Intervallic (Demo)
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Intervallic is a rhythm-based game where you use a MIDI instrument or keyboard to control a flying space cat as you soar through the planet of Audius! Intervallic wants to help you learn to play music and works to make real instrument practice more fun and engaging!
This is an actively updated in-development DEMO of the full game, so we're posting here to receive feedback from users like you! Please leave as much feedback as you can, preferably via our Discord server. We are a group of college students passionate about games, music, and education!
Our full release will include:
- A level editor and sharing platform
- Additional "biomes" which focus on varying styles of music
- More robust feedback and tips for improvement
- Support for more instruments
- An original soundtrack
- Additional story and character development
Until release later this year, follow us on our journey:

The characters look really welcoming and it feels like the story may be fun and enjoyable to play.
The game looks really nice and artistic but it's also important to have in mind the readability of the menus and dialogue boxes, as well as the text speed, I would also have loved some background music so it doesn't feel as desolated when playing; As I mentioned in the video all of this is understandable given that this is a free indie game and also a DEMO version of it.
Hope I don't sound rude because that's not my intention at all, I did enjoyed the demo and hopefully my feedback can be useful.
I wish this project the best, I will keep tabs on it!
Keep the good work!
Hi Hikiyami! Thank you so much for the feedback! Just watched your video. We're working on the music right now and super excited to include it in one of our future updates! It will be adaptive, so the better you are doing in the game the more hype it gets. It also will adapt based on what checkpoint you are in the level too! The video was super helpful for us in terms of learning what is confusing for a first time player. We're working on some changes to UI and gameplay to make it even more clear and fun!
Hi Hikiyami! We've made a ton of progress since the last time you played the game. You can check it out on steam now!
