Astra Moment:DIMENSION

못만든 디맥 카피캣 그 이상 그 이하도 아닌 게임 만듦새가 조악하고 너무 날티남, ui는 디맥(혹은 왁맥)을 빼다 박았음 플레이는 아르케아류 느낌인것 같은데 튜토리얼도 없고 라인 체인지 예고도 너무 갑작스럽고 잘 안보임, 대학교에서 기획한 게임인데 예산할당을 거의 안했는지 아니면 곡 심사를 너무 빡빡하게 한건지는 모르겠지만 곡 수도 너무 적음, 난이도는 세개인데 내 기준에서는 노말은 너무 쉽고 하드는 너무 어려움 기능들 완성할게 아니라 게임부터 새로 다시 만들어야 할듯

와! 국산 리듬게임! Arcaea 느낌 물씬 나는 2개의 판정선으로 이루어진 건반 리듬겜. 공개일 당일 기준 10개의 곡이 수록되어있으며, 곡 퀄리티, 채보 등 모두 준수함. 다만 리듬게임 맞춤곡들만 있는건 아님. 있을건 다 있습니다. 노트 떨어지는 속도 조절, 빠른 재시작, 인디케이터, 키 리매핑 (기본: 디맥 키), early / late 등등. 노트 판정이 잘 안보이니 콤보는 사이드에 놓는거 추천. 제일 아쉬운점은 난이도 표기가 없다는 것 (곡 내에서 노말 / 하드 / 엑스퍼트만 있음, 설명란과 다르다) 그 외에 사소하게: 1. 조작법이 구석에 숨겨져있고, 공식 튜토리얼 곡이 없음 2. 판정 자동으로 맞추는 기능이 없음 (박자에 맞춰 키 누르는) 3. 빠른 재시작시 효과음이 있었으면? 버그: Chronograph 노말 난이도 클리어 기록 저장이 안됨 (3회 이상 반복)

Edit: All of the positives I've said about this game in this review pre-edit still stand. The dev has promptly added color modes and such after my review making the issue I had with it, now a non-issue. Been playing it to try it out and it's perfect. What a wonderful game! I love the double lane gimmick a lot, adds a fresh element to the VSRG style. Only seen it in a mobile rhythm game once, and wasn't sure if it'd work on PC. But it does it really well. With the colors making it easier for my eyes to distinguish between top and bottom notes, needing to press an additional button to switch lanes turned out to be really fun and not too hard to get the hang of after a few tries (as someone used to rhythm games ofc). The real challenge to this gimmick, imo, is the judgement line is sooner for the top than it is the bottom, which is where I've missed notes as a result because I'd hit too soon or too late. This is also where I initially mistakenly thought bottom notes rolled in when top was still going but it didn't cuz timing differences! It's very fun to try and get better at. Will definitely be playing more. A very well deserved, earned, positive recommendation now. Sidenote: I've noticed that the early-late indicator, after disabling, turns itself back on after having played a song. Old: Didn't expect such quality for a free rhythm game. My main issue is that for me, it's really hard to distinguish the dimension notes from the regular ones. I wish they were more set apart from each other in terms of color. They are differently colored, yes; but the colors are very soft and washed out which makes it super hard for me to set them apart. Especially people who are color blind will struggle. You can opt to have the game warn you when they appear (which it does per default), but it doesn't seem to tell you when it ends. I also have had regular notes appear while dimension hold notes were still going. No clue how to deal with that. Also, while a warning is nice, at the denser songs where you need to switch fast between top and bottom lane, the warning doesn't suffice, in fact, I find such warnings rather distracting so it's more of a detriment. Plus, if you rely on it your muscle memory will take much longer to simply recognize the other lane notes on sight. What I am saying is the warning does not circumvent the issue that the notes for each lane are hard to distinguish from one another. Just my two cents though. Other than that it has good song, nice visuals, each song has multiple difficulties, it has custom keybinds, you can adjust offset for music and judgement (only manually though, no tool to help you sadly), has even modes such as random and mirror, (and also seems to have a ranking mode where you play against others?) So a pretty nice package especially since it's free. Charting also seems decent. If the notes were not so hard to set apart I would have definitely sunken my teeth into this more. But as it stands, this is too much of a detriment making me not want to play this so the rating will be negative. The game is in EA so hopefully we will be able to customize this in the future; and if so, I will change this review to positive. I am still appreciative this is free though! Maybe a dev support pack can be added as DLC in future for those who wanna make a donation.

Music is great, and I like the Arcaea gimmick although it takes some time to get used to. The game controls feel responsive and accurate. Hit effects are clear and non-intrusive. Will love to see this project get more songs and updates in the future. Overall, 8/10!

正直、上レーンとか抜きに普通に４Kで出した方が個人的に良かった気がするゲーム。

現状としては勧めにくい(音ゲー経験者向け)がまだ早期アクセスであるという点では期待できるとしておきます。 4キー音ゲーではあるが上下2つのレーンを利用した認識難で難しくするのかなという印象です(レビュー時点で上位譜面ノータッチなのでそこらへんはわかりません) 主に気になった点 ・チュートリアルがない ひとまずこれに尽きます。といっても他の音ゲーとの違いが判定ラインが上下2レーン存在しており上のレーンを処理する場合はSPACE(初期設定)を押しながら対応するレーンを押す。下のレーンに戻る場合はSPACEを離す。というだけです。上段はSPACE+対応キー同時でも良いみたいです。 一枚絵+テキストだけでもいいのでゲーム内にあった方がいいかもしれません ・上段移動予告は出る(出せる)が下段移動予告がない 自分がこのシステムで一番戸惑ったのがここです。上段ノーツがどれであるか色と下段への影でしか判断できないので、どこまで上段地帯が続くのか(=どこでSPACEを離していいのか)わかりにくくなっています。 ・難易度表記がない システムに慣れようと簡単なものからやろうと思いましたが難易度表記がないのでどこから手を付けたらいいかがわからなくなってます ・そのうえでNORMALでも十分難しい システムになれるためのもっとノート数の少ない難易度があってもいいのではと思いました。 その他 現時点で収録されてるのがオリジナルだけであり、知名度・他音ゲーから入ってくるということがほぼ見込めないのでどう展開していくかは気になります。 一方でそのオリジナル曲がゲーム本体と同じ大学生の楽曲であるため、無料であることを踏まえショーケースとして利用していくのもありではないかと思います。
