This game made me realize I have no rhythm or typing skills. I actually really did enjoy the mechanics and uniqueness of the game even though it was quite frustrating at times. If you want to see some game play you can check out my video below. https://youtu.be/Vgi_WiGMscs7 found this helpful
This game is amazing! I would highly recommend! The whole game aspect of it is really cool, I like the fact that you have to move on the heartbeat (hence the name) and I like the 16 bit style!1 found this helpful
Had no issues with moving on the beat, receiver/phone gives you story and tutorial which is nice. Find it fun and always start panic typing when the monster starts getting close.

However I did find a lot of difficultly reading the text. As well as finding the tempo for the movement difficult especially at slower tempos. The text being hard to read is not a huge problem as the text is read out loud and I got used to it over time. Though for people that are better at spelling than me I'm sure this is even less of an issue if it is an issue at all. Though for the issue of movement the tempo is very hard to find. I died severely times just trying to move around the areas and spent a bunch of time sitting in one spot just waiting for the heartbeat to go down. This made it very frustrating when most of my time is either spent sitting around waiting to be able to move without dying or trying to get back to a point that was right before I got killed just to march into death again. For as long as it takes to move around the areas you …1 found this helpful
Good game for Angry Video Game Nerd. Terribly frustrating and a very lack luster experience.
