Highly recommend that you give it a try. It’s got a high skill-ceiling (See: My time.) with an array of helpful options/tools to get you to those extreme charts. The editor takes a bit of time to learn (I’d say 5 to 10 hours to get the hang of it.), but has a fast workflow once you figure things out.

More than anything, I think this game has potential. Just sticking with the game for ~3 quarters of a year, I’ve seen the game change a lot, and for the better too. Despite being a single developer, they often work on the game and is very responsive to the (rather small) community. A new note-type (something you don’t see often in rhythm games), camera effects, a ton of world customization options in the editor, and many other things were added since I’ve started playing. It’s incredibly impressive and I hope it pays off.

Intro

Let me start by saying that you should get this game. It’s fun, challenging, and offers lots of replayability. The tracks are your standard-fare EDM by largely unknown artists. They’re all pretty good (as are the beatmaps) and with the Workshop the track selection is only bound to improve. It’s F2P so there’s really no excuse not to try it out.

The Gameplay

Overall, the gameplay is incredibly fun. It’s similar to Amplitude’s but with a lot more inputs (9) and from what I can tell it’s almost a carbon copy of Sound Vortex. So if those games are your thing, this probably will be, too. Most of the beatmaps are stellar and really fun to play, with many complex and interesting patterns.

Mad Taxi

Mad Taxi

Mad Taxi is another asset flip from copy+paste merchants, HotFoodGames. This time they’ve ripped off someone else’s NW.js endless runner/reflex clicker game where you have to click your mouse button when the taxi hits one of the arrows.

I mean, if you’re going to plagiarise someone else’s work by asset flipping, at least you could flip something decent? Apparently not. Anyway, this is bundle worsening asset flip garbage that got dumped into cheap nasty DailyIndieGame bundles and should be avoided.

Ragnarock

Ragnarock

Ragnarock has the best tracks of any rhythm game and I’ve played almost all of them. It takes time learning to hit the drums and booster shields accurately and getting the timings right. It’s a simple concept, but hard to master. Completely skill based. The multiplayer races are super fun and as far as I know, unique to Ragnarock.

The best multiplayer VR Rhythm game hands down, easily accessible to new players while offering great features for veterans, awesome soundtrack with support to import additional custom tracks.

Details for rhythm veterans; a faithful translation of a 4-lane VSRG into VR with tight timing windows and extremely competitive leaderboards even on lower difficulty songs. Highly customizable controls (angle/length/offset type settings for hammers), custom scroll speeds, practice mode with variable playback speed up to 120%.

10/10 game what can I say. I am addicted and the game really is harder than it looks. If you’re competitive and love track & field this is the perfect game for you.

 I received this key for reviewing purposes, but this will not affect my review in any way.

My Impression:

I love puzzle games. I am terrible at music related activities because I really don’t listen to much music, only when I workout. I went in with an open mind and was like, I’ll give this a shot and go back to Xcom 2 after I try it out. The game is incredible, I can’t stop playing.

This would be a great game to warm up your reflexes for your main games.

Positive:

Short Version

Dub Dash is a rhythm-based game that translates the “wobbly” beats of dubstep music into a giant, revolving disco ball and has the player dodging and weaving around obstacles by tapping left or right to “jump” or holding the key down to “bounce”. Levels range from simple-but-tricky to complex, mind-bending challenges.

The level comes to life as you time your keystrokes successfully, with equalizer-like structures popping up around you and rather euphoric-looking smiley faces silently cheering you on, all of which are changing color like a chameleon suffering with multiple personality disorder.

Synthwave Burnout

Synthwave Burnout

Interesting control system. Unlike all races, here we are still given the opportunity to play as a driver without a car. I wonder what will happen if you run to the finish line without a car? It will be too long, but perhaps some secret awaits us. Personally, I haven’t tried it.

This game as a whole is quite attractive with its visual style. There are various tracks in the retro style of the 80s and 90s. Neon cities, relaxing music, palm trees at sunset. But one big problem is that the physics of the car is far from the best. Very strange behavior when driving, there is a feeling that we are driving on ice. One wrong move and the car is out of track. I hope this issue will be resolved once the game is fully accessible.
