Holiday Sale

First, for those unaware, Project Arrhythmia is on sale for the rest of the month and into the new year. So if you're still looking for a gift for your friend... You may wanna consider picking it up at 25% off!

New Publisher

I have exciting news! I found a new publishing partner for Project Arrhythmia! Kwalee has stepped up to help me bring the game to its 1.0 release! They have demonstrated strong interest and support for rhythm games, and I'm very excited to begin working with them. I hope you'll welcome them with open arms in 2026!

Story Update / General Update

November's playtest was a huge success, with substantial feedback and a very positive reception. Story mode is progressing according to schedule, and I expect another playtest a bit into next year, so keep your eyes peeled for those who want more than just levels! I'll also be giving y'all a much-deserved proper update this month with tons of QOL features like the ability to download levels from in-game and a ton of optimizations and editor improvements.

Did I also mention a new non-level OST is coming? With all new menu and cutscene music? Maybe not, but trust me, it's excellent! Made by the fantastically talented Andrew Allanson from YIIK fame!
New Featured Levels Menu for downloading trending, contest, featured, and newest levels. You can also search directly for levels with a new built in robust searching system all without leaving the game!

New "Quick Actions" menu in the editor that allows power users a lot more options for quickly putting a level together (just one of the new QOL editor features).
