3	''[=ReRave=]'' is a rhythm/action game currently released for Platform/{{iOS}} systems and the arcade. It was produced by {{Creator/Kyle Ward}} and Chris Foy, who were two of the same developers behind ''VideoGame/InTheGroove'' before [[ScrewedByTheLawyers Konami filed a lawsuit against them]]. The core mechanic is based on rotating power symbols that match the rhythm when they point up and stop rotating. On beginner levels it's pretty simple. On some higher-rated levels, however, it tends to be [[SurpriseDifficulty much harder than it looks]].

5	Received an update/sequel called ''[=ReRave=] Plus'' in late 2013, which introduced the new [[HarderThanHard Wild difficulty]], and in 2015 finally came to Platform/{{Android}}.
6
7	Not be confused with the song of the same name that was on ''[[VideoGame/PumpItUp Pump It Up Pro]]'', although it ''might'' be a ShoutOut.

9	----
10	!!Provides examples of:
11
12	%% * ButtonMashing: Multi-taps are a rhythm-based version.
13	* {{Exergaming}}: Although right now much of the focus has been on the touchscreen-based versions of the game, it was originally announced as a dance game with a unique touchpad-esque dance pad.
14	* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: Easy, Hard, Master, and Wild.[[note]]There is no Medium, for some reason.[[/note]]
15	* LuckyCharmsTitle: The [=ReRave=] logo is usually stylized with the notes replacing the e's.
16	* MythologyGag: The ''In the Groove 2'' high score music ("Who"), and the ''Pump it Up Pro'' title theme and menu music ("Ignition Starts") are both playable tracks.
17	* RankInflation:
18	** Grades go from F to A to 5 stars as of the 1.3 update.
19	** Originally worked similarly to VideoGame/InTheGroove's grading system, maxing out at 4 Stars. As of [=ReRave=] Plus, Stars now appear to be awarded for getting within 10% of the max score, with 1 Star for 90%, 2 Stars for 92%, etc. all the way up to '''6''' Stars for [[FlawlessVictory exceeding 99%]]. As a result, players now tend to measure the skill of a player by how many stars they have.
20	* RhythmGame: The game is about tapping the buttons in time with the music.
21	* SerialEscalation: Originally the difficulty meter went from 1 to 9; it was later expanded up to 11, and the 13th pack introduced Your Own Destiny, a 12, which was later reclassified as a 13. The game now has a few purposefully designed 13s, such as the infamous Black Magic, and plenty of 12s.
22	%%* SpeedyTechnoRemake: "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by [=KaW=].
23	* VisualPun:
24	** In Moshi Moshi Hard, the notes that accompany the lyrics "out of the blue you came" are all literally blue.
25	** Certain charts for I'll Show You Loving and In the Heat of the Night require you to draw a heart with follows.
