Cadenmire: a rhythm game in a lotus city
A rhythm-action game project with a browser-playable demo, original music, and a fictional city whose bridges and waterways move to the beat.
- For
- Rhythm-game players who enjoy story-rich settings
- Worth noticing
- Composer notes tie 110 BPM to a lift bridge’s 2.18-second rise, making the music fit the city’s mechanism.
Field notes
The demo description says its sound is generated directly in the browser rather than loaded from audio files, and recommends headphones if the beat feels delayed. The chart-editor section describes per-measure tempo changes and sharing finished maps through nine-letter codes; it also limits maps to tracks from the listed setlist. The composer notes explain that the city’s bridge animation determines the timing of one song, rather than the music waiting on the bridge.
