You are CABLEMAN, chosen to do the most important job of all: connect cables. Move to the rhythm of the world to get the cable to the signal station, but don't let the spark catch up to you in this Necrodancer-like!

Made in 72 hours for ludum dare 59.

Controls

- WASD or arrow keys to move
- space for calibrating and menu controls
- ESC to open the menu

Hints

- Everything moves to the beat. If you time it right, you can switch places with an enemy coming towards you. 
- Skipping a beat is necessary sometimes. Just don't overdo it, or else the spark will catch up.
-You're safe in your van. Sometimes it's best to wait and observe first.
- If you're not hitting any beats, open the menu and recalibrate.

Known Bugs

- If the music stops and nothing is moving, open the menu and recalibrate.
- Avoid using Bluetooth speakers if possible, they tend to have large latency. If you get an offset larger than 0.2, you might run into issues with collision detection.
