Muse Dash

Muse Dash is a side-scrolling rhythm game where players tap and hold to the beat while defeating enemies and dodging obstacles synchronized to the music. The game features an extensive anime-styled song library spanning J-pop, electronic, and classical arrangements with difficulty tiers from beginner to expert. Most of the song catalog requires purchasing DLC packs beyond the base game.

Avoid if
