Osu! is a fun and great game with a simple mechanic, point and click. It is played using a mouse to click “beats” displayed on-screen in time with the music. A health bar is located that the top of the screen. If the player hits a beat, then the health meter fills slightly. If the player misses, then it will be drained. Once the meter is completely empty the player fails the song.
During gameplay there are hit circle, sliders, and spinners. Hit circles require the play to click the beat once. Sliders require the player to click and drag the cursor wherever the slider leads them. Spinners are less common in game, but when they do show up; the player must spin several rotations before time runs out. Spinner more will earn the player bonus points.
The game is point based. Each hit circle and slider will earn you points depending are the timing of the action. Every time the player hits a circle or slider, the combo is raised by 1. Combos give bonus points. If a player misses, then the combo resets back to 0. The point system is really used in online multiplayer where people try to compete for the highest score on a song.
The music of Osu! is mostly Japanese. Because the game was first developed in Japan, it is common to find songs from anime, games, or other similar things. There are songs from different languages, but not as much. Beatmaps are the “songs” you play. They are community made. Difficulty of a song, the placement of the sliders, circles, and spinners are decide by the maker of that beatmap. Downloads are all available on the website. They game does have a strong community and new beatmaps are constantly made.
Osu! is probably the best PC rhythm game I have player and does not require anything but a mouse to play. Another great aspect is that the game and the beatmaps are free.
