Rhythm Taichi (+VR support) for Android

Rhythm Taichi (+VR support) is a music game by Tempstudio, LLC that reinvents 3D rhythm gameplay on mobile by having players slide their fingers along on-screen paths in time with the music. The core loop mimics the flowing motions of Taichi, offering a tactile alternative to conventional tap-based rhythm games. The game is built specifically for touchscreens, using a pathing algorithm that balances comfort and challenge for each hand, while an optimized graphics pipeline keeps input responsive and visuals smooth. A refined touch tracking system, paired with rainfall-style timing effects, provides immediate feedback on how well you sync with the beat. Beyond single-song play, you can refine your runs and submit scores to a global leaderboard to compete with other players. The title also supports a vast library of songs compatible with the Beat Saver format, with in-game integration for thousands of tracks. For VR, you can use a second device as a controller to play in virtual reality, and the 2.0 update adds XR mode on PC, turning your phone into a motion camera without specialized hardware. The app is free to use with ads, and offers an optional $1.99 in-app purchase to remove them. It targets rhythm game enthusiasts who enjoy physical, flowing gestures, as well as players interested in VR or XR experiences. The game requires Android 8.0 or higher and includes access to device identity, contacts, photos/media/files, storage, and camera.
