Rhythm Doctor 1.0

Warning: You need to have a program capable of running an SWF file to play this game. You can click here to find one such program right here on our website.

There are a ton of rhythm games out there. There are the osu clones, where you need mouse precision, reaction time, and good timing to succeed. There are the scrolling rhythm games, like DDR, where keys scroll up the screen and you just have to press the right button at the right time. Most rhythm games have just been variations of these two formulas. Rhythm Doctor is the rare game that doesn't fall into either of those formulas and creates its own gameplay style.

To play Rhythm Doctor, simply run it with whatever SWF player you have.

The gameplay is deceptively simple, but the game is incredibly creative in how it challenges you. All you have to do is hit the spacebar when the game dictates it. In this demo, you just have to hit the spacebar whenever a patient's heart hits the seventh beat.

Simple, right? Not so much when they start skipping beats, and when there are multiple patients all lined up with different speeds. There are a ton of creative ways they try to mess with you, with the boss fight of the demo in particularly pulling out all stops in messing with you.

All in all, Rhythm Doctor is one of the best and most creative music games around, and there's a version on Steam with way more levels if you love this demo as much as I did.

First act only.
