a perfect rhythm hell gameplay

this is literally as perfect as you can get. you will eventually lose to the timer so how far you can go is also based on luck.

Can't believe I'm about to type this, please forgive me. So, when the timer reaches 0, you fart. When you clap, you get a little more time. There is only one conclusion to be made of this. You have really bad gas while on stage and are using the sound of each clap to let a little off without anyone hearing, when the timer reaches 0 you can't hold it until the next clap. Again, I'm so sorry.

Cool point smartass, a bad mechanic is a bad mechanic. You know exactly what hell means, a very difficult challenge, not an unfair one.

[@mariotheundying]

It should at least not end the game whenever the game feels like it, if there's competition to get the high score and this doesn't change then the game ending it itself should count as getting the max points, aka no competition

[@DoctorTex]

@@mariotheundying Honestly, genuine Rhythm Heaven isn't any better. After all, there IS a max amount of points per game since the song still ENDS.

[@mariotheundying]

@@DoctorTex the difference between this and that is that this game seems like it was supposed to go infinitely, rhythm heaven doesn't have that purpose, except the endless games which do serve their purpose as long as you're frame perfect in timings If this wasn't supposed to be infinite, and the timer was supposed to go down when you can't do anything like a lot of people thought otherwise, then smths wrong with the game tbh as its counterintuitive in the 2 things that make up its entire gameplay
