A fun little game based off of Louie Zong's Rhythm Hell video. Very simple experiment, solid piece of work. The bar constantly dropping especially when the tempo gets slow is part of the hell, of course you can't win. But satisfying to get the claps, especially when there's minimal audio delay.

Gets a step difficult in musical reading difficulty after score 12 with the audio guide disappearing, which adds a fun element. My high score is 19, fun to revisit for a quick play every time I open itch.

I've dabbled in the Rhythm Heaven series and enjoy what those games offer, so seeing this pop up randomly absolutely caught my attention. What we have here is basically a Rhythm Heaven minigame except it's WAY more intense and anxiety inducing, somehow.

You play as a seal clapping along to a set of notes. First you hear and see them, then you click to clap them. Simple enough, right? Well, it starts off that way, then it gets harder, achieved by becoming WAY more complex. You start to tense up as you see the "SPEED UP" messages and breathe sighs of relief when you see the "SPEED DOWN" messages as you try to learn the rhythms you need to survive to get a high score. "Is this one going to be on the backbeat?" "They put HOW MANY notes in this part?" These thoughts and more will swirl through your mind as you try to keep up with the pace.

Despite how scary it sounds, it's a super fun game. It's kind of like a horror game where the thrill comes from how much it puts you on edge but instead of being chased down by a creepy creature, you're trying to clap along to a song playing as a cute seal. It's free and will definitely help make some time pass by and leave you satisfied. The itch.io page for it can be found HERE!

My high score is 14, by the way!
