Early Access Review
TL:DR: This game isn't worth $15. Free alternatives are Stepmania, FFR, and osu! mania (to an extent).

Long answer:

Out of curiosity I thought I would try this game to see how much it differs from other VSRGs. $15 is a bit steep for these types of games but I thought they might've done something interesting that would make it worth it. Here are some pros and cons I have with the game:

*DISCLAIMER*: I will be comparing this game A LOT to Stepmania, another VSRG. The reason for this is that they are so similar to each other, it would be crazy not to compare the two.

PROS:
- The game seems to have a fairly professional feel and doesn't feel like it was made halfassed
- The customizability in the settings for the game is extensive (feels VERY similar to stepmania)
- Supports replays. This is especially good for this game because Stepmania, the game that is most similar to this game, does not have this feature at the moment
- There is no prep work to get this game running with an assortment of maps

CONS For rhythm game enthusiasts:
- If you are halfway decent at Stepmania, this game will be way too easy. I've gotten platinum scoring (99%) on practically all of the hardest difficulties with only one or two tries
- The timing is way too basic. At this point, there are only two timing windows: you hit the note, or you missed it. There is no other timing windows e.g. in stepmania there is Marvelous, Perfect, Great, Good, Bad, Boo and Miss
- It's difficulty is based more on modifiers of the file rather than actual note density and patterns. Also a lot of the maps play like maps in Stepmania that are not supposed to be played with c-mod due to rapid bpm changes

CONS for caual players:
- It's just so expensive. 15 dollars for a game that could be played virtually the same and subjectively better for free is just not worth paying money for

Conclusion: This game would have been pretty good if it were the only option for this type of game genre. It's well-put together and has a good assortment of songs. Since this not the case, however, I cannot recommend it. There are other games that do this concept, in my opinion, better AND for free.
