Press release:
The Texas-based indie games studio Vitamin Games LLC and indie games publisher/developer Top Hat Studios are today very proud and excited to announce that they are partnering-up for the release of the award-winning music bullet-hell game “Project Arrhythmia” (the game is coming to PC via Steam in late 2021).

“Project Arrhythmia” is currently released into Early Access on Steam, and the game has already been met with a phenomenal reception amongst genre fans, with a 96% overwhelmingly positive review rate from 726 reviews.

A cacophony of lights, music, pulses and blocks, Project Arrhythmia features tight bullet-hell style gameplay where up to 4 players in local co-op must navigate their way through evolving scenes and obstacles, all timed to the beat.

The partnership between Vitamin Games and Top Hat Studios will provide the resources and means for the addition of a new story mode and campaign to the game, on top of pre-existing single levels. Set in 205X, a mysterious disease called the “Tokyo Flu” has been ravaging the world.

A lone computer programmer, Anna Schroeder, attempts to find the cure with her trusty supercomputer-companion HAL. Stumbling upon various “Projects”, the duo decides to investigate the efficacy of a cure by using a pulse and rhythm-based interface.

Project Arrhythmia also features a powerful and easy-to-use in-built-level editor, allowing players to create their own stages, use their own music, and challenge their friends with integrated workshop support! All levels created with the editor are fully integrated into the game’s Custom Level Mode for easy sharing and syncing of custom content.

Project Arrhythmia is currently available in Early Access on Steam, with an expected date towards late 2021 to be available at full retail. Over the course of its early access, the developer hopes to build on the current game by adding new features and gameplay editions, including an expanded story mode.

Features:

Dodge the beat: stages consist of mesmerizing, musically timed scenes, each one telling a story. Feel the rhythm and feel your way around the hazards! Anna will judge how you do.
Challenge your friends: up to 4 players supported in local co-op mode
Robust level editor: a carefully designed level editor allows users to create their own levels and challenges, to whatever music they wish
Huge community: a wealth of user-created content exists, fully integrated into the game through the level editor and user-made levels.

Upcoming Features:

Story Mode: over 20+ handcrafted heart-pounding levels interwoven with an engaging story.
More co-op game modes: Party (endless level selection with friends) / Snake (collect pellets that gradually make you larger) / Battle Royale (last to die wins)
Full community integration: a voting system for levels, better search, straight importing of levels, and more
Cross-platform Modding Support
