LavaLoop merges shoot’em up action with rhythm gameplay in a vibrant, hand-drawn retro-futuristic universe.
The story of LavaLoop follows three punk musicians battling against a mad queen and her planet-destroying drill machine. Players can choose between three distinct characters: Noë with her cannon-hook-piano-arm, Manita the close-combat mushroom dancer, or Léonie the fish-shooting knight. The game’s rhythm mechanics reward players for moving to the beat without penalizing off-rhythm actions, while enemies create a dynamic, procedural soundtrack through their movement patterns.
The gameplay is inspired by classics from Space Invaders and Cuphead, and LavaLoop‘s art direction draws from Jules Verne and Miyazaki, creating five distinct worlds with unique styles and music. It promises an ecological fable about nature’s destruction and technological dominance, wrapped in punk aesthetics and musical creativity. Sign up for the Beta to get in the Loop
