Our take on Direct

Players who struggle with rapidly changing color and sound cues will likely bounce off when obstacle speed rises across the harder modes. The slow-motion unlock provides a lower-speed route, but high-score chasing still depends on handling increasingly quick sequences.

What is Direct?

Direct is a score-attack game built around color and sound cues.

Players move quickly, avoid successive obstacle sets, and earn points for each successful sequence. Points can be spent on cosmetic ship changes and used to open tougher difficulty levels. The game includes five difficulty modes and ten cosmetic ship variations. A slow-motion option can also be unlocked, reducing the pace while retaining access to the full game. The vendor estimates completion from 0 to 100 percent in two hours, while the score-based structure supports returning for higher totals. The game also includes 520 Steam achievements.

02Cosmetic ship changes: Ten visual ship variants can be obtained by spending points.

Direct compared to similar games

Intralism is also a rhythm game, but it centers on matching arcs to music, player-created beatmaps, online multiplayer, and global rankings. Direct instead uses obstacle avoidance, score-based unlocks, cosmetic ship variants, five difficulty modes, and an unlockable slow setting. Super Chicken Jumper combines running with shooting, while Direct does not describe combat.
