I took a few weeks off to recuperate and now I'm finally back! Thanks for remaining patient! I plan to keep y'all updated on the update schedule for the game via here and discord so stay tuned, should have more to show y'all in the next few days!
Quick Development Update!
I will be taking a short break from Project Arrhythmia. I know this isn't the best of news for y'all cause it means no updates for a while but, I would like to do this now before I burn out completely. So till next Friday I will be completely stopping work on the game. I hope I can come back stronger soon and be more reliable I still will be checking in on the discord server but mostly to talk to y'all as friends rather than as the developer of the game. This means the OST release will be delayed from this friday to the 5th of July. Feel free to DM me as usual or talk in one of the channels if you have any last minute questions or updates you want.
Things to look forward to...
- Level Contest
- OST Release
- SVG custom objects
- New death / Hit animations
- New Effects
- Bug fixes
Discord: discord.gg/projectarrhythmia
PS: Completely forgot to update stuff for pride month but it's up now lmao. Happy Pride!
How do I play this game!?
- Avoid everything that's in the foreground of the level
- Move with Left joystick / WASD / Arrow Keys
- Boost with A Button / Space Key
Boost helps you avoid objects since it gives you a slight speed boost and temporary invincibility.
Hope that helps!
A quick look back and thanks!
As the clock ticks down to launch I just wanted to make one last post looking back. I started Project Arrhythmia over 6 years ago, at the time I was only a high school student. If you would have told me that I'd be launching on Steam with an amazing community, tons of user made levels, wonderful fanart and so much more I would have never believed you. Yet here we are! We made this game what it is together and I really cannot say how much I appreciate the people that stayed around. I hope you enjoy the game as much as I enjoyed making it with all of you.

Are you ready! Only 3 more days!
That's right the game will be out this Friday at 6pm CST (June 14th)! Are you excited!? I certainly am! A few things to note...
- OST DLC will launch on the 21st
- Badges / Cards / etc will launch on the 21st
Also a new level editor competition will be announced soon after launch so keep an eye out! Really excited to bring you a lot of updates after launch and I really hope you enjoy the game!
Don't forget to join the discord!
2019 Onwards!
Wow! What a year!
If you would have told me early 2018 I'd end this year with such an amazing community I wouldn't have believed you. With a community now over 300+ strong on discord [join here] I'm simply floored. You are all so incredibly talented and nice to talk to I could not ask for a better community! So let's take a look back and see how much has changed this year...
Updates
This year we started on version 3.0.0 of the game...we are now nearly at 3.9.0, there have been hundreds of changes / features added / bugs fixed. While there's still a lot to do its pretty incredible how much the game has progressed in just one year. Heck the arcade didn't even really exist before this year lol.
Art Creation
We held a successful art competition which had so many amazing entries! Though y'all have certainly made some amazing art outside the competition as well! (Seriously thank you to everyone who made art I only was able to post a few here but trust me when I say I loved everything posted!)
...including some horrifying emotes...
Level Creation
We had several amazing levels made! Here's just a few of the recent ones. Trust me the workshop has many more! Ya'll constantly are innovating on the editor doing things I simply never through of and it's amazing to me what y'all are creating.
