Rhythm Doctor is a unique one-button rhythm game where your timing can save lives. In this world, defibrillating a patient's heart in perfect sync with their heartbeat has powerful healing properties. Your core task is to press the spacebar precisely on the seventh beat to keep your patients stable.
While the concept is simple, each patient presents a unique challenge based on complex music theory. Their illnesses manifest as polyrhythms, hemiolas, irregular time signatures, and other rhythmic obstacles. However, you don't need a background in music to succeed. Rhythm Doctor is cleverly designed to teach you these concepts of music and rhythm theory through intuitive gameplay, often without you even realizing it.
The game features over 20 handmade levels, each introducing a different rhythmic concept in an accessible way and telling its own story. These individual stories are woven into an overarching, character-centric narrative featuring a large cast of doctors and patients. For players who master the basics and seek an even greater challenge, difficult "Night Shift" versions of each level are available to truly test your skills.
Rhythm Doctor offers a creative and engaging experience that combines a simple control scheme with surprisingly deep musical mechanics and a charming storyline, making it a standout title in the rhythm game genre.
