Chained to the Beat

Control chained together orbs and try to catch all flying notes in this high-octane arcade game.

What highscore will you reach?

Rules available in game (help). You can press Q or Esc to quit to menu from the level (only webgl build, not yet in windows)

Made in 2 days by a solo dev as a submission to GMTK Game Jam 2021 theme "Joined Together"

It's a difficult game at first. Don't worry if you get a low score, just have fun :)

-----hints-----

As the penalty for hitting wrong note is high, it's better to play carefully and don't try to collect everything (you don't lose points for missing notes)
If you want to reach highscores or just play like a pro, try spinning the red orb around. That way you have better control of it.

-----dev-notes-----

The game uses real-time for the "beats" that spawn notes. This means that if the game lags/stutters it can desync the notes with music. Guess that's why I shouldn't have done it this way :/
If it doesn't run smoothly in browser, it's better to try windows version.
