| − | A hybrid of rhythm and action games. An action game that is intuitive. It gives a queue when you should attack, but it allows enough flexibility to avoid completely degenerating into a pure rhythm game. The music would be dynamic, allowing you to make up your own music.

| − | The story would be a tongue-in-cheek parody of action games. Cerb, a devil-may-care swordsman, is cursed. And everything seems to be after him: The Empire, Forces of Nature, and even his family.

| − | ====Attack with proper timing to a beat (usually a song of some sort)====
| + | |
| − | It is extremely important that the player doesn't just mash buttons. The attacks must be done with a certain tempo. The attacks should generate the background music of some sort.

| − | ====A power boost that costs some resource, but boosts your damage output for a while====
| + | [[Rythym Action Mouse Controls|Mouse Controls]] |
| − | To help the action game portion, the player has a stat boost of some kind. It should also change the music, or give a much better margin for error. Finally, it should cost a resource of some sort. Maybe limited uses, or it costs life.
