its nice but i think an 8 string version whoud be nice but its still a good play

Edit: they changed the notes and background to be more inline with "normal" rythm games. Which is something I really appreciate. I still think it needs either the ability to remove note density for beginners or have more actual beginner friendly rythms. Pretty neat, but still needs some work to feel "done". I get some small minor graphic "stuttering" while playing with a 3080 Ti, though I am unsure if thats because the current build seems to be a debug build. It lacks some options that normal rythm games have like "difficulty" from note density. Density seems to depend on the collection style you pick currently. If you're a beginner you're going to struggle with the note density in a lot of the styles even if you end up at 4 or 6 keys. You can increase/decrease note speed though. ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶o̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶b̶u̶g̶s̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶a̶b̶i̶l̶i̶t̶y̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶c̶h̶a̶n̶g̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶e̶ ̶b̶a̶c̶k̶g̶r̶o̶u̶n̶d̶.̶ ̶N̶o̶t̶e̶s̶ ̶e̶n̶d̶ ̶u̶p̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶l̶i̶n̶e̶s̶ ̶i̶n̶s̶t̶e̶a̶d̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶i̶r̶ ̶o̶w̶n̶ ̶l̶a̶n̶e̶ ̶w̶h̶i̶c̶h̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶c̶o̶n̶f̶u̶s̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶i̶f̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶'̶r̶e̶ ̶u̶s̶e̶d̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶n̶o̶r̶m̶a̶l̶ ̶r̶y̶t̶h̶m̶ ̶l̶i̶n̶e̶ ̶g̶a̶m̶e̶ ̶s̶t̶y̶l̶e̶.̶ What I really do like: - Quite a few musical sound and rythm styles that you can just playing as much as you like. - You can go from 1 to 10 keys on any of those styles - it just keeps going as long as you want All in all, it's affordable and scratches the rythm game vibe I also get from djmax/ez2on though I hope there will be an option to change the note background and note density at some point.

Even though I don't usually play rhythm games and I am not very good at them, I still quite enjoy vibing with this one every now then. It has plenty of accessibilty settings that make it easy for me to get started and hopefully get better over time.

Great game for getting into a flow state although the full 10 key set was too tough for me as a novice. Once I turned it down to 6 keys (for me, a good balance) I really enjoyed it. Im sure this is something a more experienced rythm game player could really sink their teeth into. Great tracks and Ive enjoyed the time so far.

I'm not usually a rhythm game kind of person. To be completely honest, any kind of game that requires reflexes is usually not meant for me. However, the creator has done everything in his power to make this accessible to people of all skill levels. There are plenty of ways to customise the gameplay (I was honest to myself and changed my settings to a maximum of four keys... and i'm still struggling but having fun! Will I change the speed settings at some point..? Perhaps...?) and the graphics! You can change the colours of just about any of the elements (I have a cool grey setting hehe). There is a wide variety of songs to choose from - I immediately knew some of them were not for me but I do have some strong favourites already (Ingranaggi Striscianti, Bi Katuak, and Danza del Fenix). I like that the songs can essentially go on forever though they don't loop in any obvious way (I believe that's where the algorythm from the title comes into play but i still don't fully understand it); this allows me to go into zen mode and just chill. I also like that they come in compilations so you know that if one of them works for you you'll probably like similar ones... If attempting the harder ones was feasible for you that is. I have a feeling that the skill ceiling is preeeetty high for this game and it would probably be enjoyed more/fully exploited by more skilled/experienced/musically gifted people than me but... I'm having fun! I also like for chill and low-risk it can be, it records lots of stats but only really shows you if you improve, there is no sense of guilt/shame if you fail. That being said, there are lots of achievements and cool things you could do if you were actually trying to get good at it!

So, originally my review was negative. because the game was visually unplayable for me due to the notes being so close to each other and even overlapping each other partially. Despite my criticism being pretty blunt, the dev took it serious and was super fast in fixing the issue adding a note mode that does exactly what I wanted. Big wow. I didn't expect any of that. And it's so good! Now I can enjoy the uniqueness of this game and get into that awesome flowstate of just vibing with the music. So, awesome game with awesome and dedicated dev. Definitely earned this positive review by far.
