this game is absolutely nuts. it's the only rhythm game i've ever played that could be described as brutal. it's like some sort of alternate-reality metalocalype version of amplitude

It's definitely something you gotta play though, to see why its so intense. Video by itself doesn't really impart you with that.

Even when you get up to like level 4?

Its a slow game at first but it keeps adding mechanics over time.

yeah, this is the thing. the early levels "feel" intense because of the sensation of speed but are pretty easy if you play rhythm games a lot. but every new mechanic makes thing a little tougher, and soon you're having to fly over, lean past, and dodge all kinds of crazy obstacles while still maintaining time with the beat. at the point in the game where i am now i can't play for long periods because the level of focus required to comprehend everything that's going on is just insane

Especially if you want to s rank because you can survive without hitting everything, but if you want all the bonus points you have to hit every slam to uncover the hidden notes and ride every wall, even going off the shortest path to hit them.

It takes too long for that to happen then. Especially for a game where you want to get on a leaderboard and you can already tell Level 1 is so slow and boring to try to get a high score on.

Good news, the hard mode they just added removes the tutorials!

The bad news is that it also removes the checkpoints, increases the tempo as your multiplier increases, and blocks you from regaining health unless you're on max multiplier :stonk:

Hot tip is you can use R1 instead of X which I loving needed cause I death gripped my controller the whole game.

Game is insanely good. Final boss and levels are :poolgirl::captainpop:
