Description
About This Game
RICOCHORD is a roguelite about bouncing orbs. You move and aim, your orbs fire on their own, and they ricochet through the static until they come back to you. Each hit plays a note of the chord the song is on, in time with the beat, and a chain of hits climbs the chord.
A run is one track: 12 waves, some minibosses and a final boss - Roughly 5 minutes
Static steps down the pit on beat. Static that crosses the red line breaches and drains your Amp
Static and bosses shoot back, so watch out
Destroyed Static drops notes. Collect them for XP. Each level up offers 3 cards: a new orb, an orb upgrade, a pedal or a fusion
15+ kinds of Static march down the pit, and stage Monitors stand among them. Elite Static has 2.5 times the health but drop goodies...
10+ orbs
Two orbs can fuse into one of 10+ fusions, such as Shatterflame (Ember and Frost) or Hydra (Pulse and Prism).
