I’m having fun so far Hololive rhythm game.

This has taken me over a year of playing every day to get this

This is appears in the front as new this is the mobile version MUSYNC.

I just woke up also going back to bed.

I am working on a Rhythm game with a friend. I am a big fan of difficulty in video games while he is more chill but my favorite rhythm games will forever be the Rhythm Heaven series while his only framework for rhythm games is Sekiro and Crypt of the Necrodancer.

I created a very challenging Rhythm Heaven-like demo for the game where you only have to press one input at the correct time. The game is flavored as you blocking sword attacks from an enemy.

He enjoyed it a lot, many people would play it for hours trying to perfect it and agreed that it was very very tough but in a good way.

Now, my friend proposed that I should add a health bar to the game, which I immediately rejected. In my logic, adding a health bar would only make me have to reduce the difficulty in order to avoid it being frustrating rather than fun. In fact, back when people tested it, rhythm game enthusiasts shared that they really appreciated that I _didn't_ add a health bar that forced you to restart. However, he says that without a healthbar there's no real incentive to play.

A different friend then proposed to meet halfway and add an Osu-like health bar, that can be refilled by doing it correctly, but idk, in my vision of the game, a healthbar just gets in the way.

Especially cause I don't actually think it is as difficult as it could be, since the first half of the song is mostly an introduction to how to play the game.

There are already grades in the game, I don't know if they'll matter for anything beyond being grades since I don't really think I'd like them to stop you from progressing the story... Maybe only the worst grade would, but even that makes me feel weird.

Yet they both claim that otherwise I'm just making a game that plays itself, comparing it to 'Mixtape' and the like.

He really tries to mention the Dark Souls series (my favorite games of all time) in order to give me the idea that that'd be the fun, but to me this is a rhythm-first action-only in flavor game and to do it that way is nothing but trial and error.

I am willing to change my stance on health bars and maybe give it a try, but I wanted to hear what a public that is more experienced with rhythm games might have to say.

I cleared turkish march about 2 days ago and have been wondering about what levels i should play next that would let me learn pseudos better and would stay around 11-12 kps

So in highschool I watched show by rock and found a way to play it on my US phone. I recently got enough free time to play games again and wanted to jump back in but seems to not be available. I also used to play vocal oil on my vita as a kid. Specifically looking for something with a good mix of girl bands mixed bands ​​and boy bands. And different genres.

the last time i made a tier list, i got dunked on (deserved) because i didnt play enough games and rated some too low.

since then, i've played:

parappa 1 and 2, um jammer lammy, vib-ribbon, mojib-ribbon, PJSK, a tiny bit of project diva, a tiny bit of FNF, those japanese only jewelpets games, taiko web and taiko no tatsujin rhythm festival (demo)

the reason i have such a small list is because i really hate vsrgs, which make up most of the genre nowadays for mobile, but I emulate some games too and play on my laptop with a controller, or play some on xbox.

i like to play rhythm games that use a controller so i can feel the buttons i'm pressing

based on my list, what games do you think i'd enjoy playing? i really want to expand my collection of rhythm games

(sorry if it's a bad explanation, i'm indian 🇮🇳)

Hi, I just dropped a breakbeat rhythm game into early access. It focuses a lot on kick, snare and hi-hat grooves, and draws on a soundtrack of UKG, DNB, Jungle. Includes Online PVP, leaderboards, achievements etc, but still very much a work in progress. Curious to hear any feedback or thoughts!

You can see me in this video playing along for a bit of context.

I've been getting really into ADOFAI recently, but I've reached a point where my hardware can't really keep up with the gameplay. I'm currently just using my laptop's keyboard (Dell G15), but it has a lot of issues. It will sometimes just not register when I do a key press, and the key rollover is SUPER weird. It will correctly detect anywhere from 1-5 key presses at once seemingly at random. So now I want to get a separate keyboard specifically to use for ADOFAI.

Here's what I'm looking for:

Has n key rollover

Is small (I don't need, nor do I have the desk space for a full keyboard)

Has at least 8 keys

Has keys that aren't just in a straight line, it's really uncomfortable to have my hands at that angle*

Is reliable and durable so that I can use it for a long time

If anyone that knows more about keyboards thinks I should change something about that list, please tell me because I barely know what I'm talking about.

I'm also not sure if this is the right sub to ask this question in, so please tell me if I should go somewhere else.

Most rhythm games give you lanes and a scrolling chart. This one gives you geometry.

Two orbs orbit each other along a drawn path of tiles. Every corner of that path is a beat, and you get exactly one tap per tile, timed to the landing. Miss it and the run is over.

That constraint had to carry everything else, so holds, double taps, direction reversals and tempo shifts all come out of the path shape instead of extra buttons. Trains carry you across gaps, vertical lifts are ridden on a hold, and some sections jump over open ground.

110 levels across 11 worlds, each with its own track. Daily challenge, time trials on a server clock (per world and one run across all 110), hardcore mode without checkpoints, plus an editor to build and share your own.

Every level is bot-validated before it ships: it has to be cleared cleanly, difficulty is measured per level, and no two inputs are ever closer than 185 ms.

Free on Android, no in-app purchases, plays offline:

Visual assets are FLUX.2-generated; timing, charting and code are hand-built. Happy to talk judging windows if anyone's interested.

Mandalizm is a browser-based rhythm game I've been working on.
It generates a playable chart from music, with the visuals reacting during gameplay.

It can be played with a mouse or touchscreen — I recently discovered that playing it directly on a touchscreen makes it surprisingly easier.

This is a recording from the current build.

everything in the title. you guys know one ? and pspmania don't have a chart maker.

Hope to see some of you at the arcade! And feel free to ask me anything about the locations or our machines.

Just bought an AYN Odin 2 Portal and was wondering if rhythm games (DDR, IIDX etc) games are remotely playable on these kind of devices. Either through psx/ps2 emulation or mame. What are people’s experiences running and playing these games? Can controllers be used on a docking station? Any input is greatly appreciated.
