The concept of using music to beat your way to victory is great - I was disappointed when I saw the dream build play video, which consisted mostly of slashing opponents with your violin bow.

I'm not sure what I expected - perhaps for the default weapon attack to be music, or for each level to be a series of set locations where you would have to belt out some killer music in order to beat an oncoming wave of enemies?
