What players say

93% of 87,035 reviews are positive · 93% of 716 in the last 30 days

Players praise the simple controls, the connection between path shapes and rhythms, and the large supply of custom levels. The most common complaint is that one mistake can end a level, making later stages and custom charts feel punishing or dependent on repeated memorization.
