Arrow-music-thingy genre

Post by Nordbjerg »

Hey.

I was just wondering.. what do you call games where you have to press some keys (typically the arrow keys) in sync with some music playing in the background? Like Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe or Dance! Online.

Thank you :)

Generally, most are referred to as rhythm games.

Rhythm is defined as:
A strong, regular, repeated pattern of movement or sound.
