Cytus is a Rhythm Game developed for iOS, Android, PS Vitanote Although the Vita version has been more or less discontinued with the closure of the PlayStation Mobile service and Nintendo Switch by Rayark.The game can be described as a horizontal, non-splitscreen version of DJMax Technika: A black scan line scrolls up and down and you must hit notes as the line goes over them. Occasionally, there are "hold" notes that must be held down until the entire note passes, and "drag" notes where the note must be dragged as the line sweeps over it.Cytus is available for 1.99 USD. Initially, Rayark adapted a "Million Downloads Plan": three chapters were initially available with the next two chapters being DLC purchases, and every 100,000 downloads would reveal a new chapter and unlock the oldest DLC-locked chapter, the idea being to reach 1 million downloads to provide roughly 100 additional songs total. This goal was met in March 2015, and as of Cytus 8.0, released in July 2015, all ten main chapters, as well as the special chapters Symphony, Knight, and Million are available for play upon purchase, with 149 songs across all of these chapters. The special chapters Prologue, Retro, Timeline and Deemo can be purchased separately for 4.99 USD each, alongside Night Keepers for 3.99 USD and L for 9.99 USD, bringing up the song count to 200 songs for roughly 36 USD.The game features several different stories, told through music, visual eyecatches, and sometimes supplemental material: Alive is the main story of the game, featuring a world where humanity has been wiped out by a virus and people undergoing voluntary Brain Uploading to live on as androids. Knight is based off of the eyecatch for the Chapter V track "Holy Knight", and shows two childhood best friends becoming separated, with one becoming a knight and the other becoming the queen of a rivaling nation, with tragic results. Timeline, composed by the Video Game Orchestra, tells the history of Taiwan and then continues into the future to tell a Green Aesop. L is based off of ICE's "L" series of existing tracks, including "L" and "L2" from Chapter VII, and is about a conflict between the heavens and Earth and two boys who end up caught in the big picture.An arcade Cytus game, Cytus OMEGA, was announced at the Japanese arcade expo JAEPO in February 2015, and location tests were held in July 2015. It went into Vaporware status before being ultimately canceled in 2018.A sequel, Cytus II , was released on January 17, 2018 for iOS and March 7 for Android. It features two new note types, the "flick" note and a longer variation of the hold note, as well as charts where the scanline can change speed. It also has a new story, told more directly through in-universe internet posts.An Updated Re-release of the original game by FlyhighWorks, Cytus α, was released for Nintendo Switch in digital format on April 25, 2019, and in physical format in Japan on the same day with the North American version to follow on May 14 and the European/Australian version to come at a future undetermined date. α includes the option to play with buttons (much like on VOEZ and Deemo on Switch, also Rayark games ported by FHW), an online matchmaking versus feature, an updated visual interface, and new songs including a DJMAX crossover chapter and an Omega chapter that includes songs from the cancelled Cytus OMEGA. Instead of chapters being DLC, each has to be unlocked by fulfilling certain conditions in a prior chapter. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Cytus (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: The game has sync issues on certain devices. As many rhythm game players know, having the song be out of sync with the chart is very, very bad. Fortunately, an update allows players to calibrate timing offsets. For whatever reason, hidden charts with a "swipe across the eyecatch" requirement (both alternate versions of "Slit" and "FREEDOM D↓VE", for example) are a lot more difficult to reach in α than in the original smart-device versions. | |

Rock Me, Amadeus!: The "Symphony" chapter comprises arranged of classical songs, with many of them being rock arranges. "The Blocks We Loved" by KillerBlood is an arrangement of Russian folk song "Korobeiniki", otherwise known as "that Tetris song". "Solar Wind" is an arrangement of Vivaldi's Concerto #2 in G Minor, Op.8, RV 315,"L'Estate"(Summer). "Scherzo" contains bits and pieces of Handel's Sarabande. | |

