Summary

Otocky is a musical side‑scrolling shoot ’em up that turns every burst of fire into a note in a living soundtrack. My ship wields a floating ball that can be shot in eight directions, each one mapped to a distinct pitch, so the battlefield becomes a keyboard of its own.

When I press the fire button the note not only sounds but also snaps to the underlying beat, keeping everything perfectly in time. This clever quantisation lets me improvise a melody on the fly, layering attacks into a rhythm that feels both strategic and surprisingly melodic.
