How to Play Rhythm Sprout? All Controls Explained

Getting Started

When getting started in Rhythm Sprout, the first thing to know is that there are two standard types of notes to hit. Once lined up in your black hitbar, you’ll need to hit the corresponding button(s) that connect to them. Yellow notes correspond to your left d-pad and Red notes correspond to your right face buttons. Any of the four buttons on that side of the controller can be pressed.

Dodging

Oftentimes in Rhythm Sprout, especially when in a battle with an enemy, you’ll need to hit your shoulder buttons in order to block enemy attacks. These attacks come in the form of long blue notes and like the others, you can use either shoulder button which will successfully dodge. If you miss a doge, you’ll lose an HP bar. For every x20 combos, you’ll gain an HP bar back.

Finishing Move

At certain points, enemies will trigger a Finishing Move that you’ll use to dispatch them. You’ll need to spam-click your left and right buttons as fast as possible. Pressing them as quickly as you can rack up a ton of extra points for you. Be sure not to mistakenly go for your shoulder buttons or trigger buttons, as they won’t work in these instances.

Sugar Rush

A Sugar Rush is an effect that can be activated once per level by pressing one of the trigger buttons. Once activated, the notes on-screen will appear in white color which allows you to hit any button you wish and will not only restore your HP bars but also give you +400 points for every note hit. These are great to use when in a pinch health-wise as your health will be completely maxed out.

Trap Notes

Trap Notes appear as purple and should be avoided, as they can cause you damage and set you back a bit.
