Awful note detection, also the patterns feel like they are in no way connected to the music. Very repetetive gameplay loop with a couple of questionable design choices that not only encourage, but downright necessitate mindless grinding thanks to the needless inclusion of RNG.

The writing feels somewhat juvenile and too forced with all the "hip" vibe, although with my limited playtime I can't say for sure how it unfolds later in the game. As for the voice acting, for a game as focused on sound as this one claims to be, the quality of recording itself as well as it's mixing is terrible.

I have a soft spot for Ronald Jenkees' music, but do yourself a favour and just listen to it on it's own. No need to suffer through the gameplay loop for it.
