Player Experience Highlights

Community Insight:

Im giving it a five star to bump the rating lololol we like this game anyway.


Not mad! Honestly, if the amount. Of free content is more than the paid content, we'll be happy. It's good. Please allow us to play offline.


Poor visibility due to the track, tap notes, and hold notes all being blue, as well as the fullscreen note type being very difficult to see at higher difficulties. Other than that, fun game that's very straight to the point, and it being only in japanese isn't an issue if you can read a bit of the alphabet. Small but nice song selection. We enjoy it. WACCA emulation is also a plus for us.


Nice update and thanks for continuing to work on this.


We havent played the game very long, but its still pretty fun. Im not new to rhythm games so we already understand the menu, even though it wasn't english. It can definitely get challenging, but we think if you like rhythm games, this a pretty good addition to your collection. English would be nice to have but we dont think it matters that much. The way the game looks is also very pretty. We think Ill be playing it for a long time.


We loved the new song, and the new difficulty to massive. Its just that the music isnt synced with the notes, and its really difficult.


But it just has too many glaring issues. First and foremost, the charts just arent very good. They dont match the music well and dont feel good to play. The placement of notes and holds and whatnot seems largely done at random. Slide notes arent introduced until the third difficulty level, which is unfortunate because theyre a lot of fun but you only get them by ramping up the difficulty a ton. Though we dont feel that the slides are used very well either; the majority of the time they seem thrown in at random. Reading the charts is a disaster. The biggest problem is the lack of any distinction between notes that are at the same time and notes that are simply close together. There are times when you are expected to perform streams of alternating double notes and single notes, and since the double notes arent distinguished, its practically impossible to read. Any time there are notes that are close together its basically impossible to tell. It doesnt help that its entirely in Japanese, and that the sound options dont seem to do anything to quiet down the title and menu, which are extremely loud. And that the note touch sfx is so loud by default that it drowns out the music. We think this game would be a lot better if they took some notes from similar circle games like Wacca, Lanota, and MaiMai. We really, really want to like this game, but its just way too rough around the edges.


We like this game. And the music is amazing :).


This game has the similar 360 circle touchpad play system as the Wacca arcade machine at Round1 arcades, or in Japanese arcades… So if you are looking for a way to practice your Wacca skills at home, this is it! Swipe swipe, tap, tap away! Not sure how we feel about this song selection; do more songs open up as we level up in play skills? Would like to see more songs, but maybe we just need to play more.


The hit sounds are a bit annoying, but overall great! Its in Japanese, but pretty to navigate.


Why are the hold notes so sensitive.
