Synthpunk Ecoterrorist

Last week I finished reading Anna Anthropy's Rise of the Videogame Zinesters, and in the spirit of making a game and making it fast, I promised myself I would make a game in 4 days. Sad and scary things were happening in the world. I was feeling angry. I was also feeling creative. Synthpunk Ecoterrorist is the result of both of those energies coming together.

• blow up malicious corporate buildings by hitting the notes in time
• 3 original songs for you to play
• it's punk: sloppier playing is rewarded
• more bullet points

Now, because I made this in four days, there's obviously an incredible lack of polish, but the mechanics mostly work as intended.

One hilarious oversight on my part is that if you fail at a song you still advance to the next level, which is what everyone online always tells you socialism is, so that's kind of funny, right?

There is one other noteworthy glitch:

• if the last note you played is a correct note, you can press literally nothing else and the lead track will still play.

So, you can at least use that to figure out what the music is supposed to sound like. But be warned:

• YOU WON'T GET POINTS IF YOU DON'T PLAY RIFFS

And if you don't play riffs

• YOU DON'T GET TO BLOW UP BUILDINGS

(But don't worry, you aren't actually blowing up buildings! This is wish fulfillment, see; this is just a video game. You can totally blow up these "buildings".)

• Fonts by eeve somepx.
• Explosion sound effects generated with sfxr
• Everything else by Christopher Risewick

This game is pretty forgiving. You can be off by an 8th note in either direction and still score a hit. My partner played this game through in a single setting without knowing how any of the songs even go.

Download the game! Have a blast! (LOL A BLAST, GET IT?!)
