The mapping can get pretty interesting. But god, why does this game have to be so big and unoptimized? Extremely big for no reason and frequently lagged and dropped frames on my iPad Air 3 and iPad 9th gen

The gameplay is a little bare bones, but I can see why people would enjoy this game and its storyline. Personally a bit too slow and boring for me

Fairly well-built and optimized for mobile gaming. One of the better ways to play a Groove Coaster game if you don't have access to the arcade ports nor do you have a switch

Could be better. The other Groove Coaster ports are infinitely better than this one, so there's no point in getting this. Support for it is dead too. The menu UI is also ugly as all hell

Shame the servers are gone. I had a lot of fun with this game and it was my closest experience to ever playing something similar to maimai

The circular mapping is so disorienting especially in harder difficulties. Thank god they didn’t stick with this style for the sequel

It’s a kids’ game, so you can’t exactly expect much from this one. Very simple and easy. Objectively not a fun game for anyone older than 8 but I’m a sanrio person through and through so just the aesthetic alone hooked me for a bit

Felt like it focused more on delivering gacha than the actual quality of song mapping. Gotta say though, I think the Idolish7 songs are pretty banging

The creator abandoned the game and the community is dying out. Shame, I sunk a good bit of hours on this game and it had an interesting mapping scene (as in, a mix bag of either really good or what the fuck)

Very cheap feeling, the UI is not that appealing and very obviously unity-based. The game is reminiscent of voez and rizline but for PC. I like what it's going for though, and the song selection is fine albeit basic and similarly in-line with other rhythm games like it. Would like to see this game be improved upon.

Orzmic is like if Dynamix and maimai had a child and was kicked out of the house to fend for itself. This game keeps on getting harder and better like that Daft Punk song

I have a love-hate relationship with this game— I come back once every few months/years or so and usually only to relive playing mania and taiko. I’d be especially down bad if I end up coming back to this game to play standard because I hate that game mode with a passion (pure irrational hatred)

A little too simplistic for me charting-wise, but it's fine. Wish they did more given that classical music in general can get really complex

Wished this game had a more active community— I really like this jubeat-inspired numpad gameplay. It's kinda funny to me how much this game replicates osu's UI though

Not really considered a rhythm game per se, moreso runs as an aim trainer without the osu tapping similarly to how geometry dash is moreso played as a platformer than a music/rhythm game. Best roblox turned indie game anyways

No comment, it gave me my rhythm game fix during my high school years when a lot of things were blocked on the school internet. Since I'm not in high school anymore, there's no reason for me to play this again

I really liked the early premise, but as the difficulty curve for expert mode got steeper, the more egregious the input instability becomes. I recorded myself playing the game just to make sure I pressed the arrows when they were in the box and I did, but it still didn't register. It might just be an issue on my end though, but still, really disappointing since I really liked the premise of the game. It was fun regardless but tedious because of this issue.

Reminds me of vivid/stasis but for 6k VSRG. Really interesting concept, but I wish the UI was sleeker and it had a bigger selection of songs. Would love to see this take done again in some capacity.

My party trick rhythm game. Love showing this to my friends for the novelty of a cook-off rhythm game that slowly goes haywire as the opponent girl’s clothes rip off and the judge has a field day with the food. Played for the shits and giggles and to just laugh at something for how ridiculous it gets. Without the novelty though, it's pretty bland in gameplay.

Not technically a rhythm game, but it does love to categorize itself as one so it's in here. Not anything particularly groundbreaking for me and I find myself having more fun with something along the lines of Super Hexagon instead

I just like the pretty cards. Nothing else. The game is so bare bones and the mapping doesn’t even match with any specific rhythm in the songs

I remember when this game was at its infancy with its old circle-ish rhythm gameplay (don't really know how to explain it, it’s like zuma but rhythm). I got on for nostalgia's sake recently and I was so confused on why it just looks like every other idol rhythm game now. Such a huge overhaul

I haven’t tried this in actual years, but I remember not enjoying how this played on my old S9 so I’ll base my score and thoughts on that. In other words, I preferred to play osu!lazer on my phone instead

My memories with LLSIF are most definitely remembered through rose-tinted glasses since I literally grew up with it. So having this game grab the corpse of the original game, hang it up to a noose, then for it to join in with a successful murder-suicide is so painstakingly heartbreaking and unnecessary. Like, why even bother? Feels like an even worse OW2-syndrome because this game crashed and burned faster than anything I've seen in gaming aside from club penguin island. They really killed the original for this trashy "sequel" that consistently lagged when all it had to do was load flying JPEGs on the screen huh? Thank god for sonolus for having the beatmaps on a playable server. Good riddance for this game
