Developer Vitamin Games of the title Project Arrhythmia has announced a new publisher for its title; Top Hat Studios Inc. The game is currently released into Early Access on Steam and has so far received ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ reviews on the game store.
The partnership between the two studios will help provide resources and means for developers to add a new story mode and campaign to the game, on top of the pre-existing single levels.
So what is Project Arrhythmia? It is a tight bullet-hell style game where up to 4 players in local co-op have to navigate through evolving scenes, obstacles, all timed to the sound of the beat. The game is 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.
The game also features a powerful yet easy to use in-built level editor that will allow you to create your own stages, use your own music, and challenge your friends with integrated workshop support. All levels that are created with the editor are fully integrated in the Custom Level Mode of the game for easy sharing and syncing the custom content.
Interested people can play the game as it is currently available in Early Access on Steam. A full launch of the game is expected in late 2021, and to be available at full retail. In the meantime, the developers hope to build on the current game by adding new features, gameplay editions, and an expanded story mode.
