I found the myth! The legend! The very game Konami is afraid of right in my local arcade!

I have a 14.6” Samsung S9 Ultra tablet that I play my Mobile rhythm games on- I love it - BUT, are there tablets out there that are better than the Samsung Tab Ultra line for some reason? If so, what makes them better - I’ll make the switch. Thanks!

I just finished my custom controller for RHYTHM SPROUT!! Capacitive silicone buttons are so satisfying to press. This game is DEFINITELY underrated even for hardcore Rhythm Game Fans. Here's a gameplay video of the first level...

Best way to learn 4k games?

Ive had a good experience playing DJMAX, but the song choices arent really what i like
all the songs i found on osu!mania are either extremly hard way over my skill or more keys which i am really really bad at and this seems to be the same for the other games ive seen/played... Am i supposed to practice these hard songs till i someday beat them or is there any game or way where i got a better lead on how to steadily increase my skill

Amplitude (PC Port)

https://youtu.be/1FB01Mi484Q

Amplitude (2003) by Harmonix for the PlayStation 2 is arguably one of the best rhythm games to ever hit the market. But the original game has been trapped on the PS2 for ages. Emulation has been the only other way to play the game other than original hardware, but input lag creates a less-than-desirable experience.

Enter PROJECT AMP.

Thanks to the PS2Recomp project by Ranieri (ran-j), a native PC Port (static recompilation) has been born. There's nothing quite like blasting through gems on an old CRT TV, lag-free. Now with PROJECT AMP, you can experience it again in 4K 60p Widescreen, LAG-FREE.

Amplitude is a cult classic, and if you've never played it, you don't know what you're missing. Major gaming outlets have raved about it, but the game undersold worldwide. Now, in 2026 and beyond, this game can have a bright future. No big plastic guitars required. Just you and a controller.

FEATURES:

Play adrenaline-pumping ONLINE matches against other players around the world via PSRewired, built right into the game

Boot from a real Amplitude (PS2) disc (Take that Sony) or ISO (Results may vary based on DVD drive read speeds)

Widescreen and Ultra Widescreen support

Up to 8x native resolution

Import saves from real PS2 or PCSX2 virtual memory cards

Built-in cheat menu

Boot to Start Screen (Skips the intro loading screens and video)

Low latency and accurate timing

Other improvements to enhance the user's experience

COMING SOON:

Custom Song Tool - Easily bring your own custom music into the game and play through each track. Share your music with the world and allow people to compete to complete your song online.

Contrast Reduction Filter (for photosensitive users)

More improvements to enhance the user's experience

I made Pixel Riffs, a guitar rhythm game for Android that's live on the Play Store!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pixelriffs

I'm a mobile software engineer and made a guitar rhythm game for Android. It's been in development since early 2025, and I built it to give the best guitar controller style experience on mobile. There are two modes:

  1. Shredder, where you hold the phone like a guitar neck and fret and strum.
  2. Classic, which plays like classic mobile rhythm games: notes come down the lanes and you tap the frets with your thumbs.

The game has all the guitar mechanics you'd expect, like hammer-ons, pull-offs, whammy, solos, etc., with some twists to make it work on mobile. Bad touchscreens can't track more than 2 fingers properly, so the game is designed around that. For example, you can strum using the volume keys if you're having issues swipe strumming.

(You can actually enable features that require 3+ fingers ex: chords with 3+ fingers. It's just not recommended if you're having touch issues)

The interactive TUTORIALS and FAQ cover all of it. You can play with 4 or 5 frets, but 4 is recommended on mobile, especially on smaller screens (the orange notes just get transposed). There are tons of other options to tune the gameplay for your phone, check the SETTINGS screen!

All the art is original pixel art, and Pixel Riffs is getting its own metalcore theme that I composed and a friend is arranging and adding his own polish to right now. The song it ships with (Barely Alive by Jacob Lizotte) is royalty free and I created the chart myself (it's my first chart ever so I'm open to feedback please!).

From SONG LIBRARY you can import Clone Hero/YARG compatible chart zips (.chart/.mid), or download them if you set a URL for a legal charts website in SETTINGS. I don't condone piracy, the game just plays whatever zips you give it.

Expect an iOS version, multiplayer with leaderboards, and bass and rhythm guitar soon!

Let me know what you think!
