Rhythm Control 2: A 2012 Classic Returns to Android

Rhythm Control 2, originally released in 2012, is back on Android! This rhythm game, a chart-topper in Japan and Sweden, offers a unique twist on the genre. Featuring a diverse soundtrack from both Western and Japanese artists like Bit Shifter, YMCK, Boeoes Kaelstigen, and Slagsmålsklubben, it's a welcome addition to the mobile rhythm game scene.

Instead of the typical falling-icon gameplay, Rhythm Control 2 presents players with six nodes to tap sequentially. The challenge increases with more complex patterns and unexpected twists.

The objective is simple: tap to the beat and achieve incredibly high scores, potentially sparking a newfound appreciation for obscure Japanese techno along the way!
