3 years after buying the Racial Justice and Inequality bundle I decided to randomly try this game out.
It runs well on SteamDeck, just make sure to change controls from kb/m to controller if you're using big picture mode.
I like some 2hu(still suck at it) and rhythm games, so the concept in of itself was interesting.
This game can be easily cleared within one sitting, took me around an hour to an hour and a half, had a surprisingly good time with it. I only finished it once though.
I missed like half of the references I imagine, so I'd just call this a professional shitpost. You don't technically hop over ledges, and Chizuru doesn't shoot lasers.
One thing that I found to be annoying, even though you can get adjusted to it is that the framerate is locked to 30FPS. 60FPS the rhythm indicator feels like it flies whenever it goes across the screen. Didn't quite feel the rhythm of the tracks while playing, but I also was playing half the game with it on low volume/while multitasking so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
The game does feel a bit too zoomed out while playing though, but you get used to it after a while.
Reflecting feels a bit like a crapshoot, I didn't adjust the setting for it but it feels like 70% of the time I want to reflect, I get an absorb instead.
Also the timer keeps ticking even when the game is paused.
Easy recommend.
Also violet is best color.
Oh wait this is a comment section, not a review corner.
Edit:Turns out you can actually review games when you rate them.... But I'm leaving this here anyway.
This was very nice, a good fundamental concept and it's low grade color scheme added to the charm.
The only nitpick was it was hard to keep rhythm to the audio/music. It was good music, though unless it's especially beat heavy it can be hard to keep sync.
But this was a worthwhile play from the racial justice bundle, thanks for including it!
Trying to infuse rhythm-based gameplay into other genres is always such an exciting endeavor! The graphics probably needed some more detail to be this zoomed out, but there are some fun design ideas at work here.
didn't know what i was getting myself into with this game. but im very glad i checked it out. i thought the gameplay was fun and easy to pick up as someone with no experience with bullet hell games. excellent presentation with both graphics and music. all of the delicious features listed on the page were present. good stuff!
anyone who checks out this game must play "Yuuto Ichika Makes Friends" as a follow-up game

Hey, I'm working on a beat mapper app for music-based games. It's called MBOY Editor (https://vfpe.itch.io/mboy-editor) Do you want to try it for your game? Vic
i would pay very good money for a sequel
