What’s new in each release.
v2.3.0
Every road is rebuilt around its song: the melody, the big moments and the drops.
- Roads follow the melody: fast runs become streams of orbs, and the road rises with the tune.
- Every song is listened to note by note, so the road follows the tune in every genre.
- Quiet parts breathe, choruses get busier, and drops land hard.
- Repeated parts of a song play the same way, so you can learn them.
- Lanes follow the music: rising notes step right, panned sounds sit on their side.
- New: slides, holds that bend into the next lane.
- Holds on long bass notes.
- Every song gets harder as it goes.
- On Elite, hazards cost points.
- Missed orbs stay on the road, and your multiplier is on screen.
