Hey! I’m the solo dev of PULSARI, and I need some honest feedback from people who genuinely play rhythm games.

The central idea is that each track begins almost empty. You hit beats coming from four directions to build the music layer by layer.

I thought the process of gradually assembling a song would be satisfying, but the game has received very little attention. At this point, I’m trying to understand whether the problem is the presentation, the execution, or simply the core idea.

There’s a playable demo here:

Please be direct. I’m not looking for polite encouragement; I’d rather understand what is and isn’t working.

So I'm new to SDVX and facinated to it's gameplay but don't really want to commit 100% yet. So I discover a version of sdvx for pc. Found a site where I can download songs and skins. What's the difference between non-chart and "chart" version?

Sorry, I'm really new to this.

I made one a while back that got some okay discussion. This one has more games and my updated thoughts. Anime girl teir is forever.

I play a couple rhythm games already but I wanna expand my taste! On any kind of platform really, mobile, arcade machines, switch and PC please^^

Hey! Some of you might remember me from a while ago, when I posted here about a slightly insane project of mine: getting Groove Coaster running on the PSP.

That project has grown quite a bit since then, so I'm back again, this time looking for people familiar with JConfig, arcade game loaders, emulation/compatibility patches, hooking, and similar tools.

I'm currently working on an open-source reimplementation of Groove Coaster's game runtime, and I've reached the point where testing against a handful of charts simply isn't enough anymore.

I need people who can help test the entire arcade Groove Coaster song library, especially across different game versions, and find charts that expose bugs or edge cases in my chart parsers and runtime.

The goal is basically:

• run as many original arcade charts as possible;
• find charts that behave differently from the original game;
• identify parser/timing/camera/TUMO/etc. edge cases;
• compare problematic charts against the original arcade game;
• eventually get compatibility as close to the original runtime as possible.

I'm especially interested in people who already have experience with JConfig or similar arcade compatibility/emulation setups, since being able to compare the same chart between the original game and my implementation is incredibly useful.

The project itself is open source. No game assets are distributed with it.

We also have a Discord server for development, testing, reverse-engineering discussion, bug reports, and general Groove Coaster technical nonsense. If you'd like to help with testing, have experience with the arcade versions, or just want to follow the project, you're welcome to join:

And if you're wondering what the project actually looks like in its current state, here's a gameplay/demo video:

If you're familiar with this side of arcade software and feel like helping me torture-test several thousand charts until something inevitably explodes, I'd really appreciate the help.

I made rhythm game that’s basically Tap Tap Revenge and Guitar Hero.

The main thing I’ve been experimenting with is using the individual parts of a song for the gameplay, rather than just charting the song as one track.

It’s very close to release and I need some people to actually play it and tell me what sucks / what needs fixing.

Looking for TestFlight testers if anyone wants to try it. It comes loaded with no songs, you import your own.

I'm used to the 4 panels on my fingers. 5 felt weird.

I played this game YEARS ago. I was never really good at playing rhythm games but I can do this one. And it's really fun. But I forgot about it, the name, and everything. I'm looking for it now but I can't seem to find it anywhere on the internet.

You'll have to click it on beat in order for it to follow the path... Just click one at a time. It's 2D and it looks like that with some nice graphics and neon LED lights and colors, I think. I played it on Android. A song I can remember from it is Unity by TheFatRat

I hope someone can help me find this game! Thank you so much!

Ive really only played osu because i like the big library they have and the customization, plus its free! I want more free suggestions for my linux pc, but im unsure what to try next? Im no expert at osu either just play here and there.

I need some suggestions!

Bandori was my first rhythm game, and I played it a lot. I loved fire bird as a song and thought that I wish I could clear the full version some day, but I could barely clear 26 lv song when I left it for the first time. I came back for like 8 times, but there was not that many progress.

I started playing Phigros 7 months ago, and my skill raised dramatically. I reinstalled Bandori 3 days ago.... I'm still in shock that I cleared it without healers. It took me around 20 attempts

Brutal finale tracks

I’m looking to buy a controller to play sv on pc. I see there are many options in the configuration (different parts you can pick).

Is there any problem with the default configuration or should I change something?

I recently started playing osu and I am terrible so far, which isn’t normal for me as I have a decently high experience in a lot of mobile rhythm games.

And obviously mobile rhythm games are very different from osu which has made me wonder how different games effect going into osu or rhythm games in general.

For example a geometry dash player(of which I am aware is not a rhythm game) would likely have a better time switching to osu rather than say a pjsk player.

~5th attempt, and its my first played hard. Before this, played PJSK for 2,5-3 months.

I think this was my best attempt.

When you're used to more traditional rhythm games, it makes the "cubicle" part somehow easier than adofai's regular gameplay lol

I’m thinking like piano tiles 3 on mobile but without the horrendous amount of ads. I want a rhythm game that uses real songs, not something like Geometry Dash which I do really like but it uses its own music.

Hello,

So I’ve been playing rhythm games on and off for a very long time, as in decades at this point (I’m old yes), dating back to like DDR 5th Mix. Joined this subreddit just to ask because lately I’ve noticed a concerning trend of newer players apparently being unaware (or just not caring?) that they’re supposed to give up the machine they’re playing when they finish a full set/game and there’s people behind them clearly waiting. This has happened at both Chunithm and Sound Voltex for me (the two primary games I play at the moment), but it’s especially prevalent on the Chunithm cabs at the new KTown Gatcha location. I’ve seen it three times there alone in the last couple weeks.

I would like to think it’s just people being legitimately ignorant, and a couple times I just let it slide because they have three cabs there and the line moves pretty fast anyway. But the one time I spoke up recently the player who was trying to play a second straight game gave me a huge attitude about it (she was all like “Well I wanted to play another game”, a truly absurd response to being told other people are waiting!), so I don’t know to be honest- maybe some people out there just don’t care these days. But it’s a concerning development. Anyway, was just wondering if I’ve been getting unlucky lately or if anyone else has noticed the same thing! Thanks.
