- Introducing the "Beat Souls" and "Noise"! - 9 July 2021
You can't aim for a high score just by riding the rhythm... This time, we would like to introduce you to the "Beat Souls" and "Noise"! Beat Souls “Beat Souls” are yellow and blue, and are shaped like human souls. Players control their Otomo characters to catch the oncoming Beat Souls. The Otomo character can be moved left and right, and its color can be switched Yellow or Blue. If you catch a Beat Soul of the same color, you'll get points to add to your score! Be careful, though, because if a beat soul touches the player, you'll take damage and your combo will be broken! https://game.zoo.jp/images/Steam_BeatSoulsCatch2.gif Noise Loud sounds stress youkai and form “Noise”. Like the Beat Soul, if you touch it, it will damage and break combos when it comes into contact with the player. The shorter and taller noises will come at you, so avoid them by jumping or moving side to side! https://…
