A full-screen music game themed on constellations and star clusters, by StrayCubic, creator of TAKUMI³. Tap, flick, and hold in time with the notes that drift among the stars. Simple controls deliver an entirely new musical experience. ■ Especially recommended if you… ・Crave the chill, soothing feeling of gazing up at a starry night ・Want to play a rhythm game with calm, gentle tracks ・Feel a little worn out by the relentless pace and intensity of recent rhythm games ・Are looking for a fresh rhythm game using the whole screen ■ Charts drawn by constellation lines Asterhythm's defining feature is the constellation lines that connect the notes.
