i can tell you as someone who tried with no music knowledge, its not *that* bad, eventually you just trust that your fingers know better than you do and it kinda works
As a composer and engraver, there are far too many unfairly notated rhythms for the harder syncopations. The quarter note rest displayed by a 16th note is absolutely unforgivable, even in this game
it looks like health loss is _only_ frozen during level transition, and outside that is at some constant rate which increases at each level and which isn't relative to the tempo
Luckily the final 5 second countdown resets between each round so it is impossible to lose between the rounds Edit: this is wrong the letter rounds have a tempo so slow that you do lose in between rounds.
@@sinzones3909 I expect that it isn't a "bug" so much as an oversight - they were just going for a quick and simple implementation of the mechanics in order to put it out fast as a fan game, and they didn't think about actually making it feasible to keep playing indefinitely - "after we run out of new beat patterns and we turn off the sounds, we still want the difficulty to increase, hmmm... ok, drain the health over time and increase drain as they progress, done" this does have the side effect of making the game punishing though it's arguably for the wrong reasons note that it's a very conceptually simple difficulty curve, in the sense that it involves very few variables to define how it works and less design-thinking to implement - but of course, simple doesn't mean good, and this one feels awful and uneven because of what it's _not_ taking into account - it would take additional design effort to make the simple difficulty curve into a "good" difficulty curve
lol im someone who has been doing music things my whole life but can't read musical notation well and this really gives me conflicting feelings also i don't remember once seeing a choir using musical notation (granted, i was only in choirs like twice)
Maybe a hot take, I dislike it when rhythm games slowly drain your life over time even without mistakes. Its an old arcade hang-over to keep quarters coming in
Honestly, as an amateur drummer, I did a bunch of similar-ish practice exercises when practicing Jazz improvisation that it felt not that bad. I would struggle at the end as well, but outside of the screen shake, it sounded not too bad
theres a channel on yt called sight read drums, from time to time it posts videos on snare exercises like these. they're super fun and a lot harder than this
My first score was 20, but the last 5 or 6 were all on the brink of death haha! (and I definitely got a lot of easier patterns earlier on) We had the same reaction when cues disappeared too, the slow ones are definitely health drainers...
As a music student who used to have a pretty dang good sense of rythm for what I was asked to do, I was following the whole thing very well by hitting my finger on my leg as if I was playing, but then the whole red blurry section was just impossible to me.
the only thing is, when the cues are removed, it isn't a rhythm game anymore. rhythm games always involve hearing, with or without a visual representation of the tempo, that lets you recognize and predict the _rhythm_ of the sequence of beats. reading musical scores completely lacks this
it turns into a sightreading game. pretty fun if you have a music background, turns into hell otherwise though i suck at reading actual rhythm games (how are you supposed to read taiko no tatsujin when they come so fast)
What do you mean? The _sheet music_ is how you predict when to tap, and you still have to tap in the context of the rhythm of the song (pretty much the fundamental thing about rhythm games). Besides, there are plenty of rhythm games that only have visual cues as indicators of when to tap, such as Taiko no Tatsujin like the other guy mentioned
I think rhythm hell is a cute game! my highest score is 14 which is not that bad just for me! Oh yeah the creator of rhythm hell also did rhythm purgatory but did it as a April fools joke (not a real game tho, maybe it be a real game someday? Who knows) and it also has my favourite jazz song giant steps which is the best jazz song and also a FORBIDDEN song ofc but yeah glad you like it! (Fun fact, the creator of that game also does storyboards and backgrounds for different animated series like We Bare Bears, We Bare Bears: The Movie, Centaurworld, The Ghost and Molly McGee, and We Lost Our Human!)
I got it second try. First try was the "not bad the audience is entertained" Seems like playing rythm games really did the trick despite not knowing much about music even at the weird times.
@@youssefbencheikh8637 Mainly good rhythm and luck, but mostly luck... When you're on a slow part and it starts with a rest, you're screwed no matter what, which is what happened to me lol
I found this so reassuring lol. I really thought my sight-reading skills had decayed (years of mostly neglecting practice and not being in ensembles like I always used to be) much more than they apparently have. I didn't do perfectly playing along (made myself clap/tap/whatever with the first time each phrase appeared too) and I'd prob have failed the game sooner lol but I did way better than I thought I would XD this was fun, thanks for posting it, I might have to hunt up this game now Edit: Found it in description and installed it, does anyone know how to tweak the game files so that I can throw in some compensation for latency?
This feels like that one time i tried getting teached to play the piano but ended up basic stuff and faster and faster endlessly instead of advancing so basically i started messing up cuz of repetitiveness
I can keep and copy rhythm, but I cannot read music. Not even when i was in band (I really just repeated what I heard). So this game turning off the claps is hurtful.
as someone who cant read notes very well, i was able to survive without much mistakes (in my head, im not going to itch,io for this) until the sound cues turned off
felt like playing Hard Mode Elite Beat Agents toward the end there, just watching your health in pointless freefall without enough opportunities to get points back
was tapping along on my kitchen table and doing great until the cues were gone cuz im pitch and beat perfect in my ears but cant quite read music yet 😭
I was so ready to play the game but I'm having latency issues. Wish there was a setting for it! Either that or I'm perpetually late, but I hit right on time when I'm just tapping along to your video.
As someone with musical knowledge and skill this becomes easy when you know what all the mystic symbols mean it’s a rhythm not a hex this game is a fun exercise
This is the one game that has actually prepped me to be pretty decent at keeping time to the point that the drummer relies on me as backup just incase his click track fails him. We do rythm excercises together so we dont run into situations like that tho

