Skip it if you…

Saves you a refund
  • Players seeking story missions, combat, or a broad set of gameplay systems may find the shape-matching loop narrow.
  • Players who want substantial variety between repeated sessions may tire of rotating the cluster to catch matching rays.

Our take on Raycatcher

Players who need beat-perfect input may bounce off when the core interaction turns out to be rotating a shape cluster toward matching light, rather than pressing timed notes. The three difficulty levels also include an insanely difficult setting that may create a sharp progression wall.

What is Raycatcher?

Raycatcher is a music-driven casual game that uses beat detection to alter gameplay in response to loaded tracks.

Players rotate a group of colorful shapes to catch light rays matching those shapes. Successful matches expand and change the group through 30 evolutionary stages, each with its own description. The game accepts MP3 and WAV files, supports playlists of any length, and includes music by Noobie Noobinson, including tracks made for the game. Three difficulty levels range from easy-yet-challenging to insanely difficult. Its play loop combines music playback, rotating shapes, matching colors, and progression through the cluster’s evolving forms.
