Catch Notes: My Biggest Enemy In Rotaeno

Catch Notes: My Biggest Enemy In Rotaeno

538 View2024-02-02
I love rotaeno. If you haven’t played it, play it now. (If you have the money, of course.)
I’d also say I’m pretty good at it. Not quite the best, but decently good.
I SUCK at catch notes. But, let’s dive deeper.
If you haven’t played Rotaeno before, first you should know Rotaeno is an absolute banger of a game, secondly that the game’s gimmick is in the name: Rotation.
In the images you can see examples of charts from the game; they involve notes coming from the center of the screen and landing on the outer ring. Depending on the note, you do certain things.
Tap (Blue and Green circles): Tap the note
Flick (Purple Circle with lines): Swipe in any direction through the note
Drag (Yellow big or small diamond): Hold through the note
Rotate (Red and Blue huge circles): Flick device in specified direction
And finally, Catch (Red small teardrop shapes): Rotate the Catch Zone (on the left and right sides of your screen) to match the location of the Catch Note.
Notice how Drags and Catches are similar, but with one main difference.
You don’t have to tap for Catches.
This means that they’re free to force your phone into awkward rotations while tapping notes, and they can also sometimes mess up your reading skills.
I am not good with them.
I continuously mess them up for drag notes, so when they put a stream of catch notes and also add tap notes I end up missing the tap note by accident.

Whoops!
I’m trying to get out of the habit but it’s hard :(
Also, these catch notes can get out of hand. Like, someone require you to turn your phone 90°. It’s very inconvenient, I’ll tell you that.
God forbid Rush E’s 360° catch note stream. I know it’s only April Fools, but W H Y.
So yeah that’s basically all for this post. Play rotaeno, and if you’re curious about the games actual gameplay, a video has been linked of me playing :>

Rotaeno Review: A Rotation Revolution
We've all had a beat stuck in our heads that stayed with us the entire day. At best, we forgot it after a few hours without annoying too many people with our incessant humming, and at worst, we got caught busting a move right when we thought no one was looking! It's no wonder that this human behavior was captured and turned into a genre of entertainment known as rhythm games. With the success of titles like

Rotaeno Review - A Letter to Developers
A unique experience of music. A journey through a universe full of unknowns. A perfect rotation control mobile rhythm game. Part one When we talk about music games on mobile phones, which is the first one that comes to you? Is it Cytus, Deemo, Voez, Arcaea or other games? Rotaeno is a music game that uses a smartphone's gyroscope to spin the device and press notes to the beat. The game tells the story that in the end of the world, I would embark on the a cosmic journey with the maiden Iroh, looking for the promised land recorded in the prophecy.

Unexpected and pleasant experience
A lot of rhythm games are coming to smartphones.  For the most part, they are pianos or Taiko clones.  But once in a thousand years, one game comes out that justifies the platform on which this game came out.  Let's say cheers!  Because Rotaeno is just such a game.  The gyroscope mechanic is (surprisingly) rarely used in mobile games, much more it has taken root in games on the ps-movie or several different approaches from Nintendo.  But now I want to tell you, it works best on smartphones.  The rotation mechanic makes the whole session much more dynamic than it could be.  + The feeling becomes even more interesting when you realize that this is not just an abstract level, but a racing track along which you fly at great speed.
