Dare to Disco

This is only my 3rd game in Godot, so there may be some issues. Can be played without audio, though with is recommended. Made for the Brackeys Game Jam 2025.2 with the theme "risk it for the biscuit".

Dare to Disco is a fast-paced arcade rhythm game inspired by the disco minigame from Yakuza 0. Balance the risk of taking as many steps as possible against the chance you won't reach the beat in time, and go for a PERFECT COMBO on every song!

POST JAM UPDATE: The 2.0 update adds 7 new playable songs to the game, including the entirely original song "Future Skies" and its demo version. This update also include quality of life improvements over the original jam version, including less strict beat timings and automatically saving your highscores & perfect clears.

Controls:

• Use WASD or the Arrow Keys to move. A gamepad's d-pad should work too, but I haven't tested this. NOTE: YOU CAN MOVE FREELY, NOT JUST ON-BEAT
• Use SPACE, L-SHIFT, or Left Click (anywhere) to hit a beat. A gamepad's bottom and right face button should work too, but I haven't tested this.
• Use ESCAPE to quit a song before it ends. A gamepad's menu button should work too, but I haven't tested this

Score:

• Try to score as high as possible on a song.
• The more steps you take on the way to a beat, the more points you will earn for hitting that beat (e.g. taking 4 steps will award twice the points of taking 2 steps).
• Hitting a beat more accurately will earn you more points (4x for a PERFECT, 2x for a GOOD, 1x for a BAD, and no points for a MISS).
• Keeping a combo going will also earn you more points. The exact calculation for combo bonus is (1 + (combo / 10)) times more, e.g. 1.1x more for a 1 combo or 2x more for a 10 combo.
• Earn a FULL COMBO on a song by hitting either PERFECT or GOOD on every beat, or earn a PERFECT COMBO by hitting PERFECT on every beat.
