This is so cool! I stumbled across this while researching dungeon crawler mechanics and this is just amazing. I wished I could do something like that one day - good work!
Stage 6 and onwards seem to be really laggy for me for some reason, to the point where I can't complete Stage 8 because I can't kill the enemies.
Hmm can't seem to get the second stage's rhythm right
It can help to keep an eye on the health and damage indicators, they dance in time with the music :)
fun :)
