Rhythm Doctor is a minimalist rhythm game that turns your spacebar into a life-saving defibrillator. You treat each patient by hitting the spacebar precisely on the seventh beat of their heartbeat, navigating ever more elaborate rhythms—polyrhythms, hemiolas and odd time signatures—to restore them to health. Despite its deceptively simple controls, the game gently introduces you to key music theory concepts without ever feeling like a lecture.
Key Features
- Twenty-plus handcrafted levels, each carrying its own narrative and musical challenge
- Gradual introduction of rhythm theory concepts in a playful, intuitive way
- A colorful cast of doctors and patients woven into an overarching, character-driven storyline
- Drop-in, drop-out local multiplayer for two players across the entire campaign
- Powerful level editor: import your own music, snap notes to beats and apply over fifty visual effects and backgrounds
- “Night Shift” versions of every level that offer an extra dose of challenge for veterans
Whether you’re a seasoned rhythm-game fan or completely new to musical timing, Rhythm Doctor offers a unique blend of storytelling, education and gameplay. Please note that the game features flashing lights and colors—use caution if you are sensitive to strobe effects. Rhythm Doctor is available now and can be downloaded to start saving lives one beat at a time.
