Madou Monogatari: Magician's Melody
DESCRIPTION
A short rhythm fangame based off Puyo Puyo/Madou Monogatari, programmed using Moghunter's Theatrhythm Plugin! Press on the keyboard to the pace of the games' music to pull off attacks, and overcome your opponents with the power of song! With comedic Visual Novel-style cutscenes in between, face 7 battles to the beat! About 30 minutes for the main game; 1-2 hours to experience 100% of the content.
Originally designed as a gift for a friend who likes rhythm games, and partly shares my love for the Madou Monogatari cast. She encouraged me to polish it and give it a complete release, even though I'm a bit nervous about putting a fangame up here. Critiques are encouraged, since I'm just starting out!
STORY
Spoiler
Schezo Wegey, the dark magician, has found the remains of notes left behind by his precursor, Rune Lord. He follows them; and discovers the ruins of the magician's ancient library have raised from the ground. These great halls contain the remaining notes, the key to great power. For their own reasons, Schezo's goofy foes and kinda-sometimes-friends have entered in search of the documents. Open the door, guide the anti-hero to victory through music, and you may taste the Rune Lord's final secrets, too...

CHARACTERS
Spoiler
Schezo Wegey: A dark magician with a blunt attitude, on the quest to improve himself. His old-fashioned dialogue style often gets him into misunderstandings.
Witch: A giggling ball of mischief who derives power from the comets. Her knowledge of magic is undoubted, but will her ambition put her against Schezo?
Draco Centauros: A dragon girl who's always ready for a challenge, whether it's in style or in fists. Something's really heating her up in this library...
Suketoudara: A reckless, groovy fish who makes great use of his humanoid arms and legs. The only magic he needs is the power of dance!
Rulue: The self-proclaimed Fighting Queen, a haughty woman who always keeps her head in the game. Her curry roux is renowned across the land, and its strength is only greater in the library.
- Minotauros: Rulue's bodyguard and servant. Obedient, hapless, and beefy in every sense of the term.
Arle?: This is definitely the original games' magic protagonist, right? The one who decapitated Schezo? She couldn't possibly be some sort of doppelganger... Could she?
Dark Prince Satan: King of Puyo Hell. He's hatched countless diabolical plans to ask Arle on a date, and countless more to get his old pet Carbuncle back. Something's increased his power tonight, though...
- Rule Lord: The mysterious, deceased man who pulled a young Schezo into a maze of horrors. What secrets did he leave behind?
