A downloadable game for Windows

This is Lucifer's Emaciated Cannibals! a rhythm game where your goal is to beat the opposing band in a Riff Off! An underground illegal music ring where the winner takes home massive bets, and the loser is lucky if they make it home at all. Challenge your self and come out on top of the Riff offs.

This game also supports custom songs! See how to create a custom song file for yourself to play below:

Note: the file format at the moment is a .txt file. the formatting is very strict in its current form. Since the playing is based on a guitars fretboard, the structure for creating custom songs is based off that. It is formatted as follows:

String-Fret MillisecondsUntilNextNoteIsPlayed;

The string refers to which string it should be played on the guitar, with 1 being the Low E string, and 6 being the High E string. The fret refers to the fret of that string that will be 'held' to create the note. The milliseconds until next note is the time in milliseconds until the note after the current should be spawned.

An example of how this formatting  is shown below in this snippet of the main guitar riff from "Snow (Hey Oh)" by "Red Hot Chili Peppers".

2-6 0250;3-6 0250;4-4 0250;3-6 0250;4-4 0250;4-6 0250;4-4 0250;3-6 0250;4-4 0500;
2-7 0250;3-6 0250;4-4 0250;3-6 0250;4-4 0250;4-6 0250;4-4 0250;3-6 0250;4-4 0500;
1-7 0250;2-6 0250;3-4 0250;2-6 0250;3-4 0250;3-6 0250;3-4 0250;2-6 0250;3-4 0500;
2-9 0250;3-8 0250;4-6 0250;3-8 0250;4-6 0250;4-8 0250;4-6 0250;3-8 0250;4-6 0500;

This game was made for a university project but I and my fellow member Katleho are hoping to keep developing this game for it to become a more fully fleshed rhythm game with better and more in-depth song support. Any donations towards development are greatly appreciated but are absolutely not expected or requested in any way, hope you enjoy playing this 'lil jam game!

Hey, I'm working on a beat mapper app for music-based games. It's called MBOY Editor (https://vfpe.itch.io/mboy-editor) Do you want to try it for your game? Vic
