Rhythm Doctor Confirms Switch 2 Edition, Switch 1 Version Still Happening

The Switch 2 Edition news was shared today.

Rhythm Doctor is a rhythm game set in a world where defibrillating patients' hearts in sync with their heartbeats has healing properties. You press the spacebar in perfect time on the seventh beat, and the patients might come out okay. Every patient has an illness based on music theory such as polyrhythms, hemiolas and irregular time signatures, and the game is built to teach you rhythm theory as you play.

The game has more than 20 handmade levels, each with its own story and a different rhythm concept. A large cast of doctors and patients drives an overarching storyline, and you can play solo or bring a friend for drop-in, drop-out local multiplayer across the whole campaign. There is also a level editor that lets you make and share levels using your own music, with notes snapped to the beat and more than 50 visual effects and backgrounds. Each level also has a harder Night Shift version for those who want the challenge.