Its looks kinda funny but also kinda uncanny valley for me.
Uncanny

Fancy seeing a rusty lake fan here
@@breakcor3what is that
having done my stint in concert band, my heart sunk as soon as I saw "slow down" the slow ones are brutal always
The human brain is built upon speed and efficiency.
Which is why speed games are so popular
And why slow notes are so excruciating
@@5upertnt_ng73 um..... no lol. we are not remotely fast.
average human reaction time is 250 ms. that's not fast compared to many many many animals

it is supposed to be hell after all, you don't get to win no matter how good you are
As a former choir kid and rhythm heaven lover this game looks fucking amazing haha
bruh
Same lol this was a ton of fun to try to play along with, my skills have decayed much less than I thought. Def still a challenge though

also i don't remember once seeing a choir using musical notation (granted, i was only in choirs like twice)

It is called hell for a reason tbh, otherwise the criticism is valid
@@sashali6666 yep
hp drain sometimes can force you to play perfectly... which sux when you already have the tools to force that upon yourself on your own
Osu player here!I only know that too well
@@chrispham6599i mean tbf in osu it’s only significant on songs that are above ur difficulty range
As a musician, I have to say that was genuinely so impressive though, especially when he freaking sight read them almost perfectly 😭
great at polyrhythms but terrible at triplets 😅
Honestly, as an amateur drummer, I did a bunch of similar-ish practice exercises when practicing Jazz improvisation that it felt not that bad. I would struggle at the end as well, but outside of the screen shake, it sounded not too bad
I got 19 on my first try too! Learning the timing was a bit difficult, but once you learn it, it's not too bad until the higher scores
Yeah because the input lag is absolutely atrocious
@@Roblafo that's my main issue with this game, why can't they just minimize input lag and make it playable?
THE SCREEN SHAKES SO FOUL LMAO
The speed decreases look like they were overkill.
As a music major this looks like a blast without cues
THIS SHOULD ADD TO NEW RHYTHM HEAVEN FRANCHISE AS AN ENDLESS GAME AND NORMAL GAME

one must imagine seals happy
As a musician, it was joyful when I heard you singing rhythm before clapping
I live for the occasional gasps of dispair
I laughed so hard at 2:43 cuz my brain just automatically crashes when it sees triplets
_Bro, this guy has a very good musical flair, if I were him, I could not. Keep up the good work bro, you are one of the best players in this game!_
Why’d you write in italics? Like, all italics
the desperate and shocked "I CAN READ!"at 5:35 made me laugh until i was weeping and also hiccupping
“NOH, I CAHNT READ”
I was tapping this out on my knee and I was stressed, I can’t imagine actually PLAYING this game
imagine the cbat guy finds this
No
I got it second try.
First try was the "not bad the audience is entertained"
Seems like playing rythm games really did the trick despite not knowing much about music even at the weird times.
This game will make any drummer cry
I got 23 first try, but got 19 on any further tries
Edit: HOLY CRAP I GOT 39
39? how the hell is it even possible?
@@youssefbencheikh8637 Mainly good rhythm and luck, but mostly luck... When you're on a slow part and it starts with a rest, you're screwed no matter what, which is what happened to me lol
This game makes me physically rage with anger, and I never even played it.
I hope this gets people interested in rhythmn heaven
the no cues would send me to the abyss immediately
I thought 8 minutes was too long to watch rhythm hell yet me following the rhythm not knowing how time flies xD
The seal that’s giving your character the side eye.. it deserves a chokehold ngl
as a not-actively-practicing-or-playing-piano player this looks incredibly agonizing

