At just over £5, its cheap for what you get and very well put together. The other amazing thing with Raindrops is the price. The way everything flows is very pretty in a minimalist way. It is a nice switch up that stops things being stale although I’d have loved having that as a starter option, then the centre screen for a second mode and perhaps a four axis third mode too. ![]() Later levels also move things to a pong perspective where rain falls from the top of the screen and your paddle is at the bottom collecting the drops. Its not a huge grind thankfully and reminds me of how Muse Dash makes you play all the songs so you can unlock anything new. ![]() I struggled on normal mode on the later songs, which unlock as you replay tracks and earn XP. This gets tricky quickly as each of the 17 songs has two difficulty modes. Your scores are percentage based and whilst collecting and hitting things is great, timing is needed for perfection. Like most great rhythm games there are time syncing options to line up sound and visuals and this is key to your set up as Raindrops expects you to aim for perfection. You can save it and rebuild it back again quite quickly but it means that if you lost the rhythm for more than a few seconds – its game over instantly. You have a life meter and consecutive misses really tank your meter. Between them all, you’ll be moving up and down whilst clicking away to the melodies quickly. Lastly you may need to use a mouse wheel on a few notes too. Some of those may need to held on a click like a long sustain note. One kind simply just need collecting whereas others may need a left or right click as they land. You play as a pong like paddle in the centre and you’ll use your mouse to move up and down to collect the drops with your paddle. It all wraps up into a neat package that really makes an impact and whilst it is not going to take over your life, it is a great addition to the music game genre.įor each song raindrops fall in from the left and right sides of the screen to a the centre – almost like a mirror image. A rhythm action game that is minimalist in design, artsy in its execution and also focused on more relaxed music compared to happy hardcore anthems. That being said, often rhythm action games can be quite stale at times so I appreciate it when someone tries something new.Įnter Raindrops. I don’t even think I can be as objective with this genre as most others because music is life to me. ![]() Long time viewers of Higher Plain Games will know I love a rhythm action game.
