Rotaeno will be launching worldwide later this May, a game that dubs itself the “first rotation control mobile rhythm game”. Pre-registrations are likewise open on both Android and iOS for those who are interested.

Rotaeno utilizes a phone’s gyroscope, wherein you can move your phone around to “catch” the notes. Developers Dream Engine Games have also included a “Table Mode” for you to spin your tablet on a surface instead of utilizing the gyroscope. While the tweet is pinned, the fact it’s posted on 1 April of all days might make you wonder just how “real” it is.

In any case, joining their Discord seems to be the best idea, since the official website states that there will be Discord exclusive content. Some may also try to submit songs through their Contact method.

4gamer notes a 370 yen price for iOS / Android, and 300 yen through TapTap. 4 songs will be available for free for a limited time when you log in between 30 May to 30 June 2022. 24 songs will be available at launch, Chapter 1 Story Mode and two paid packs. Additional paid song packs will be released monthly henceforth.
