This game has become my go to "I need my brain to think about something else" game. The community is expansive, and the custom tracks are great. The in game tracks are also very fun to play. Maybe my favourite rhythm game.

worlds first keyboard rhythm game where your fundies wont be enough to allow you to just start on the hardest difficulty. hell honestly, not even the 2nd hardest either. this game is a reading nightmare on the higher difficulties, but easy/medium are still super accessible to newcomers. it feels good. hitting the buttons feels good, the animations feel good, the charts feel good; its overall a very satisfying experience EDIT: this game, by default, enables vsync, and it is not in the options menu. given that vsync produces input delay, and that this is a rhythm game with a frame perfect judgement window (16.67ms wide, not based on framerate), this is a problem. HOWEVER, you can turn off vsync in the config file located at: C:\Users\user\AppData\LocalLow\Brace Yourself Games here is a steam link to the instructions: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2073250/discussions/0/600769761663517032/ i initially struggled to hit perfects consistently in this game, and i assumed the problem to be the songs being off sync. but since my turning off of vsync, i have seen instant results across multiple songs that i assumed to be different values of off-beat. everything feels clean now, though i will admit the judgment window in this game is SUPER tight.

Fun game, learning curve can be a bit steep at the start. If you are used to playing rhythm games, your arrogance will bite you in the ass if you start on hard difficulty. You will need a couple of hours on medium for sure. If you want your brain melted this is the perfect game.
