The headline addition is the long-awaited Online Lobby Browser. While multiplayer was already part of the experience, finding a match is now significantly more intuitive. You can now browse public lobbies or set up private sessions for your crew, removing the friction of manual coordination. For a game built on 3x3 grid precision, having a smoother path to competitive play is a huge win for the community.
Creative players are getting a significant boost with the experimental Note Builder. This tool allows for more direct control over the rhythmic experience, alongside new import functionality for skins, maps, and replays directly within the settings menu. It’s clear the focus is on giving us more ways to customize how we interact with the grid.
Technical refinements and quality-of-life changes include:
- Keybind Manager: Full control over your inputs to match your specific playstyle.
- Customization Depth: Support for RGB/Hex color inputs and custom trail images for better visual feedback.
- Stability: Multiple crash fixes and improved profile sanitization for cleaner leaderboards.
By streamlining the multiplayer search and providing internal tools for content creation, this update shifts Rhythia from a solo-focused rhythm trainer into a much more robust social platform. Whether you're here to climb the leaderboards or build the next viral map, the technical hurdles just got a lot shorter.
