Emiru Game

⠀

Emiru Game is a pretty unusual rhythm game, and I honestly liked how different it feels from the usual rhythm games I have played. Instead of relying on a small set of familiar keys, the whole idea is built around using the keyboard in a much bigger way. Notes can require a large number of different buttons, which makes the game feel more like a test of my entire keyboard rather than just my timing. The main gameplay is all about hitting the correct keys in rhythm as the songs play. There are several difficulty levels, starting with easier patterns and moving toward much more demanding ones. I found the basic idea surprisingly engaging because it takes something I normally use for everything else on PC and turns it into the actual controller. When the patterns start getting faster, I really have to concentrate on what is coming next instead of relying completely on muscle memory. I also like that the game is focused on improving my own performance. Each attempt gives me a reason to try again and see if I can handle the song more cleanly. The harder difficulties are where the concept becomes much more interesting, because keeping track of so many possible keys can get chaotic very…
