Deemo 2013

Is it still worth playing?

Rayark's rhythm game for iOS and Android, released in November 2013, later on PlayStation Vita as Deemo: Last Recital, on Switch, as a 3D remake and on PC. A little girl named Alice falls from a trapdoor in the sky and meets Deemo, a mysterious black being whose piano music grows a tree meant to help her get back to her world. It is a score based music game. Each playable song has three levels, Easy, Normal and Hard, rated on a scale that now runs from 1 to 12, and a few songs have an unlockable Expert difficulty. You can set the speed of the notes before a level, from 0.5 to 9.5. Songs can also be autoplayed in Chart Mode, which disqualifies scores and limits tree growth. Some notes you tap individually, while yellow notes let you slide across in a chain. You can still play each song at the pace that suits you, by choosing how fast the notes fall.
