May the beat be with you🎶

First of all thanks to everyone who will try this prototype, it's our first Jam and we had a lot of fun developing Starxia!

When we learned about the theme of the Jam (Antiquated Future) many ideas came to mind but one in particular was vibrating in our heads: vaporwave! 
So we decided to create a rhythm game with futuristic style and vaporwave vibes, and we really liked it!

But what do you have to do in this game? Simple: hop into your spaceship and ride the sound waves of space, accumulating as many beat points as possible by defeating equalizer blocks of four specific colors: red, blue, green, purple. Be careful not to miss them or if they reach the sound bar they will cause you to lose points!
Oh, finally: the sound bar loves floppy disks...be careful not to destroy them in your fight against the evil colored equalizers!
