''Rhythm 'n' Face'' is a RhythmGame created by Creator/OsamuSato and released on the [=PS1=] exclusively in Japan in 2000, following the release of VideoGame/LSDDreamEmulator. The game was created largely in response to the rhythm game craze of the time, particularly VideoGame/ParappaTheRapper which it takes some design cues from.
The game revolves around creating faces using a combination of squares, circles and triangles aligned to a grid - [[WriteWhatYouKnow in much the same way Sato creates his art]] - that must be manipulated to the beat of the stage's music. There are a total of twelve stages (not including [[BonusStage bonus stages]]), each of which has its own distinct genre and accompanying character that dances along with the player's actions.
This was Osamu Sato's final venture into video games, and after ''Rhythm 'n' Face'''s release, Sato would become solely a musician and artist from then onwards.
