              RUDE BEAR ROGUEOLUTION               ======================

THE GAME IS DOPE SO ACTUALLY BEAT IT, IT HAS A DOPE BOSS BATTLE IT’S NOT THAT HARD, BEAT IT. IT’S A RHYTHM ROGUELITE

              ==== HOW TO PLAY ====                ==== READ THIS ====                   === CONTROLS ===

• Hold down stick = you will move on the beat. You don’t need to tap the stick, it ain’t necrodancer.

          Unlockable controls (in chests):

• D-Pad Buttons - Dash on subsequent beat
• D-Pad/Face buttons also resync the BPM and fix audio lag. So if you’re struggling, tap out every beat in a row

! If you get an AWFUL or an ABYSMAL, just tap again and you will overwrite the previous action with a new one. ! i.e. Keep tapping when you get to a hole until you sync up a perfect then release.

• X = Dash. Comes out on the same beat! Hold the stick to aim it.
• Triangle = Skate. Start skating next beat. Hold down on the stick to slide around, free movement.
• Circle = Blow. Blows enemies away from you next beat. If they’re close enough, they die too.
• Square = Suck. Pulls everyone towards you with gravity next beat. After suck, blow comes out on the same frame.

L1/L2/R1/R2 technically slow you down if you want but I added this for keyboard users, would advise not playing like this.

TECHNICALLY you can play this game with a keyboard. It’s just horribly inadvisable. For that: WASD and dvorak/azerty equivalents = movement. Hold left shift to make it slight. 1234 = XAYB on an xbox pad Up down left right = dash buttons Space = x as well.

                === COMBOS (using PS4 names, X = A) ===  DASH . BEAT. X ->  DASH + ATTACK on subsequent beat X->DASH . BEAT. X->DASH   quickly allows you to slash and dash every frame SKATE . BEAT. BEAT. BEAT. ATTACK  -> you can get 3 beats if you get a GOOD or PERFECT beat. SUCK . BEAT. BLOW   ->  The blow will come out on the first frame, time it right and you can suck in enemies then kill them SUCK . BEAT. X->DASH -> Suck in enemies then quickly dispatch them

There’s loads more, find your own! Once you beat the boss, the TEMPO RISES.
