[h1]Update Feb 11 2019:[/h1] I believe a lot of the information on my review is no longer up to date. However, I still think this is one of the best, if not the best, drumming game in VR. They have added 6 new songs since my update. I believe they have streamlined the process to upload your own songs and create your own beatmaps in VR for Oculus. Please watch my new video review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/4fVRui0s8rI [h1]Original Review Below:[/h1] I can confirm this game works on Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers. The only issue I had, and I'm not sure if it's an issue with the Rift or with the game, was that I couldn't change the look of the drum set. Which was weird, because all the other customization options worked except for this one. + The game starts off with 4 songs which you have to get an S rating on at least the easiest difficulty on each song, before unlocking the next set of 4 songs. There's a total of 20 songs in the game library. Most of the songs were...

About This Game
Note for 2020 Winter Update
Dear Drummers,
Welcome to the 2020 winter update of Into the Rhythm VR!
As we mentioned, we are bringing you the new features and content.
Please see the changes we have made below.
1. More Speed Options.
As we promised, we have added 4 more speed options: x4, x6, x8, x10. With those speed options, we expect you to play difficult levels much easier since you will be able to see the gaps between notes more clearly.
Plus, we have implemented memory function which will keep your speed setting in a next round.
2. Fever System
Also, we have added the fever feature that multiplies your score depending on your accuracy. It will be activated when you fulfill the fever gauge on the right in a designated time. The bonus will be increased from x2 to x2.5 and finally x3 by consecutive fever.
3. Auto Chart (Beta)
Enjoy your favorite songs on Into the Rhythm VR without complicated procedures! By putting your .mp3, .wav or .ogg files in the ‘sounds’ folder, the game will make a chart by itself. We are still improving the algorithms for better accuracy, and will let you know when it works.
4. Additional Song
New track ‘Carol of the bells - Zero Cover’ is added. Not like previous songs, we focused more on implementing drum patterns, especially in the hard level. Please share your opinion about it.
5. Bug fix and optimization.
There are many fixes in this update, but below two are the most important parts.
a. Key sound issue: Each note in the original tracks will make a sound correctly when you hit it.
b. lighting Optimization: We have removed heavy graphic effects and resources, so the workload is significantly reduced(loading time and input latency is reduced as well).
There are more things coming for you, so stay tuned.
Oh, and we wish you a happy X-mas and a new year.
Thank you

Liked this game, unfortunately no more updates coming in. Almost 2023 now, I lost hope for this game. Please do not buy it. This game is dead.
Precise and fast hit detection is crucial in simulations like this, and this app often fails at it. It can still be enjoyed if used as a casual drumming simulator but the £15/$20 price tag is absolutely unjustifiable. Paradiddle is many times better than this and costs only £8/$10. I might change this review to 'Positive' some day if the developers significantly reduce the price.
Really great game but if you have the Windows Mixed Reality headset you are best to get this from the Microsoft store becasue the tracking is much better for some reason.
As someone who has a passion for all types of rhythm games, I decided to give this one a try. After playing another VR rhythm game that auto-generated the notes for songs, it was a relief to see this game has note placements that actually follow the beat of the song. The BPMs and sync are well done and the game includes an option to adjust global sync if it feels off-sync. At the time of this review, there are only 20 songs and not too much variety in genre, but there is a built-in editor that allows you to write charts to any MP3 or WAV file you have. The graphical presentation is a very well done and nice to look at, including the option to customize the appearence of the drums and drumsticks after playing a certain number of songs. My only gripe is that sometimes a drum won't register a hit when I'm almost certain I swung my controller correctly, but it could be that I'm not fully used to the motion controls yet. Definitely recommended for anyone who enjoys rhythm games.
Has this game been abandoned? There has been no discussion about it for a very long time in the forum. I picked it up yesterday and it's a fantastic idea, but the tracks that are included are not to my liking but I thought I could get past that by using the import feature which is supposed to generate charts from my own mp3 files. Well, it did generate charts, which is great, but there is no sound from any of the drum pads as soon as the song starts. I tried a half dozen different songs and there is no sound from the drum pads on any of them. The pads work fine on the included songs and you can bang on them while the song is loading but once your custom track starts playing, that's it, the drum pads go silent. Please fix this issue if you're out there? It really is a great game.
Just overall, not a very good game. It feels cheap, even though you're paying 20 dollars, and it just doesn't have a good feel to it. Sometimes it missed notes, even when I clearly see my drumstick hitting the drum. It also gives no instructions on how to create your own songs, or customize other parts of the game. Overall, it just sucks. Would not recommend paying 20 bucks for this.
I was really dissapointed with this game, and I had to return it almost instantly. It may sound wierd but it didn't seem ... real? Most of the time I didn't really know if I hit the drums, which took away the immersive experience I usually have with VR. It didn't feel like I acually played music. It would be nice if the controllers vibrated when you hit the drums or something similar. The game felt very superficial to me. Maybe it's because I play the drums in real life, or maybe the game has changed since I played it.
[b] I should be born as octopus. [/b] Well I thought it should something like drums, but this is hard as french kissing a cobra. You should be an octopus to play this game. I don't know who these peoples with top scores on leaderboard panel. Also this game has LOTS of techno music. First rock track opens on 3rd level, that sucks. Nevertheless on high level you will get more different types of music, chiptune, opera style, rock and may be something else. But if you want to open it you should complete opened musics on S at any level. That sucks too. I don't like techno, I don't like dub'step, after playing 2 hours I am completely dubstepped -_____- Why? Why don't you open all music at the start and make it by genre? Game has it's own editor, you can add your tracks and create your own paths. I don't know is it possible to do this on desctop, but in VR it doesn't seems very convenient. Well main idea is that you should have 8 hand to play this. Very hard. I am not pro drummer, but ...
Wanted to provide a 2022 review into this game. The games hit on the wrong time. This game could have been perfect, but it's not, and that's what's extremely unfortunate about this game. Makling custom songs are very wonky and needs refinining before i will purchase this game again. The custom song feature only places a couple notes - even on hard. Custom drums may be advertised but there is no guide on how to unlock them. Custom song feature frequently crashes with your songs. Overall very unpolished and the price tag is not worth it. Sorry
