Our take on Groove Coaster
Rather than keeping play on a fixed lane, the game sends players along a roller-coaster route through a 360-degree visual space. Its two modes also distinguish single-handed play from a two-handed rhythm setup.
What is Groove Coaster?
Groove Coaster is a rhythm game that sets songs along a roller-coaster-like route.
Players time keyboard or controller inputs to the beat as the route moves through a 360-degree visual space. Casual mode uses simple, single-handed play, while Arcade mode uses both hands. The base game includes 58 tracks. Players can choose from 47 avatars and 6 items, select among 16:9, 4:3, and 1:1 landscape ratios, or use a vertical display. Non-stop mode allows selection of up to 10 songs. The game supports Steam controllers and other controllers; the vendor provides setup instructions for configuring a controller to work as a Steam controller.
