I didn’t think I would have so much trouble playing this. I can get the rhythm down but I’m getting killed left and right. Any tips to help out?

We have completed a significant site update. Come see what's new!
Cadence of Hyrule – Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring the Legend of Zelda |OT| The Hylian Dance

I had trouble until I got the spear. Being able to hit two spaces in front of you changed everything.
Quick question. Is the game procedurally generated like COTN or are the levels actually designed by persons?
Finished it today.
Awesome nostalgia blast, but I feel the second half is way too easy. You can really blast through this thing real quick,wich could make score attack real interesting?
A tad dissapointed at the difficulty, but then again, I never finished Necrodancer, so I still have that to play too

Some areas are hand crafted, but the majority of it is randomly generated.
Does anyone know how to get this heart piece?
Do you have the dash? Could try throwing one of the stepstones to help you get to one of the higher floors then dash through the air. Doesn't seem to always work though, I know it does over water at least. Alternatively, for stuff like this I've hunted down the floaty boots but they only work for a couple spaces.
Yeah, I've tried the dash and creating a block using the cane. I'm completely stumped.
If anyone's figured this out, please let me know how you did it!
I found all but one in caves right next to the temple. Had to dig em up.
Last one was in the dessert nearby but was a pain to get. Ended up going back to find hoverboots to get it.
Thanks! Also, does anyone have a link to the pause screen music in the ice dungeon? That track absolutely BANGS. And if any sound designers out there can tell me how to recreate the genesis twang synth in ableton, that'd be cool hahaha
Final boss aside, this game pulled no punches in affirming I have no sense of rhythm -- and yet, I already want to play it again. (Not that I have a choice, given I'm already planning to write guides, LOL.)
Soundtrack when??? The Lost Woods ambiance and Gerudo Valley were killer.

I'm at what I believe is the very end and I'm trying to figure out an optional puzzle.
I feel like an idiot but I have no idea what to do here.
EDIT: omg. It was so simple. Everything was a red herring. (._. )
The side door in the dark world castle, with the ganon statues and the draggable blocks on the left side of the room.

I feel like I don't deserve to listen to the songs in this game. They are all at least great. A couple of them make me feel emotional
This game's soundtrack is just insane. If anyone can link me to the pause screen in the ice dungeon I'd appreciate it a ton.
Walk into them when you have the torch, you automatically set fire to stumps and lanterns
So I'm at Hyrule Castle.
The King says there's a trial to get something useful and the room is fool of stuff that shoot pink and green fire at you.
There's a big pit in the room and I have no idea how I'm supposed to get across to reach the item. Am I missing something or do I not come back to this till later?

Played for two hours tonight for a total of three. Beat my first boss in
. I explored the entire right-side 3.5 columns and got a bunch of items such as
. Have six hearts and a spear with poison and broadsword with multiplier-based damage up to three; pretty much means I can wreck anything in my way without worries, haven’t died since I got four hearts and a bottle for extra recovery. Game is super fun and with it having a more adventure aspect than the original, I can play longer than an hour before being drained from dying in Zone 2 all the time.
Now please have the team make a Cadence of Brinstar Feat. Metroid along with Metroid Metal doing the music for the Permadeath Run at least, please Nintendo.
Lost Woods.
the lute, big shield (I regret that pick since Zelda can’t use it, should have got the boomerang), Tingle Dowser, compass, an extra bottle for stamina refills, bombchus and a poison dagger.

Is this supposed to be played as survival game, in seeing how far you can go without dying while finding items and gearbox getting better?
Died about 10 times in the first 15 minutes, now I'm on a 30 minute run with one dungeon down. I don't normally enjoy rogue-lits but this game is something truly special.
Still playing it to that rhythm too; and it's a banger on every screen

Have you tried
shooting your hookshot at the chest on the other side
Yeah it didn't work the first time because I didn't have the Longshot at the time.
Went exploring and found it and was able to grab it from off screen.

Thank you though I appreciate you replying.
Beat it.
This is a great fucking game.
This is a great fucking game.
And that was a seriously creative final boss. One of the better Ganon fights too IMO.
Beat it. Great game.
Feels a LITTLE short for $25 but all the original art and original music from such a small team means I can’t really complain.
It’d feel a little better to me post-credits if there was a hard mode, endless dungeon, or something else to jump back into besides a new world with a new seed.
Like others I died like 15 times early on in just the first few screens but you really do eventually get into a rhythm (har har) and then I blasted through the FINAL THREE dungeons with 0 deaths.
The beginning is harder. You get hella gear later on that more than off-sets the tougher enemies.
I used the sword that hits 3-wide AND I upped its damage from 1 to 2. Felt borderline broken - it melted all the bosses.

So the arrow minigame... Am I supposed to win the arrows this way, or is the top prize the heart piece? This is the most challenging part so far.
It has a mode that ignores the rhythm part and you can just play it as a rogue-lite game.
Is the remix from the E3 trailer up somewhere on youtube?
I think I might have to buy this game based on that alone

I'm just now entering Hyrule Castle and I've got every single item except for 1 heart piece. Should I expect it soon? Because it's not showing up on my map at all.
Where's the torch?... I feel like an idiot getting stuck in literally the first two screens.
Thanks! The pixel art was difficult to distinguish between the wall and stairs. The fairy must've helped establish that.
This was way easier than necro lol :) surprised at the amount of shit I still find after finishing the game, except for dekus. Found a certain cave but nothing else. If anyone has any hints, I'm all game.

Finished it up last night, good game. Immediately restarting for a permadeath Zelda-only run with fixed-beat mode to play when I'm watching other stuff.
I’m really enjoying this.
I have completed 13 games but I’ve never completed or enjoyed Link to the Past, but this thankfully draws on the whole series nicely.
I’m pretty bad at Necrodancer, but the fact that they allow wall bumps to keep rhythm going makes controlling enemy distances so much easier. The designated battle rooms, easy escape, and down time make a big difference too.
I haven’t beaten any bosses and I just lost a great run due to encountering a bomb fairy for the first time. Ah well!
