Enter the bright-eyed and neon world of the DJ Units, where music-mixing girl squads are the party. Scratch, slide, hold and tap notes as they slide down the board in over 130 songs. You can also customise which types of tunes that you want assistance with, or just listen along in audience mode to relax and play through the story.

Whether you've never touched a piano before or you're used to creating musical masterpieces, this simplistic experience is sure to deliver on fun. Tap the tiles to follow the rhythm and immerse yourself in a gorgeous flow of melodies and harmonies – the more stars you amass by playing, the more songs you unlock to add to your repertoire.

Slickly interweaving story and gameplay, this anime-inspired adventure follows Fisica and Ritmo's quest to return life to the world. Using the Notalium tuner, you must tap, swipe, flick and hold notes to cleanse and realign the world's crystals to save the day.

The usual fare for rhythm games of sliding, tapping and holding notes in time is just one part of Deemo II's charms. Its beautiful and original music is wrapped around a rich storytelling experience of exploration and discovery. The fully animated and voice-acted cutscenes really do make it a must-play for fans of adventure games too.

Feel the pulse of every beat as you tap and swipe along to hundreds of your favourite songs in this exciting rhythm game. From timeless classics to modern hits and undiscovered gems, master and unlock new tracks to keep the party going. You can even create playlists and share your scores to see who rocks the hardest.
