Enter Spin Rhythm XD, a rhythm game built around making a controller (or a mouse and keyboard, if you so prefer) feel like an instrument. In the centre of the screen is a lane, where various icons travel down in time to the beat of a selected track. At the bottom lies a segmented wheel. Twisting the analogue stick moves it left or right, your goal to match the colour of falling notes to segments of the same colour on the wheel. Harder difficulties introduce additional tasks, such as notes that require you to tap specific buttons or blocked out sections where you have to spin the wheel to accumulate points.
Enter the Rhythm Dimension. A homage to classic arcade rhythm games (Guitar Hero, DDR), with a modern aesthetic and soundtrack. Match colours and beats, spin, tap, flick and flow through the juiciest beats in the universe. Supports multiple control styles including MIDI DJ gear on Steam!
I like the design of the ring. It's a bit of an adjustment at first, but it's implemented well. This ring is divided into blue and red sections. You never control this ring but instead control the cursor below it. You can grab onto any part of the top ring, locking it into place and allowing you to align the right sections with the right notes. You can also spin the ring by latching on and sweeping the ring around. An oft-used mechanic requires you to do this, and boy does it feel satisfying when you nail one. It feels tactile, with the mouse lending itself for more precise movement. The game fully utilizes this, needing you to quickly drag and spin the ring around to hit the right notes at the right time.
A unique feature I've never seen before is the MIDI support. If you own turntables you can use that to control the game instead of using your mouse. I love that the developers thought of this. I don't own turntables (the preferred appliance for the feature), but I was able to configure my MIDI keyboard to work with the game. I can't recommend trying to play it with anything other than actual turntables, though. Some of the mechanics require you to spin something and that's just not possible on a keyboard.
Spin, tap, scratch and flow through heavy-hitting songs as they twist and turn through a hyper-vibrant galaxy. Wield a digital turntable to match rapid-fire colors and beats while grooving with the music. As difficulty ramps up, more actions like sustaining notes, free-spinning, and smashing chunky bass hits with the offhand come into play. Keep the party going with mouse and keyboard controls or crank the action up to 11: Spin Rhythm XD is compatible with most existing MIDI DJ controllers.
Steam Early Access opens up with 15 tasty tracks from DJs around the world for players to master and rack up high scores. Featuring 12+ original tunes and other incredible bangers from artists like Nitro Fun, Hyper Potions, Tokyo Machine, Tristam, Pegboard Nerds, Panda Eyes and many more, fans of rhythm games and music alike will find something scratch-worthy. Super Spin Digital is partnering with forward-thinking record label Monstercat (who has contributed to Beat Saber and Rocket League) so anyone can find something up their alley thanks to an eclectic selection of artists.
