History VideoGame / Voez

* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: Averted HARD. Even the FIRST song has times where the hold note track moves, slide notes, moments where you need to drum chain, and the note tracks never stay still for more than a few seconds. Compared to traditional rhythm games, where there is a strict pattern to how notes appear, Voez works more like a virtual music keyboard, with no easily learned constant pattern that is shared between two different songs.

* HarderThanHard: The difficulty levels go Easy, Hard, and ''Special''. Special is usually this trope, [[NonIndicativeDifficulty but a few songs actually have it easier than Hard.]].

** Same with "Owari to Hajimari to Oto", which is made by the same artist as above except ''much harder''.

* FlawlessVictory: Full Combos and All Perfects

VOEZ is a [[AllegedlyFreeGame Free-to-Play]] RhythmGame for Android, iOS, and the Nintendo Switch developed by Rayark, the same developer behind {{VideoGame/Cytus}} and {{VideoGame/Deemo}}. Notes fall down different tracks and must be tapped when they reach the bottom. The word "tapped" is critical here, because it renders the game unplayable in docked mode; when playing this game, the Nintendo Switch '''must''' be in handheld mode, a first for the system's library. However, the tracks the notes fall down can move, and change color and thickness, adding a [[AwesomeArt visual element to the game]].

* UnwinnableJokeLevel: The 2017 AprilFoolsDay version of Game Game is effectively this. Highlights include teleporting hold notes, notes that are invisible until just before you miss them, and so many notes at once that you'd need all your fingers to get it right. That said, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXNiX7WEluI at least one person]] managed to get All Perfect anyway.

** The game is free to download, but in order to play songs not currently in rotation, [[CosmeticAward as well as unlock avatars to use]] [[RandomlyDrops from the gacha,]] you have to use keys, in the shape of the game's bird, nan, to unlock them. Nans can be unlocked either by unlocking diary entries or buying them with in-app purchases. At the least, there are occasional discounts that make it cheaper to buy nans in bulk, and there ''is'' an option to unlock all songs for 50 nans.

** Unlocked songs will have a colored diamond next to them based on the best combo gotten on that song: blue for a standard full combo, or a gold for an all perfect. These colors are also shown on the diamonds underneath the combo indicator during gameplay, showing the best rank you are currently achieving.

** Each of the characters have a color associated with them, representing the colors of the rainbow, excluding violet.

* RankInflation: It's possible to get an S rating on a song by getting a high enough score.[[note]]Specifically, 950,000 out of a million, pretty much guaranteeing you the rank if you get a Full Combo or All Perfect[[/note]]

* HarderThanHard: The difficulty levels go Easy, Hard, and ''Special''. Special is usually this trope, [[NonIndicativeDifficulty but a few songs actually have it ''easier'' than Hard.]].
