Ranocta

Ranocta is a music game and the second creation of “Lanota - Music game with story.” In a dark world that has yet to recover, you use an unstable makeshift tuner to purify it. The tuner combines a skeletal judgment line with a music-energy stone called a purification stone.

Rhythm gameplay

The judgment line moves freely between straight lines and circles. You use eight key inputs to control two purification stones placed on the line and hit notes remotely. The nine note types each have a different way of being destroyed, and their combinations form 27 song patterns, ranging from easy to very challenging.

Music and visuals

The game includes some pieces from Lanota, brought over with permission from Noxy Games Inc. and the composers. Its screen-filling visuals exclude characters and emphasize color over shape, with object designs and illustrations made for each piece of music. Their clumsy, chunky style creates a sensuous, profound atmosphere.
