1 Osu! (2007) ★ 7.3 IGDB Released Sep 16, 2007 Open the desktop Beatmap Editor and set timing points before you place notes. The in-game editor supports timing and object placement. You can upload beatmaps to the game’s site, where other players can test your chart and leave feedback. 0 2 Rhythm Doctor (2025) ★ 8.8 IGDB Released Dec 6, 2025 Use the level editor to place the pulses and cues you want players to follow. You can work in the same one-button rhythm style as the story. On PC, the community level system is a way to pass on an original track or an experiment with a rhythm pattern. 0 3 Rift of the NecroDancer (2025) ★ 7.9 IGDB Released Feb 5, 2025 Build a chart in the level editor by deciding which enemies enter the lanes at each beat. Their different movement gives the same note position a different challenge. On Steam, Workshop sharing gives players a way to subscribe and try what you made. 0 4 Spin Rhythm XD (2023) ★ 7.8 IGDB Released Mar 14, 2023 Use the PC chart editor to decide how taps, turns, spins and holds line up with the song. It helps to test the direction changes while playing because a pattern can be musically right and still feel awkward under your hands. Share the playable chart through the custom chart community. 0 5 Trombone Champ (2022) ★ 7.5 IGDB Released Sep 15, 2022 Use the built-in Tootmaker to chart a tune around the slide and the length of each note. Test the phrases in the game and adjust the spots where the slide has to move quickly. The Steam version lets you publish the finished track to Workshop for other players to try. 0 6 Quaver (2022) ★ 7.0 IGDB Released Dec 28, 2022 Use the built-in editor for four-key or seven-key layouts. Chart a short phrase first and test how it reads at speed. The online map system gives other players a place to discover the result when it is ready. 0 7 StepMania (2001) ★ 8.1 IGDB Released Oct 12, 2001 Use Edit/Share to place dance steps against music, set timing and test different difficulties. A chart and its music belong in the same song folder. Share the playable simfile folder with others when you are allowed to redistribute everything in it. 0 8 Project OutFox (2019) Released Dec 13, 2019 Open the editor for a compatible step or chart format, or use an editor that exports that format. OutFox supports several rhythm styles, so pick one input layout before authoring. A finished song folder can travel between compatible setups. 0 9 A Dance of Fire and Ice (2014) ★ 7.0 IGDB Released Oct 4, 2014 Design a path in the level editor and use turns to express changes in the song’s rhythm. A short route is the best way to test whether the rhythm reads from the geometry. PC players can publish compatible levels through Steam Workshop. 0 10 Beat Saber (2018) ★ 8.5 IGDB Released May 1, 2018 Use the official PC Level Editor to place note blocks, obstacles and other beat events.
