A hybrid of rhythm and action games. You'd be a generic dude walking around in 2D, but you'd have to attack in patterns to beat enemies. The music would be dynamic, allowing you to make up your own music.

===Player Behavior===
+
−
====Attack with proper timing to a beat (usually a song of some sort)====
+
−
It is extremely important that the player doesn't just mash buttons. The attacks must be done with a certain tempo. The attacks should generate the background music of some sort.
+
  
−
====Dash around freely between targets====
+
==Concept Art==
−
The user should be able to move, a lot. And it shouldn't be constrained by many factors. Maybe a timer/distance meter would suffice. And don't worry about gravity.

====Only use the mouse to control your character and his actions.====
+
=Implementation Ideas=
−
Simpler controls are better. Also, the imprecision of mice lends itself to more fluid movement, which is perfect for a loud game like this.

====A power boost that costs some resource, but boosts your damage output for a while====

[[Rythym Action Mouse Controls|Mouse Controls]]
−
To help the action game portion, the player has a stat boost of some kind. It should also change the music, or give a much better margin for error. Finally, it should cost a resource of some sort. Maybe limited uses, or it costs life.

This is what goes on behind the scenes to help the player understand and adapt to the gameplay.
