About the game
Early access warning
Please note: We are making this game available early in a raw work in progress state. If you are not interested in testing an extremely unfinished game you should wait until the full release.
During Early Access you should expect to see the following:
Placeholder UI elements that reserve space for planned features but do not work yet. These are part of the game development process and will be made functional over time.
Some features may be in a broken or unfinished state or temporarily disabled while the underlying features are being worked on.
Placeholder models, textures and low quality graphics. These are part of the game development process and we plan to create higher quality assets over time.
Placeholder maps. None of the songs in game include the full intended range of beatmaps and difficulties, and some songs may only have one difficulty available that might be too difficult to most players. A lot of maps are temporary and we plan to make higher quality maps over time.
Random game server outages
General bugs
A lot of planned features are not implemented yet. You can scroll down to the Early Access Roadmap section to get a rough idea of what's planned.

Colored notes which have to be hit using a specific hand

Please keep in mind that during Early Access the selection of songs and maps is limited, and we plan to add more songs and maps for every type of player over time.

Optimization at the Core
We are building this game on a brand new game engine with one goal:
To be the most optimized VR game ever made. We are going to extreme lengths no-one else has to ensure the game never drops a single frame during hours of gameplay. The code path for every single frame and situation has been meticulously designed to avoid frame time spikes, and multiple CPU cores are utilized in a smart way. Please note that the game is in Early Access and not fully optimized yet.
Did we mention the game has a cat in it?
Honestly this is the real main selling point. Please note though that the game is in Early Access and the cat is work in progress.
