What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Our goal is to make swingmania the best note slicing VR rhythm game on the market. We plan to release many major updates and take community feedback into account during Early Access to achieve that goal.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our estimate is roughly 2 years. The game will be in Early Access until it's in a state where we are happy to call it a complete product.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We are planning to add new scoring modes, new songs, a tutorial, avatar support, graphics improvements, and more, including features suggested by the community during Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Most core gameplay systems are in place and the game includes a number of songs and maps that you can compete on using our swing scoring mode. Some planned features are still missing, placeholders or in an unfinished state.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We are planning to keep swingmania free to play for the foreseeable future.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We want to stay in touch with our players and take feedback and ideas into account during development. We will be reading community feedback sent through Steam Discussions, Discord, and any other social channels where we might see people discuss the game.”

Earn Delicious PP and climb the ranks

The game includes an advanced built in ranked system that lets you see where you stand in the world. Compete to become the #1 swingmania player, or see how far you can make it on the ranked ladder.

Playing ranked maps, such as the built in maps, will award you Performance Points (PP) based on the maps difficulty and your score. The bigger your PP is, the higher your global rank will be!

Multiple note types

The game features multiple types of notes, including

  • Directional notes which have to be hit in the right direction

  • Any direction notes which can be hit in any direction

  • Notes can be colored to indicate which hand you must use to swing at them, or they can be rainbow notes that can be hit with either hand

  • Mines that must be avoided

  • Walls that you must avoid with your head

Wide range of built in maps

The base game includes lots of songs with maps ranging from very easy "true accuracy" maps to nightmare challenge and 688 bpm "vibro"

Optimization at the Core

We are building this game on a brand new game engine with one goal:

To be the most optimized VR game ever made. We are going to extreme lengths no-one else has to ensure the game never drops a single frame during hours of gameplay. The code path for every single frame and situation has been meticulously designed to avoid frame time spikes, and multiple CPU cores are utilized in a smart way.


Did we mention the game has a cat in it?

Honestly this is the real main selling point
