This was my first (proper) rhythm game! I like the unique way this game visualizes rhythm. It's strangely intuitive. I found it extremely satisfying to improve at this game (and frustrating). I even think about music differently now, being much more aware of complex rhythms.

ADOFAI has a good selection of music, including jazz. The official stages mostly focus on tricky rhythms over precise timings, which I appreciate. The difficulty curve is a bit inconsistent for a new player, and Heracles kicked my ass. You can play levels out of order though, so it's alright.

I picked up this game because I saw a playthrough of Third Sun and thought "I want to be able to do that." Six months later I have mastered that stage (among others) and I recently started dabbling in workshop levels.

I wish the itchio release had better support for custom levels. I ended up needing to buy a Steam key in addition.
