i can tell you as someone who tried with no music knowledge, its not *that* bad, eventually you just trust that your fingers know better than you do and it kinda works
As a composer and engraver, there are far too many unfairly notated rhythms for the harder syncopations. The quarter note rest displayed by a 16th note is absolutely unforgivable, even in this game
lol im someone who has been doing music things my whole life but can't read musical notation well and this really gives me conflicting feelings also i don't remember once seeing a choir using musical notation (granted, i was only in choirs like twice)
it looks like health loss is _only_ frozen during level transition, and outside that is at some constant rate which increases at each level and which isn't relative to the tempo
Luckily the final 5 second countdown resets between each round so it is impossible to lose between the rounds Edit: this is wrong the letter rounds have a tempo so slow that you do lose in between rounds.
@@sinzones3909 I expect that it isn't a "bug" so much as an oversight - they were just going for a quick and simple implementation of the mechanics in order to put it out fast as a fan game, and they didn't think about actually making it feasible to keep playing indefinitely - "after we run out of new beat patterns and we turn off the sounds, we still want the difficulty to increase, hmmm... ok, drain the health over time and increase drain as they progress, done" this does have the side effect of making the game punishing though it's arguably for the wrong reasons note that it's a very conceptually simple difficulty curve, in the sense that it involves very few variables to define how it works and less design-thinking to implement - but of course, simple doesn't mean good, and this one feels awful and uneven because of what it's _not_ taking into account - it would take additional design effort to make the simple difficulty curve into a "good" difficulty curve
As a musician, I have to say that was genuinely so impressive though, especially when there there wasn’t any skins to copy and he freaking sight read them almost perfectly 😭
theres a channel on yt called sight read drums, from time to time it posts videos on snare exercises like these. they're super fun and a lot harder than this
My first score was 20, but the last 5 or 6 were all on the brink of death haha! (and I definitely got a lot of easier patterns earlier on) We had the same reaction when cues disappeared too, the slow ones are definitely health drainers...
Wow, 19 was my first score too, lol I guess it's a bit common since it's the second slow part after cues disappear, usually you're on the edge of death and can't miss that much
As a music student who used to have a pretty dang good sense of rythm for what I was asked to do, I was following the whole thing very well by hitting my finger on my leg as if I was playing, but then the whole red blurry section was just impossible to me.
I think rhythm hell is a cute game! my highest score is 14 which is not that bad just for me! Oh yeah the creator of rhythm hell also did rhythm purgatory but did it as a April fools joke (not a real game tho, maybe it be a real game someday? Who knows) and it also has my favourite jazz song giant steps which is the best jazz song and also a FORBIDDEN song ofc but yeah glad you like it! (Fun fact, the creator of that game also does storyboards and backgrounds for different animated series like We Bare Bears, We Bare Bears: The Movie, Centaurworld, The Ghost and Molly McGee, and We Lost Our Human!)
the only thing is, when the cues are removed, it isn't a rhythm game anymore. rhythm games always involve hearing, with or without a visual representation of the tempo, that lets you recognize and predict the _rhythm_ of the sequence of beats. reading musical scores completely lacks this
it turns into a sightreading game. pretty fun if you have a music background, turns into hell otherwise though i suck at reading actual rhythm games (how are you supposed to read taiko no tatsujin when they come so fast)
What do you mean? The _sheet music_ is how you predict when to tap, and you still have to tap in the context of the rhythm of the song (pretty much the fundamental thing about rhythm games). Besides, there are plenty of rhythm games that only have visual cues as indicators of when to tap, such as Taiko no Tatsujin like the other guy mentioned
I got it second try. First try was the "not bad the audience is entertained" Seems like playing rythm games really did the trick despite not knowing much about music even at the weird times.
Maybe a hot take, I dislike it when rhythm games slowly drain your life over time even without mistakes. Its an old arcade hang-over to keep quarters coming in
@@youssefbencheikh8637 Mainly good rhythm and luck, but mostly luck... When you're on a slow part and it starts with a rest, you're screwed no matter what, which is what happened to me lol
I found this so reassuring lol. I really thought my sight-reading skills had decayed (years of mostly neglecting practice and not being in ensembles like I always used to be) much more than they apparently have. I didn't do perfectly playing along (made myself clap/tap/whatever with the first time each phrase appeared too) and I'd prob have failed the game sooner lol but I did way better than I thought I would XD this was fun, thanks for posting it, I might have to hunt up this game now Edit: Found it in description and installed it, does anyone know how to tweak the game files so that I can throw in some compensation for latency?
This feels like that one time i tried getting teached to play the piano but ended up basic stuff and faster and faster endlessly instead of advancing so basically i started messing up cuz of repetitiveness
I was so ready to play the game but I'm having latency issues. Wish there was a setting for it! Either that or I'm perpetually late, but I hit right on time when I'm just tapping along to your video.
as someone who cant read notes very well, i was able to survive without much mistakes (in my head, im not going to itch,io for this) until the sound cues turned off
I can keep and copy rhythm, but I cannot read music. Not even when i was in band (I really just repeated what I heard). So this game turning off the claps is hurtful.
felt like playing Hard Mode Elite Beat Agents toward the end there, just watching your health in pointless freefall without enough opportunities to get points back

I can confirm as a percussionist.
@desmondhenderson3253 same
I brought out my drumsticks for the fun of it to see how I'd do and it was very bad lol
@@adustycat dang I just did it with my hands didn't go horrible but still bad
@desmondhenderson3253 it got worse without cues haha
The beginning with cues wasn't as bad

it is supposed to be hell after all, you don't get to win no matter how good you are
having done my stint in concert band, my heart sunk as soon as I saw "slow down" the slow ones are brutal always
The sped up bits is what it feels like to play a march as a french horn player
REAL
TRUE
THE SCREEN SHAKES SO FOUL LMAO
I got 19 on my first try too! Learning the timing was a bit difficult, but once you learn it, it's not too bad until the higher scores
Yeah because the input lag is absolutely atrocious
@@Roblafo that's my main issue with this game, why can't they just minimize input lag and make it playable?
The speed decreases look like they were overkill.
THIS SHOULD ADD TO NEW RHYTHM HEAVEN FRANCHISE AS AN ENDLESS GAME AND NORMAL GAME
As a music major this looks like a blast without cues
As a musician, I have to say that was genuinely so impressive though, especially when there there wasn’t any skins to copy and he freaking sight read them almost perfectly 😭
great at polyrhythms but terrible at triplets 😅

You’re using your inner hearing
But it's hilarious
thanks for showcasing this game i never even knew it existed, got 22 first try
Really good for a first try lmfao I was horrified watching once cues disappeared
As a musician, it was joyful when I heard you singing rhythm before clapping
_Bro, this guy has a very good musical flair, if I were him, I could not. Keep up the good work bro, you are one of the best players in this game!_
Why’d you write in italics? Like, all italics
the no cues would send me to the abyss immediately
I live for the occasional gasps of dispair
imagine the cbat guy finds this
No
I was tapping this out on my knee and I was stressed, I can’t imagine actually PLAYING this game
My first reaction to this was
...OH MY GOD THIS ISN'T JUST A GOOFY ANIMATION?!
Same
Not anymore
one must imagine seals happy
as a not-actively-practicing-or-playing-piano player this looks incredibly agonizing
This game makes me physically rage with anger, and I never even played it.
subbed. why is this channel underrated
I hope this gets people interested in rhythmn heaven
I thought 8 minutes was too long to watch rhythm hell yet me following the rhythm not knowing how time flies xD

I use this as a warmup, both for arms and feet.
