Rhythm Control 2: A 2012 Classic Returns to Mobile!

Rhythm Control 2, originally released in 2012, is now available on Android! This rhythm game, a chart-topper in Japan and Sweden, features a unique twist on the genre. Instead of the typical falling-icon gameplay, players tap six nodes in sequence, with increasing complexity and challenges.

The game boasts a diverse soundtrack featuring both Western and Japanese artists, including Bit Shifter, YMCK, Boeoes Kaelstigen, and Slagsmålsklubben. Get ready for ridiculously high scores and a potentially life-altering introduction to obscure Japanese techno!

More Than Just a Beat:

Rhythm Control 2 offers a refreshing alternative to other mobile rhythm games. While titles like Beatstar offer a safe, familiar experience, Rhythm Control 2 provides a challenge with its unique gameplay and eclectic soundtrack. It's a welcome addition to the mobile rhythm game scene, which has historically lacked the vibrancy seen on PC platforms.
