    Do any of you guys play osu!? It's an incredibly fun Single & Multiplayer game played by people all over the world, it gets great when you start to get the hang of things. Also the variety in beatmaps is crazy awesome, the "eastern culture" ones outbalance western ones just a bit.
    Explanation
    osu! is primarily played using a mouse to click 'beats' displayed on-screen in time with the music. This is analogous to tapping the beats on the Nintendo DS screen with a stylus. At the top of the screen, a health bar is present, which is constantly drained. If the player hits or clears a beat, the health meter at the top of the screen fills slightly. If he misses a beat, a large part of the meter is drained, and if it gets completely empty, he fails the song. There are three types of beats in the game: Hit circles, sliders and spinners. Every time the player hits a hit circle or an end circle, touch a slider tick, or clear a spinner, the combo is raised by 1. If he misses any of the above, the combo is reset back to 0.
    The game can be babby easy and go to handcramping hard depending how you play what level of difficulty you do.

    The concept is cool, but I find it very hard to play with a mouse, especially on difficult songs where you have to make very precise movements.

    Sure I'm free anytime, I may need to use the spinout mod depending on what beatmaps we do though, because of wrist pain developments and I'm awful spinning overall.

    Originally touchpad and keyboard but I've been using a mouse alot more due to sliders in high BPM maps.

    I spent 5 minutes looking for an osu! thread, and there it is! It's an awesome game, I only just found out that I could use the z and x keys to hit. :/ Made the game MUCH more EASIER!

    Perfect solution for you Fate.

    If you ever use a tablet you'll be in heaven.
