“The idea is good, but all movements are not in line with the indicator, which is very upsetting. I use wireless streaming with VD, but other rhythm games work just fine.”

“seems like joy way just made stride and then decided to become exclusively terrible/meh at best. the game isn't even all that fun and it's also abandoned like every other joy way game since STRIDE. the release date is wrong. the last patch was on June 1st 2022.”
