A cute Rhythm Heaven like but a bit of a tough game to recommend.
It only has a few minigames with no remixes to mash them together like RH proper, and it likes to re-use them a lot, thankfully with different music and timings which helps spice things up, but a couple of them are absolutely brutal. The band minigame makes you memorize entire rhythm...
The game keeps telling me I'm early/missing even when I'm actually LATE to the inputs. Changed every setting I could find, couldn't fix it. The game's literally unplayable right now, which is a shame.
Visuals are really nice, looks very Puyo Puyo like. but onto what you SHOULD know, Like most other people this game appealed to me because it looks a lot like Rhythm Heaven (gameplay wise).
Yes it is the same in the way that you are playing a mini game to the beat of music, where Pastel Parade falls flat is the music part. Sadly the most important part...
