speaking as someone who’s played robeats for well over 8 months now
yes it’s bad in many areas but I can’t discredit it too much since it introduced me to mania
i still do play it, and let me tell you, getting high ranks in this game all boils down to either how much grinding you do or how much money you spend (since i’m sure most of you are aware there are gears in the game that increase your score, and you can buy coins to get money to make sand gears)
i only do it because it has an economy, and although p2w, is still an interesting concept for a rhythm game
