Metavoidal

If at first you don’t succeed, the only thing to do is to die again. Use your drumsticks to show that you ARE a good drummer!

And ESCAPE!

You're a drummer that just failed your audition with a metal band. After coming to your senses, you realize that everything around you is being controlled and twisted by the band & their music. What's worse, they’ve got an army of countless corrupted fans… and now you must defeat all the band members to end this evil curse for good.

Pour some gasoline, light a fire, power-up your drumming, and bring the mayhem!

Use the metal band’s own music against them by collecting the lost music records found in every level. Place them in the record player at the end of the level and you'll be able to absorb the musical powers they contain. Choose one of a dark trinity of tracks to add to your playlist!

These tracks will imbue you & your drumsticks with different corrupted powers. Oil or fire? Lightning or holy light?

Build a playlist as you escape to grow skillful enough to beat your way through the hordes of corrupted using only your drumsticks. Combine different track elements during each run to create mayhem in the most offbeat ways!

Armed with your playlist, you will slay your way through corrupted catacombs, abandoned graveyards, and harrowed church halls to collect more cursed records.

But don’t be fooled by the drumsticks! This is not a rhythm game, and the drummer is always replaceable in this band…

No one likes being rejected, and it seems like this motley crew of musicians like you even less. At the end of each level, the metal band that underestimated your skills will fight you in a blistering solo battle.

You must defeat every one of them to earn your freedom. Each member has unique and over-the-top abilities with their own fighting style. Fight a physical duel using your drumsticks against the keyboardist, the strings section, and the rest of the band! It's every drummer's dream to have a Battle of the Band!

BingBong’s Bodega

This economy runs on guitar picks and exposure,

Your only companion in this hellscape is BingBong, a seemingly friendly voidling, who helps you along your quest by advancing your drumming skills… for a price. His booth at the end of each level is open to trade in guitar picks for something a bit more useful on a run or to put some pep back into your step.

Back in the Santuary, each new drummer can use the EXP (or Exposure) acquired by their recently fallen band mate to gain more perks for their upcoming escape attempt. So that they might succeed where the previous drummers did not, or at least pave the way for the next one in line.
