Everything Rhythm Game Players Hate in a Single Game

[@Diasqui]

I really liked the intro!! And your editing style too :D I agree, relying on visual cues is annoying but it kinda tests your own inner metronome and understanding of note values. And that 5 count definitely is rhythm hell lol

[@Derpediah]

Yeah, I actually don't really how it turns off the audio, its cool that it forces you to read sheet music, and from a gameplay point of view it adds SO much tension! I think I'm just sad I can't play with my eyes closed :( Also thanks for the kind words :)

Good intro. Now you are Personadiah.

[@manstick64]

i think the neat thing about this game is that it moreso tests your sight reading if anything, which can get challenging but is pretty fun to attempt lol

[@Derpediah]

Yeah, I do actually like how it tests your ability to read sheet music! This game is actually really addicting

Ah yes, Rhythm Hell. I vaguely remember seeing this ger turned into a game, but I've never played it. Maybe I should give it a go! I get what you mean about pulling audio cues when it should be keeping those and pulling visual cues. That reminds me of "Tunnel" from _Rhythm Heaven_ (DS), where you have to keep the beat in a moving car, but sometimes you pass through a tunnel where the music fades out but you have to keep going. Unlike this though, at least in Tunnel you just have to keep a constant beat. Also, is it just me, or does the clock tick down even when you're not doing inputs? That's what strikes me as infuriating; you can lose through no fault of your own, just because the game withholds chances to increase the timer. I've had that happen sometimes in Ouendan/osu!, and it's always frustrated me. No worries about not being able to talk; sometimes, you gotta focus, and that gives us the chance to listen to the in-game music! A few years back, I did a playthrough of a rhythm game, and I tried to keep quiet during gameplay to let myself focus and the viewers listen to the music. But wanting to talk is fair too; since you're cutting a lot, you're clearly focusing more on your gameplay, so it's important to keep the viewers engaged. Also, I had an inkling you weren't a rhythm master, but it's still fun to see you try new games regardless! Floundering is half the fun, after all. Keep at it!

Honestly, I’m glad people still acknowledge Louie’s beautiful work. For a video/game made in 2023, I’m surprised it still holds up today!

[@Derpediah]

I'm just surprised he turned it into a real game! It worked out because I always wanted to try it but never got the chance

[@mrrfyW]

@@Derpediah I see, glad you played it lol

[@DavetrapCourier6]

as of a year ago, someone managed a score of 63

[@SynoPTL]

Oh hey, I also saw that video

[@GeoRedSky]

I think you could show a little more gameplay, but I love your videos regardless! By the way, I think you should try out ADOFAI (A Dance of Fire and Ice). If you ever decide to play it, I want to warn you that it's not a Rhythm Heaven style rhythm game, since it has no audio cues, but I won't spoil anything else. Also, if you try Rhythm Hell again in the future, you should know that whenever you get the tuplets (5/7/9-tuplets) or any other tricky bar, you can listen for the other seal's claps and adjust yourself if you ever get the timing off. It definitely takes quite a bit of practice, but it's a really useful skill to have!

[@Derpediah]

Oooh, I've played ADOFAI! That game is so fun (although I'm terrible at it...) Also I'll try to add more gameplay, thanks for the suggestion!