Being a drummer, after a little while.
I use this as a warmup, both for arms and feet.
This feels like that one time i tried getting teached to play the piano but ended up basic stuff and faster and faster endlessly instead of advancing so basically i started messing up cuz of repetitiveness
As a percussionist i see this game as a fun exercise
Wait I thought this was a Louie Zong video, man you’re great lol. You’d also do a good impression of him 😂
im flattered LOL i love louies stuff
3:35 that "ew" was super justified
This is something that band has prepared me for, alas i am quite bad at the slow bits without cues
I couldn't get past 10 on the web browser but I got to 19 my first try after downloading. Finally that music minor pays off
I can keep and copy rhythm, but I cannot read music. Not even when i was in band (I really just repeated what I heard). So this game turning off the claps is hurtful.
This has the potential to be a good channel
subbed! hope you make more content like this this is great!
🗿
Damn you deserve more subscribers
no i dont this is just a vod dump account LOL
4:15 you played this really clean. good work
As someone who was in choir and plays an instrument, I'm prepared
as someone who cant read notes very well, i was able to survive without much mistakes (in my head, im not going to itch,io for this) until the sound cues turned off
Haha wow that was great, didn't know someone actually made a game of it! Here's a comment to help boost your channel
I play an instrument but I still don’t get why you did better 😭
This unironically has improved my reading skills measurably
Jesus Christ, I wouldn’t be able to process anything towards the end, idk how you managed that
Music student for decades, those quarter rest followed by sixtheens rhythms are hell
When they turned off the sound- my autism could never 💀
you have a nice voice for someone with 200 subs
keep up the good work
felt like playing Hard Mode Elite Beat Agents toward the end there, just watching your health in pointless freefall without enough opportunities to get points back
I cant belive they actually did a game of a 1 min video...
As a trumpet player for 7ish years of experience i can say for certain this is hell
These seals remind me of that tanasinn meme but instead of being creepy they're just genuinely silly little guys
was tapping along on my kitchen table and doing great until the cues were gone cuz im pitch and beat perfect in my ears but cant quite read music yet 😭
Mozart dictating the last few lines of Requiem to Salieri toward the bitter end there🔻🔻🔻🔥🔥☠️.
this looks really fun, might try it as well
>Play game for the first time
>beat it in one try/8 minutes

man, i would literally play like that

5:32 "I CAN READ!" took me back to my kindergarten days :D
Ive played instruments my whole life and i probably couldn’t do this
What I supposed to learn in 8 years I learned in 8 minutes
Looks like someone listens in music class when they were younger
I did not expect there to be septuplets only halfway into it lol
3:22 sounds godly
I dunno what to comment but Imma just push this one out there for the algorithm
after getting all the superbs on rh megamix i think i finally have the sense of rhythm to beat this
i'm a multi instrumentalist in winds and a cello player but slow rhythms by ear are like the death of me dawg😭😭
Games made to suffer will never not be amusing to watch
the audacity of that seal to give the snarkiest side eyes after giving the most unfathomable beats is so funny
just did it and got to 26 on my first try, i was on red for like 9 levels lmfao
This video will go viral. Pls remember me
They need to get rid of that passive drain
shoulda joined jazz band
As someone with musical knowledge and skill this becomes easy when you know what all the mystic symbols mean it’s a rhythm not a hex this game is a fun exercise
The way the characters move in beats kinda help
My bro is suffering. Even I can feel his fingers suffering from hitting the notes

This is the one game that has actually prepped me to be pretty decent at keeping time to the point that the drummer relies on me as backup just incase his click track fails him. We do rythm excercises together so we dont run into situations like that tho
God I’m getting flashbacks to band and clapping to Rhythms on the board
As a pianist, I would be pretty good at this
