What players say
Very great rhythm game, the difficulty curve is really good and I like how it teaches you section by section before giving you the full song. The music is really good and the maps are very intuitive to read and play.

I will either spend thousands of hours just to become mediocre, or I will quit from shame. I am early, late, and perfect. Thank you game with the balls. Satisfying game. Multiple times per-second you're getting affirmation of your precision which continuously shoots you full of validation (it dose end up loosing it's potency after about 100 attempts with you still falling on 5%), but it climaxes when the level...
ill recommend this if you like Geometry Dash, USO! or maybe other rhythm games. 100 out of 100 this is perfect.
