This game is HARD. My only complaint is there isn't enough things to spend your diamonds on. Otherwise this game has an amazing soundtrack, super cool enemies and bosses, and a mechanic like no other.

Not a bad game by any means, but it is far more a roguelike than it is a rhythm game. The only rhythm is moving and attacking to the beat which is pretty much always the same. Not my cup of tea even though miku's in it

This game ticks all my boxes. I love rhythm games, difficult games, and roguelikes, and I've sunk tons of time into this on both PC and switch. Fair warning, it's a very difficult game, but it's super rewarding when you

This is very fun rhythm dungeon crawler, which is a pretty unique genre in itself. It's satisfying to learn enemy patterns, and it feels get to finally get "the run" and get past road blocks. I will say, completionists

I'm honestly surprised this has a native Linux port given how complex Linux's audio stack is. Runs well and does not even heat my laptop. The game has charming pixel art, great music and a really great take on rougelike
