Content notice: The game features a dark atmosphere and combat against enemies, but the violence is stylized and non-realistic, presented in a cartoon-like way rather than graphic or gory. There is no explicit adult content such as sexual themes, sexual violence, BDSM, drug or alcohol abuse, or self-harm. The tone is action-focused rather than disturbing or shock-oriented.

About this game
Stay in the Rhythm
Step into the neon haze of Stay in the Rhythm — a 2D top-down rogue-like rhythm game where every punch, dash, and ability drop hits to the beat.
You’re just a regular guy thrown into a chaotic cyberpunk nightmare, where the streets pulse with phonk and the only rule is simple: move with the music or die off-beat.
Fight through waves of twisted enemies — part machine, part myth — as dark purple lights cut through the black void of the city. Time your attacks to the rhythm, chain perfect combos, and watch the world move in sync with your flow.
Every run hits different. Every track changes the pace.
Lose yourself to the sound — and stay in the rhythm.
