I’d had this game on my wishlist for quite a while, and I also picked it up during this sale. Among rhythm games that aren’t based around specific peripherals, i find this one of the most tight, well-playing ones, and I’d encourage anyone with even a little interest to check out the demo.
You do hit notes, but not all of them. The “dots” just need to be lined up, whereas “bars” require a button press as well.
