its a good game but im not super good at traditional roguelikes lol. theres a character that lets you play levels at your own pace without the rhythm stuff and it's still pretty loving hard
Bard (no rhythm) is harder than Cadence, because enemies won't act on their own. So you were actually holding yourself back. With Bard, enemies only act when you move, but there are a lot of situations where being forced to move will get you hurt or killed, but standing still, sacrificing your multiplier, and letting an enemy approach is the best option.

i prefer the cold versions a bit, but its kickass that the game smoothly flips between instruments depending on what part of the stage youre on

I like to practice on seeded dungeons. But it's my biggest problem that health upgrades don't carry over to full runs, and specific floor runs end at the boss. But I doubt you're going to beat the last floor with default gear and 5 hearts

As for things that haven't been posted yet:

People always forget how freakishly good VVVVVV was, especially its soundtrack

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0gOUmQ39uk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj8MsbgpjaQ

also unfortunate is that the game released an update where it was ported out of flash but also added 2 extra songs, which go only used in custom levels, one of them which is fantastic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq9CD5kdI5I

the other one has a more hard hitting beat but while great isnt as good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yRSkV9Bmhw


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddiFKPnovgg
Spacechem had some music i really liked too with some overly grandiose songs that absolutely fit a slow paced puzzle game about coding

Don't really think I have to mention Shovel Knight but just choose pretty much any stage from that game. gonna go with the most obvious one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqAYMZSOQao

Almost The entirety of Bastion's soundtrack too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQWAcgefsQQ
This one got added on an update and it's really cool
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzGEiER7mkc

I liked Battleblock Theater's theme song nice beat but i dont think any other song was memorable.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHYUa9LbDXY

The BIT.TRIP saga has some really good songs but i imagine the one most people are familiar with is RUNNER which had a good soundtrack

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm8sOSc6ZU4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQTmKhwpK5
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8G2tvhhoqU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A7rstR2XmI

RUNNER 2 had some good songs but i havent played it as much so i dont remember lots more than the title theme and superfunk (which is really really great)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQFvn7zp7m0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3iaVdBAArk
Can't find any clear version of the second stage from Chime but really, I think it's for the best because while I don't find the song itself that good, i felt it was the only one that really worked with the game mechanics. The Moby one did too i guess but idk. Bonus for my homie retarded clown: they added Still Alive in a patch

EDGE had a couple good songs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCHR4RtPot4

I beat VVVVVV once or twice a year. One of my favorites, and the music for every area is fantastic. i especially like games where the music doesnt stop when you die because you get in this hypnotic unstoppable flow of trying hard parts over and over again

i love it when boss/combat music is the stage music remixed to be heavier and more climactic, shovel knight does it best but hyperlight drifter is another good example (even if its simplistic).

Bastion was/is kind of overhyped and I didn't think the gameplay was earth shattering, but I really loved the, like, western movie acoustic guitar style the soundtrack had.

Turn-based roguelike, but everything is done to the beat of the songs. It's really good. Like it's a very well-designed roguelike even without the rhythm elements, and it has a lot of ideas I hope other games borrow from it. I think it's great.

This post made me finally get it & so far it's one of the most fun games I've played in a while. So thank u
