Hidden Gem! Please at least give this game a try. This game deserves way more players than it currently has! This game has scratched all the right itches (at least for me). It has: - Unique Visual Style - Unique Gameplay - Sick Walking Animation (trust me, you'll agree with me when you see it) - A Story that at some point will feel relatable for like 90% of players - Absolute Banger of a Soundtrack - Lots of jokes and gags - Funny robotic voiceover - Quite diverse customization - And a Workshop Oh yeah, and it's a rhythm game as well, and BEFORE YOU START HISSING AND CRYING that rhythm games are too hard or you don't like them at all, just give the game a try. The gameplay is not like your average rhythm game. Trust me, it's a pure dream, or rather a meditation session. That's one of the things that clicked for me: the game is not focused on being a rhythm game, it's purely focused on V I B E S. I keep coming back to the levels that I've already full-comboed just to feel the V I B E S again. TL;DR – Worth every dollar spent, relatable story, great soundtrack, unique gameplay. Please at least give this game a try.

If I had a nickel for every time a rhythm game made me cry, I'd had three nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's curious that it happened thrice. In all seriousness, this game has great gameplay, great songs, an extremely unique artstyle and some great dialogues. If you're a creative person this game hits especially hard. Give it a try. P.S.: The other games are Sayonara Wild Hearts and Vivid/Stasis

I did not expect a rhythm game to make me feel so seen and appreciated, but this one's got such heart and sincerity it kept making me emotional. And that's not even to speak of the excellent rhythm mechanics and soundtrack. A must-buy for rhythm game enjoyers. ...also it let me dress up in ears and a tail which you can't do in Osu! so there's that.

Hyperbeat is a rhythm game masterpiece. From start to finish, I was transfixed by every aspect - from music to gameplay to even story (!). The soundtrack is all original, and it's fantastic enough that I want to listen to it even out of game (please let me buy it!). It's a collection of 20 tracks, organised into 4 "chapters" with 5 songs each. They're all electronic music (sorry for being vague, genre nerds) and each has a different vibe that reflects the character the chart represents. The game nails the other key ingredient, the rhythm gameplay. This is not another one of the 4 button rhythm games that has you tapping and holding buttons to the beat. Instead, it controls similarly to a rail shooter like Space Harrier or Star Fox - Rez might be the most relevant comparison here, given the similar vibe - flying through abstract tunnel environments. Hyperbeat's equivalent of the stream of notes dropping down from the top of the screen takes the form of circular targets streaming down the tunnel towards and reaching your screen in time to the beat. You tend to stay on the outer edge of the tunnel unless you need to cross suddenly from one side to another, making it almost reminsicent of Tempest and its descendents (I think mostly of Space Giraffe in this regard). I'm also reminded of the way osu! plays and in fact one of the preferred control methods to play that game, tablet, is also supported here. Where the genius of Hyperbeat really stands out to me is scoring. Many rhythm games stick to taps and hold notes, which is not in itself a bad thing. However, as a casual enjoyer of rhythm games with an absolute lack of rhythm, I tend towards the lower difficulties, and these are often unengaging because the solution to making a song easier to play through tends to be just having fewer notes. This leads to sections requiring very few button presses and really disrupts the process of getting into a flow state, which is where I think good rhythm games really shine (and even games which aren't technically rhythm games but heavily incorporate music into the gameplay, such as Rez). Hyperbeat avoids falling prey to this issue by having different types of notes. One kind scores you based on how close to the center you fly through it, one kind scores based on your timing of a swipe or button press, one kind based on both accuracy and timing, and some notes award the full points value just by flying through them. There also sustain (hold) versions of these. The more strictly scored notes tend to show up in higher quantity on the harder songs and higher difficulties. This allows even the easiest songs to feel rhythmic and engaging, without the awkward breaks between notes of a traditional button-tapping kind of rhythm game, as all you need to do is touch the notes to be scored and rewarded with a satisfying hit sound to the beat of the song. The game also supports the creation of custom beatmaps and while I haven't yet played any, I'd love to see the community grow so that the great gameplay can be leveraged for more and more songs. To my surprise, I enjoyed the story, which definitely isn't at the top of my list of expecations when buying a rhythm game. Since it's short and sweet, I won't delve into it and spoil anything, but it's a bit of a vague and open to interpration kind of story with an uplifting message (at least, I thought so). There are a handful of characters which each have their own particular way of speaking and I thoroughly enjoyed finding out about each character. Though dialogue is voiced entirely by text to speech, it didn't detract from the game for me. If anything, it enhanced the "weird PS2 game you've never heard of" vibe. All in all, this is a must-have for even the most casual of rhythm game players. It's worth checking out even if you're not interested in rhythm games typically, but like playing weird and experimental stuff like Rez,
