Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We wish Osu!stream would work again we keep getting kicked out, would it be possible to fix it. So we could play our childhood game again.
Ive been playing regular osu with a mouse and keyboard since 2020 (so about 5 years now) and just now decided to give this version a try on our old iPhone, and wow is this an amazingly refreshing experience! We were not expecting the standard difficulty maps to be kicking our butt this hard!! The way the different mechanics are integrated into some of the maps is very fun and breaks our brain a little, forcing us to relearn some mechanics that we thought we were plenty familiar with. It actually dig up some bad habits that we didnt even know that we had from playing the PC version. We also really enjoy how the expert difficulty is only playable after getting a good score on the standard difficulty, and honestly, as controversial of a change it would be, we really wish they did this in the main PC version of the game as well.
We need help, we close our eyes and we see them, the osu dots, the timing rings, all of it. Theres no escape. The osu dots will get you too.
We would like to play Osu!Stream again but it keeps kicking us out, we hope the app gets fixed or we hope it will get updated again. Because we really do miss playing Osu!Stream.
Great game Ive seen it before but can you PLEASE make iPhone 14 users able to play this because when this got downloaded it crashed immediately. PLEASE and thank you.
Hey its a good app but could you add osz support to import osu maps.
This game never lacks to challenge you, the soundtrack is pretty decent, mechanics are easy to understand (idk how some of yall are confused just play the game) some of the songs are amazing imo just to listen to as music, the frame rate almost never lacks, maybe its just nostalgia for us but this game will always be on our phone 100%.
Really likes the atmosphere of the osu community, really looking forward to lazer version on iOS. The changelog said lazer is already in development however its 2023 now and Im still waiting for it, anyway say thanks to the developers again, and hope we could meet lazer soon.
Unlike the pc version you cant make beat maps, please fix that.
Add a song pack that uses the FNAF songs by the living tombstone, 5/5 game nonetheless.
When we first discovered Osu we only played this version into like 3 years later we found the original game on the internet and still at this day Im still loving Osu.
The first time you have a chance at the top is the second one you get a free pass and you can go on your way back.
You added aperture laboratories want you gone ITS ALREADY AMAZING bc we freakin love that song just add more songs so then we can have even more fun including the other peeps keep up da good work! -kai.
The person who said they disliked and said it is not perfect we were like what? Nothing is perfect? But this game is amazing and we love it.
Its osu! For mobile. Its fun for the amount of songs there are included and is enjoyable playing.
After playing this no women will step within 20 feet of us without pepper spray we get absolutely no play and we have no rizz please help.
Only 1 portal song?!?!?!? Why not bother theres only 2.
To be honest we really like it. The songs arent really what we expected but they are still really good. Some of the songs remind us of indie and breakcore/hyperpop/8bit type stuff, aka packs like Kozumi and OK GO. To be honest accuracy is pretty hard but its still fun. Its nice to play just to fill time, definitely not to play competitively. We wish there were like more customization options like skins or something. Pretty cool tho.
Ive never really had a computer to play games on, so Ive been playing this version of Osu on and off for maybe 6 years now. We used to love it so much, but Ive opened it now and seen that all the songs are gone except for two of them. Im writing this review hoping we can figure out what happened. Did the servers get shut down? Or were there legal issues? We can accept the fact that the songs are gone, Im just curious about why.
Great game overall, a bit frustrating, but what good rhythm game isnt? One minor bug is that itll instantly crash if the screen time is up thing pops up. Its kinda annoying, but doesnt affect the quality of the game itself at all, just wanted to point it out.
Osu! Is a game about clicking circles. Whats so brilliant about that? How you do it. Clicking the circles the beat of songs requires aim, speed, and calmness. This is why osu!stream is also brilliant, maybe even more brilliant than osu! Itself. Osu!stream excludes every game mode from osu! But makes up for it by adding the stream gamemode. Stream is like the standard osu! Gamemode, but songs either get harder or easier depending on how you are doing. Doing bad? Take less circles. Doing good? Take more circles! Think you are the best? Try expert mode. Many benefits come from playing on a touch screen, including being able to click 2 circles at once, and just overall easier gameplay than the original osu! Where you have to click with a mouse, needing to aim like an fps game. Although this game is discontinued, peppy (the creator) has been working on a new client for osu! Planning to be released to all available platforms, including mobile, so soon, mobile players will be able to use all the benefits pc players get, like the original four game modes, standard, taiko, catch, and mania! So that is a very long explanation on why you should get this and get the new client as soon as it comes out. Ok bye.
We love this game so much! Tap, Slide, Hold and Spin to a beat you can feel.
Its a great rythem game if you are good at it.
So this is a great game but there needs more songs though we are trying to go to osu!mania not osu!stream because Im a rythem gamer we dont do rover at all.
Can u make the support up to iphone 12 and 13 please.
What can we say? No Ads? Free content? In the current state, This is Digital Perfection.
We havent played this before and we wanna play.
Please leave us alone mr. Osu we have a wife and kids we cant do this anymore.
It was honestly an amazing app and was the app that Ive been looking for.
We like this and all but, Id love to see like make your own songs etc, like for the computer. Overall great game.
May you please add a list of all the songs that are not copyrighted so people can play the game for YouTube.
This is a really good game but we cant stop listening to the intro music because its so good.
Computer version is more refined, but still super fun for mobile love it.
This game is really fun to play its literally Osu for mobile! We enjoy playing this everyday, we love playing babylon on stream mode, and every so g weather its eady or not, IT IS SO FUN.
Oh our gosh this game is so fun like who wouldnt play it we Will recommend you to play it.
Havent even played it, bu we know its gonna be epic-.
MAKE AN OSU MANIA PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE OMG PLEASE we LOVE OSU MANIA SO MUCH BUT we CANT PLAY IT WITHOUT MY PC PLEASE MAKE A MOBILE OSU MANIA PLEASE MAN PLEASE OMG PLEASE BRO we BEG YOU IM SUCH A BIG FAN OF OSU AND OSU MANIA IS MY FAV PLEASE MAKE A MOBILE VERSION OMG PLEASE OM PLEASEEEEEE.
We think theyre not okay atm, but thats OKAY.
We haven't been able to play it because we have an iPhone 8 and we hope it there is a chance to make it compatible we would be grateful.
Its so fun and all but we really wish for both Android and IOS that you can somehow download mods.
Sooo no more updates? We were just asking this because Im um a little new and we were just wondering.
This game is amazing we love the game so much.
We have an iPhone 8 and its not working why is it not working.
Ive been playing for 30 minutes and Im addictive to this ;_; HOW IN 30 XD.
Im 16k on bancho but still cant fc anything on this.
Its good but you should probably add osu mania and the other modes also add skins and new maps just like on pc.
Love this app but please add more SONGS.
So, we have no complaints about this. Mostly, that is. In the PC version of osu!, you can get custom songs, and even make your own beatmaps. Thats not in this version. Although updates wont come anymore, we highly respect the team that made this, as they did an absolutely amazing job! We look forward to playing osu!Lazer.
We love the game. The levels will push you a lot to do your best. Our only concern/complaint is how many levels there are.
The gameplay is really fun, and the stream difficulty mechanic means its always challenging and never frustrating. The only real issue is lack of a large number of songs. Not that thats a deal breaker, though. The first song is always super fun.
