flexible level design, but makes it nearly impossible for someone who doesn't already know how to program to make levels for it. It's no wonder that there's only one level in the workshop, and it's very simple compared to the built-in levels. Despite these flaws, the game itself is quite fun. The mechanics are simple: Look at the small square, and press the corresponding key on the beat that it becomes the big square. As the levels progress, interesting effects are added on which tempt your eyes away from the squares. The music and effects are well chosen, and are definitely worth the difficulty of getting a C rank on the previous level to experience. All in all, a small fun game that's certainly worth $4. I'm designing a level myself and I'm also planning on making a video guide for non-programmers, so maybe we can get that workshop level count up. (Edit: After writing this, I noticed this game is apparently about "human adaptation to strange environments." That's still no excuse for using a terrible scoring metric, Undef.)

this game is awesome! great music and trippy effects hard to keep the focus on the square when the visuals getting sick. :D

The further you get into the songs that the game provides the more it controlls you. ikr spooky. gr8 game tho.

A really good rhythm game! Most rhythm games on steam these days don't actually require you to do anything in time to the music - like AudioSurf or all the twin stick shooters, they just have music as a focal point. This game actually requires you to stick to the beat and keep track of which button to press next amidst a bunch of distractions. And the music is quite good too - there are only three levels, but it has workshop support and you can download more.

Всего 3 уровня, что бы получить 2 и 3, нужно тучу времени убить на 1. Сама игра неплохая, но нужно добавить побольше уровней и целей.

A simple yet captivating game. I find myself launching this game again and again. Ever have those moments where you just get "in the zone" as you face a challenge? This game lets you get there with no neeedless features or set up. Playing Quadrant can be quite meditative. Let the world slip away, and whatever you do, don't break that streak.

[h1]A Minimalist Rythym Game[/h1] https://youtu.be/qjdONhu6t-M + Easy to learn, very hard to master + Relaxing music + Some trippy background effects - A bit too hard for me - Too simplistic, I felt like there should have been more. - lacking content, especially considering I was only able to play 1 song because I sucked so bad Overall though, I enjoyed it for what it was, as I'm a sucker for rythym games.
