"Nebula Flow" is a rhythm-based game where you follow your dog through musical realms, moving and jumping in sync with the music. As you hit notes, you close the gap between you and your dog, but be careful as the notes spawned make your reactions more challenging. The game features adjustable audio latency, customizable gameplay element colors, and an original soundtrack by Songe. Your goal is to fill your boost bar by hitting notes and use it to give your dog its lead back.
