❤ Rhythm Gameplay and Music

The game features a rhythm minigame where players must hit notes that scroll down the screen in time with ten original punk, ska, and alternative rock tracks. The note patterns require quick left/right movements and rapid button presses to hit multiple notes in quick succession. Players can choose between a "Punk Mode" where missing too many notes ends the song, or a "Default Mode" that continues the song regardless of mistakes, allowing players to enjoy the music and story even if they struggle with the rhythm gameplay. Reviewers consistently praise the game's fantastic, catchy, and energetic soundtrack, with many listeners enjoying the music outside of the game as well.

❤ Story and Visual Novel Gameplay

The game also includes a linear visual novel-style narrative, following the story of a teenage punk rock band. Players read through dialogue and advance the story by pressing a button, occasionally encountering pacing issues where the game doesn't clearly indicate when the player should progress. However, reviewers describe the overall story and characters as charming, relatable, and well-written, with the coming-of-age narrative and punk rock setting resonating with many players.

❤ Customization and Replayability

While the core story is linear, the game offers additional modes and features for increased replayability. Players can unlock and replay any song in a "Practice Mode" to try and achieve higher scores. There is also an achievement system that encourages players to perfect each song by earning "electric stars" for hitting every note correctly, a challenging task that adds depth for players seeking to master the rhythm gameplay.
