The gameplay features three distinct mechanics: traditional note-hitting, blocking notes with a moving laser beam, and directional hits that require precise pad interactions. Players appreciate the handcrafted beats, which enhance the dynamic and challenging nature of the game, making it particularly engaging for fans of rhythm games. Overall, it offers a polished experience with unique VR mechanics that cater to those familiar with Asian music rhythm games.
- “There are three mechanics to the game: hitting the notes like a regular drum, blocking the notes in the form of a moving laser beam continually as a run-on note, and directional hits that require you to hit the pad(s) in a specific direction to avoid missing the note.”
- “The beats are handcrafted, which is a vitally important point of difference from more procedurally oriented beat/rhythm games, allowing the gameplay to be a lot more interesting and dynamic. The transitions between each beat feel much more engaging and challenging.”
- “There are engaging unique mechanics like arrows that appear where you have to hit the beat and then swerve the controller in the arrow's direction, along with neat touches like a character popping up when you reach any hundred combo.”
- “The gameplay feels overly simplistic, with only three mechanics: hitting notes like a regular drum, blocking notes with a moving laser beam, and directional hits that require you to strike the pads in a specific direction to avoid missing notes.”
- “The mechanics are repetitive and lack depth, making the gameplay feel monotonous after a short period.”
- “I found the controls to be unresponsive at times, which led to frustrating moments during gameplay.”
