Rhythm Control 2: A 2012 Classic Returns to Android!

Rhythm Control 2, originally released in 2012, is back 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 mechanic, 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!
