Backs Local co-op, Most players on one screen, Free base co-op, Kind of game, Sessions, About, Tension and danger, Getting better, Building and creating.

• Local co-op: Features list Shared/Split Screen Co-op, and the first About paragraph says up to 4 players in local co-op. The store has no Online Co-op entry, so online play is left out.
• Most players on one screen: The About text says up to 4 players in local co-op. A 2019 early access review says 8, but no maker page does, so 4 is used.
• Free base co-op: The page sells the game with a Buy button and a price, and Windows on Steam is the only edition found. The free demo is a trial and does not count.
• Kind of game: User tags include 4 Player Local, Local Co-Op and Local Multiplayer. It is rated like Just Shapes & Beats, which many user reviews compare it with. Few reviews talk about playing together.
• Sessions: Stages are musically timed scenes played one at a time, and user tags include Arcade. No page gives a level length.
• About: User tags include Abstract, and the text describes lights, pulses and blocks. The story text is set in 207X with a supercomputer companion. The store text calls it a musical bullet-hell where up to 4 players dodge scenes all timed to the beat.
• Tension and danger: User tags include Bullet Hell and Difficult.
• Getting better: User tags include Difficult and Bullet Hell, and Steam Leaderboards are listed.
• Building and creating: User tags and Steam features include Level Editor and Steam Workshop. The editor is not part of a shared session, so it stays at 1.

Backs Kind of game, Getting better, Building and creating.

• Kind of game: Many of the reviews read compare it with Just Shapes & Beats, a party game in this catalog. Almost none talk about playing together, so co-op is a small part of what players say.
• Getting better: A 2025-10-03 review says some levels challenge experienced Just Shapes & Beats players and that the top-rank levels are far harder.
• Building and creating: Reviews from 2019 and 2020 describe an easy level editor and players uploading their own levels with any music.

Backs Local co-op, Most players on one screen, Sessions, Story, Getting better.

• Local co-op: A 2026-10-28 review says Arcade Mode supports local co-op on community-made levels. No source says whether story mode allows more than one player.
• Most players on one screen: The same review says up to 4 players, which agrees with the maker.
• Sessions: The same review says Arcade Mode runs community levels and that the Workshop content is far larger than the story.
• Story: The same review calls the dialogue light and says the story levels teach the mechanics. A 2026-10-09 review says the story is not worth it. The maker lists the story as a headline feature, so it is rated 2.
• Getting better: The same review describes a rank from S for no deaths down to F, and a boost move that takes effort to learn.
