Is it still worth playing?

Brace Yourself Games' 2015 roguelike rhythm game, with an original soundtrack by Danny Baranowsky. You explore procedurally generated levels of an underground dungeon from a top down view, with a dance pad, keyboard or gamepad. Every move follows the music, since you can only move or attack on the beat. Monsters do too, moving in set patterns, so you learn the rhythm each creature follows. Enemies drop coins, and killing them in a row without taking damage or missing a beat raises a coin multiplier. Missing a beat rarely hurts you directly, but it resets the multiplier and may let a nearby monster hit you. You can also import your own music. A dungeon where every move has to land on the beat still joins two genres into one habit today.
