We've released it on mobile (iOS and Google Play) as a free game. When you beat it, you unlock the new Infinite Mode. Let us know how far you go!Game Improvements and ChangesThe game has been migrated to Unity 6 from an older version. Ideally, this shouldn't change anything for you.To improve our development workflow, this will be the last version where we will be delivering 32-bit builds for Windows. We’ve observed Steam stats and there seem not to be any more people using 32-bit computers in our userbase.Rhythm Weightlifter: Added infinite mode, plus many small improvements.Pause Menu: Item height has been increased for better text legibility in certain languages such as Polish and Spanish.Misc UI improvements.Level Editor Improvements and Changes\ Most properties (intensity, color, etc) in the Set VFX Preset can now be disabled, similar to other events. Disabled properties remain unchanged, allowing each property to be eased individually\ Most presets now start at 0% intensity instead of 100%. This means that enabling an event and easing it to 120% will ease from 0-120 instead of 100-120. Old levels using this behaviour will automatically have the oldVFX...

  Version 1.0.4: Fixes and a New Accessibility Feature

  Hello interns! First of all: a huge thank-you to all of you for the support and kind words we've received since our 1.0 launch! It's been great, and surreal, to see everyone's reactions to the end of the story and the very ambitious final boss that we worked on for a long while.As you might imagine, most people on the team have been taking a well-deserved rest and getting back to work at their own pace. Aside from some quick bug fixes, we haven't really made any big changes to talk about.Although we're done making Acts of Story Mode, there are still some standalone levels that we're working on. One of them is a collaboration with Beatblock, which we recently posted a teaser of.Today's update includes a new Accessibility setting, various fixes to Story Mode, and a bunch of new options in the Level Editor. We look forward to supporting Rhythm Doctor bit by bit throughout the year with smaller updates like this! New Accessibility Setting: Reduced FlashingIn this patch, we've added a Reduced Flashing setting in the Accessibility menu. It weakens and reduces the amount of flashy effects across Story Mode, like full-screen white flashes. This will hopefully make the game much more comfortable to play for players with photosensitivity.To be clear: this setting reduces many instances that may cause eyestrain but does not remove every effect that may cause eyestrain entirely. If you've played the game, you'll know how intertwined some of the effects are to the overall experience and concept of some of the levels. Our goal is to reduce overall eyestrain while still retaining animations and distractions in the levels, so that users of the setting don't get a lesser experience. Players who struggle with epilepsy should still exercise caution while playing the game.As with all of our Accessibility efforts, this will be an ongoing project and an ongoing conversation. If you try the setting, please send us feedback on what you think about it. You can let us know what you think on ...

  Rhythm Doctor review

  Rhythm Doctor is the master of the single input. A game that only needed my space bar to utterly challenge my musical timing and tug on my heartstring through six acts replete with stunning visual presentation and interwoven stories that see even the most minor characters have their moment in the spotlight...
