How it feels

A rhythm game where you tap along to vibrant, pulsating electronic music, with a focus on precision and user-created content.

What players say

Players are split on this free rhythm game. Some praise the concept and music, but many say it is abandoned early access with no updates for years. The default 11-key layout is widely criticized as overwhelming, the lack of calibration makes timing feel off, and there is no tutorial to ease new players in. Custom song support is reportedly broken, with help pages gone.
