There's even a challenge map on the game that's called drift lol

Might actually work, turning in rhythm to music, you’ll even get to listen to a cool beep beat from a tall computer in a white room

[@rocketlanterns]

I love how Rhythm games as a genre is like, the single most innovative one when it comes to control schemes and core gameplay, especially ones that leverage the unique quirks of the platform they are on, like, touch screen games getting away with flicks, phones having gyro, arcade games literally designing a control scheme that works for them because you can do whatever you want on an arcade pcb.

[@henryzhang224]

Fun Fact: There's a line in Rotaeno saying "The revolutionary rhythm game"

[@bmo3778]

"The innovative mechanics will turn the entire game"

is it wrong tho?

[@Raoul1808.]

@@smug_slime speeeeeen :) I had floating ideas to make a rhythm game inspired from rotaeno where you would use your controller’s gyroscope to catch notes, that idea eventually evolved into using 2 different controllers to catch notes (something line 2 joy-cons or VR controllers)

[@Heaven56125612]

seeing my high school classmates developing this game by scratch during free time, till him updating the progress of the declaration on social media year after year till now we graduated from uni, feel so different when it finally comes out and appears on different platforms and youtubers that I subscribed long ago😂🤭really hope this game could become more popular!

[@aryasaktiflister_aw]

this looks like it was designed for thumb play while holding it up. That slam notes are really innovative. Also the gimmicks at 3:19 shows that they may have implemented negative BPM and variable time signatures which makes room for cool SV-like gimmick maps in the future

[@eemeli7093]

Or they just programmed an gimmick option for charters lol

[@ZhadTheRad]

That kind of thing with the chart going backwards happens in other rhythm games too. Most notable example I can think of is You are the Miserable in Lanota and WACCA

[@literallyafk]

the devs literally said : gimmick this gimmick that imma make this whole phone a gimmick and BAM! rotaeno honestly it's THE craziest and most fun rhythm game i've played so far, with arcaea and d4dj coming at a very far second

[@sp3edah]

Just started playing this morning on launch, its quite fun! They definitely took lots of notes from Arcaea, and honestly that’s a good thing. I’m not sure how much I will play just yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up being quite a lot.

[@losermanwins4338]

Glad I wasnt the only one with my eye on this game, it's such an amazing concept! Love it so far!

[@DOCTOR.DEADHEAD]

This is so cool, especially since I played Chrono Circle for the first time this month and loved it so much that I wished there was a mobile version, then here comes a new game with a similar rotating mechanic lol

[@sneilson11]

Fun fact the entire game only uses touch screen. The buttons are pads that touch the screen under the rim. So theoretically you could play it entirely using the touch screen meaning it could be a mobile game if it wanted.

[@DOCTOR.DEADHEAD]

@@sneilson11 Ooo I didn't know that. From what I've read online the game is still relatively new, so I hope they actually do consider porting it later down the line.

[@sneilson11]

@@DOCTOR.DEADHEAD it would be an interesting change but I could see chrono port litetally just being Rotaeno but with a cytus type part smacked on top of it

[@MisterVercetti]

This kinda feels like the mechanics for Spin Rhythm XD translated to a circular screen. Outside of that, I'm so glad there's finally a mobile rhythm game designed with _phones_ in mind. Most others seem like they were made for tablets, where you have more screen real estate. Those games tend to be borderline unplayable on phones once you reach higher difficulties due to things being so ridiculously cramped. It doesn't seem like you'd have that problem with this game. Overall, this is looking like a must-get. Thanks for letting us know about it!

[@jerecakes1]

my only problem with tablet designed rhythm games is thumb friendly-ness(????) and rotaeno fills my heart soo well also orzmic (except for splatter doll fuck that special diff but i overcame my skill issue and got the ³ rating so it's good)

[@avoidthevo1d]

Yes, the game JUST came out, and there are already almost half as many paid songs as there are "free" ones. And the game is not free, btw. The concept looks interesting, the "slam" notes kinda remind me of Sound Voltex

[@ryoukaip]

is there a lot of free song?

[@elevatorz89]

[@jugemujugemugokonosurikire4735]

I found a "life hack" for the flick notes. Just flick your device to the flick notes. It's "technically" a flick note.

[@13Maur]

Man, i dont really like mobile rhythm games, but this is crazy fun! Its one of those games where the notes makes sense in my head. Im dum and cant play osu for that reason...

[@KPoWasTaken]

[@raptorlite6060]

@@KPoWasTaken for me, the flick motion is kinda uncomfortable to do, especially since my phone sucks and can't register it properly sometimes.

[@yahirdoesbadvids]

@@KPoWasTaken it usually cause of 2 reasons. 1. They're unresponsive/very tight 2. They're uncomfortable, aren't charted in well, or just don't fit. The only game that I actually like flick notes in is phigros (and also rotaeno cause they use a very similar leniency). VOEZ did it pretty well but it was meh for me, atleast it was better than cytus II flick notes.

So two months later, I must say I've been having an absolute _blast_ with this game. This has already jumped up to the top of my "all-time favorites" when it comes to rhythm games. I just wish they'd release the next story update already! Then again, it took Deemo a while to drop its first major update after its initial release, and it was definitely worth the wait, so I guess patience pays. Thanks again for putting this game on my radar!

[@MangInutil]

If you don't know yet, the next chapter is coming!

[@beardheartgaming4008]

Just found out about this game today, and I’m loving it a lot! It has really good music! Also, something I noticed about “flicks” is you don’t have to necessarily flick. You can leave your fingers on the screen and simply turn the screen, like when you do the turn notes and it will work, and it actually makes some songs easier in the harder difficulties utilizing this technique!

[@phuhuy3865]

Rotaeno is the only rhythm game that i can play while lying down, which is really great for my back lol

[@XericIsNotMyName]

i cant play the game because i dont have a gyroscope :( anyways this game is great AND the art style is STUNNING

You can play the game with an accelerometer if you get it from TapTap. However, it's not the best experience.

One thing I don't like is that your miles and stuff cap and there's no more story content for now, so we have to wait until there's more story content or you feel like you're "wasting" your play. Either way I'm having a ton of fun and liked it enough to buy the DLC song packs. Hope you're still having fun with it, too!

Can't wait for april fools chart where you have to rotate the screen and use 5 fingers for notes at the same time Also can't wait for spin eternally where you have to spin your phone 7 times around in 3-4 seconds and 12 times in 6 seconds The flick notes registering from you tapping actually has to do with the rotating phone gimmick, if your fingers are on the flick and you rotate your phone, the playfield moves which means the flick note moves from your thumb/finger, registering as a flick
