Assists & accessibility
0/4 SOURCEDCHALLENGE RELIEF

- Practice / training mode [unsourced]Lobby training rooms for each enemy type and each boss.
MOTOR & INPUT
- Fully remappable controls [unsourced]
HEARING
- Visualised audio cues [unsourced]An on-screen beat bar so the rhythm is fully playable with sound off.

What it is
A roguelike dungeon crawler in which every move, attack and item use must land on the beat of the soundtrack, and every enemy has its own fixed rhythm.
