Despite the game's high difficulty level making it nearly impossible for even the developer to play properly, they are surprised by the unexpected number of players. The demo version, currently available on Steam, includes a major update to the effects and graphics, as well as the addition of a combo feature. Furthermore, the full version is set to include new difficulty levels for existing modes and a "next step" in the already extremely challenging Jacob Collier Challenge.

About the Game

It's a simple game where all you have to do is press the corresponding key the moment a circle reaches a vertex of a shape!
Well... the number of shapes will gradually increase, though...

More complex modes, such as Rest Mode and Offbeat Mode, have also been implemented in the stage selection. Compete with your friends on the leaderboard to test your sense of rhythm!

Hit five randomly generated polyrhythms simultaneously and aim to become the ultimate polyrhythm master!

The excitement on X (formerly Twitter) is particularly intense
In the current UnityRoom version, pro pianist Cateen (Hayato Sumino) was the first to surpass 1,000 measures (https://x.com/880hz/status/1786040270066266297), and Faiana has set a high score with 6,042 measures. Many other skilled players have also shared their gameplay videos under the hashtag #ポリリリリズム, so be sure to check them out!

Comments from the Game Creators

Namari
I thought no one would ever clear this game, but the superhuman rhythm gamers have managed to beat it completely. So, I'm going to increase the volume and quality for another challenge.

I truly wish to elevate humanity's polyrhythmic abilities.

Sunajiro
I helped out by creating the sound effects. I'm just an ordinary rhythm person, so I'm still far from clearing it, haha. Welcome to the fantastical world of polyrhythms!
