The story

An action-dance VR rhythm game with custom song support and a thriving multiplayer community.

What it’s like

Neon-lit, glossy synthwave environments that pulse with the beat: floating geometric shapes, bright magenta and cyan glows, and tunnels of light that rush toward you as you move. The sound is the centre of it all, with a licensed catalogue of electronic and pop tracks and a wide range of custom songs from the community, all driven by a punchy synth-and-kick mix that makes the room feel like a club. Its vibe is energetic and playful, a sweaty, upbeat party in a headset, best for a solo workout, a lively evening with friends, or a burst of motivation before the day starts. Pacing is brisk and rhythmic, with songs building in intensity and difficulty ramping as you progress. It is bright and joyful with no violence, gore, or menace; the intensity is physical, coming from arm-swinging and footwork rather than anything threatening. It suits fitness-minded players, rhythm fans, and anyone who wants to move to music and feel a little bit like a dancer.
