I'm going to be directly comparing to Cytus 2 because this is in my opinion a free alternative to that game. Anyone can chart new levels which means there are potentially many more charts to play and more popular music from other games, anime, etc. There are of course downsides to that too. It can be hard to find easy charts so Cytoid isn't that beginner friendly. Compared to Cytus 2, Cytoid feels less polished and the levels aren't made as well as the ones in Cytus 2. Cytoid is free though!

Hi there, we made a lot of optimizations and added a bunch of cool features in 2.0. Could you try it out and let us know your opinions? Thanks!

Cytus 1 and 2 are far better than this. Its great to have a community driven game that makes custom charts but the biggest problem with this is that the note timing is WAY TOO STRICT. There are far too many offset calibration settings that either make no sense or just flat out don't feel correct at all. Why overcomplicate it when the game you are ripping off does calibration far more simpler and is way more responsive. Also the charters overchart every song so custom charts are just garbage.

Hello, you can update your DSP buffer size to "Default" and base note offset to 0, it should match your device. As for the level offset and level quality, we will have more updates to standardize these, you can follow up these in our Discord!

it's very similar to Cytus2, and it's a nice alternative if you want to add your own songs. My only big takeaway is that it mixes osu laser gameplay, and it sucks. In Cyprus all you need to do is time it with the line but in Cytoid you need to be able to sync it with the music just like OSU laser so it's harder to time it than Cytus also it doesn't have a pop-up mode if your use to the mode like me and the Calibration is based on the beat rather than the speed.
