### 5/5 — cool

*2025-12-03*

really good music good story intriguing, unique, and flexibly difficult gameplay what u want

it can be a little overbearing at times and maybe a little too cheesy at the start but it is quite the journe

### 5/5 — The best rhythm game, especially for free

*2025-10-13*

This game is absolutely phenomenal in every aspect. First: the gameplay is a genius fusion of standard VSRG and bullet hell mechanics and it is all beautifully seamless and incredibly polished. Not only that but the customisation, especially after beating the game is unlike any rhythm game, period. More rhythm games need this kind of customisation and it is a welcome addition to this one.

Second: the story is great, all of it is, but my favourite aspect is the characters. Every single character feels more real than any character I have ever seen, not just in rhythm games but media as a whole. It genuinely shocks me how good the writing is.

Third, the song list; the definition of quality over quantity. Every song feels memorable and like a worthy pick to the lineup, I can think of every single one just off the top of my head, and no song feels gimped in terms of charting, which leads to my last point.

Forth and finally: the charting/level design. Absolutely unmatched in terms of quality not only for their highest difficulties. Every single song has the difficulties culminating, adding more elements as the difficulty increases to create a seamless difficulty curve that I have never seen done this well in a rhythm game.

I cannot understate just how impressive this game is; it is entirely free to play with zero required ads, and all of the ads are completely superfluous and unnecessary for the full experience of the game, on top of that experience feeling more fleshed out than modern AAA titles.

This game is a 10/10

### 5/5 — (≧∇≦)b

*2025-08-06*

難易度は高いし音ゲー初心者(自分)が始めるには大変だけど曲が良い！

### 5/5 — But that’s what I think anyways…

*2025-05-25*

Labonsese women yay

### 5/5 — Omg

*2025-04-25, version 3.613*

It’s the best. however, it doesn’t have enough songs to fulfill my satisfaction. But there’re gay girls here so i love this game so much

### 1/5 — we need chinese

*2024-10-31*

我需要中文，还有这个游戏一边躲障碍物一边玩音游太影响体验了，为什么有英文和日文偏偏没有中文

### 5/5 — これはゲームであっても『ただの音ゲー』ではない…

*2024-10-23*

他の方も書いている通り『弾幕＋音ゲー』の高難易度リズムゲームです。
曲もよく、難易度Hardまでは二本指でクリア可能といった初心者(玄人)向けの手応えがあり、
譜面も元大御所スマホ音ゲーの開発が作っているため遊んでいて楽しいと素晴らしいバランスで構成されています。
(タップズレが激しいので、変更は必須です)

…ここまでは普通の音ゲーですが、このゲームは弾幕避けとステージギミックとして存在する【音ゲーでも避けゲーでもない】存在をリズムゲーしながら対処するという所業を求められます。
そのせいで初見フルコンは譜面は簡単なのにキツイ…なんてことも。
(曲はいいのです。しかし、瞬間的に対応をしないといけないのです。リズム＋避けゲームしながら…それが楽しくなるんですけどね。)

以上のことがあるので、カジュアル音ゲーしか遊んだことない人にはかなり難しく、途中で投げ出すかもしれません。
しかし、クリアした時の達成感は相応のものになるので、
是非挑戦してみてください！

※このゲームにはストーリーがついていますが、前作無料ノベルゲーの『2ECONDS＋』を遊んでいるとさらに楽しめます！(あと、おまけがもらえます)

### 5/5 — what

*2024-10-18*

what the cat :3

### 5/5 — 普通の音ゲーに飽きたらやって損はない

*2024-10-14*

慣れるまでが難しいけど慣れたら新しい刺激になると思います
スタミナは0でもできます
音ズレはちゃんと設定したら起きません
新曲解放するのにちょっと時間かかるけど今のところ楽しいです

### 2/5 — Mi opinión

*2024-06-21, version 3.124*

Holaaa, el juego no es malo, pero el poder perder puntos cuando tienes que mover el personaje y tocar las teclas al mismo tiempo se complica.😭 no se es difícil ve, además de que este tipo de juegos los e jugando ante su son algo fáciles, pero este es difícil por eso 😢, sería bueno si quitaron eso o lo renovaran y tal vez añadir más personajes. Los personajes si son lindos y tiernos, pero los poderes no se.
