Rhythm Control 2: A 2012 Classic Returns to Android!

Rhythm Control 2, originally a 2012 hit in Japan and Sweden, is back on Android! This rhythm game features a unique twist: instead of tapping falling icons, 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!