Earn Your Fun: α starts you with only Chapter 1 and the DJMAX chapter and requires you to unlock the other chapters, unlike the original smart-device version where (as of the end of the million-downloads campaign) all the main chapters, S, and K are available immediately with the rest as DLC. Specifically, the mainline chapters each require you to get 5,000,000 total high score in the previous chapter, while the branch-off chapters require you to clear 8 tracks in the root chapter or achieve a set number of wins in online matchmaking mode. | |

Alternate Continuity | |
| Cytus (Video Game) / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: "Music. The Eternity of Us" is the final song in the chapter and, heartbreakingly, is a non-canon song in which the entire ordeal never happened and the two girls remained friends. "Genesys" from the Million chapter shows Iris and Rosabell working together as detectives to solve a dead person case, specifically that of Deemo. | |

Green Aesop | |
| Cytus (Video Game) / int_56b53152 | comment |
Green Aesop: In 2057 ("Protest"), the government of Taiwan, faced with a an energy crisis coupled with tech corporations' demand for energy, falls back onto nuclear energy rather than alternative sources, resulting in protests across the country. This leads to disaster two years later ("Catastrophe") when a major earthquake destroys the nuclear power plant and causes radioactive material to spread throughout the country, forcing mass evacuations from the capital city of Taipei. Eventually, natural fauna grows back after two centuries of human non-interference and nature is allowed to thrive in the area once again ("Rebirth").note It should be noted that nuclear energy is actually one of the cleanest forms of producing electricity. What happens when a nuclear power plant goes wrong (like in this chapter), however, is a different story. | |

Zero-Effort Boss: "The New World" is very long and has all of one note at the end. Subverted, in that although you just need that one Perfect to get the Million Master rank, it is just as easy to fail by mistiming or missing that note.note Getting a Perfect yields the full 1 million points, but getting a Good will only get you 630,000 points, which is 70,000 points shy of the clear requirement. A Bad will get you 270,000 points, and a Miss will result in a zero score for the entire song. | |

True Final Boss: Chapter R lists "conflict(YM2151 edit)" as the last track in it. The original hidden track of the chapter is unlocked on this chapter's splash screen; said hidden track is the original "conflict". | |

The standard point system, which is based on your note timing and, to an extent, your combo. As there is no Life Meter, your score is used to determine whether you clear or fail a song; you need 700,000 points or better for a clear. | |

Show, Don't Tell: Unlike the other stories, Knight doesn't really have a lot of text to describe what's happening, even in supplemental material; much of the story is shown in eyecatches and through song lyrics and is left to player interpretation. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Cytus (Video Game) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Invoked with the final track, "Music. The Eternity of Us". In contrast to the previous few tracks which build up to an intense fight between Iris and Rosabell with the former killing the latter, it shows the two of them grown up together, still the closest of friends. It's a What If? / Alternate Continuity scenario meant to tell the player "This is the future that they could've had, and it will never happen." | |

As of version 9.1, Chapter L's original charts are still available as hidden charts, by finding the flashing 'L' logo in each song's eyecatch and tapping its location. | |

| Cytus (Video Game) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: "Phubbing" is a criticism of modern smartphone culture, discussing the phenomenon of people constantly being on their smartphones even when they're together with friends and family. Given that the game is primarily played on smart devices like Rayark's other games, it doubles as Self-Deprecation and a potential jab at the player if they're currently playing the game in a social environment. | |

Brutal Bonus Level | |
| Cytus (Video Game) / int_be3e7584 | comment |
Brutal Bonus Level: In its original form, Chapter L was a Brutal Bonus Chapter, with a relatively brutal price tag to boot (9.99 USD; the other DLC packs cost half as much and the base game is only 1.99 USD). All of the original charts are rated 9 on Hard and Easy, have slow scanlines (due to the fact that the tracks are actually quite slow), and each track is at least 4 1/2 minutes long. A patch was later released in which the original charts are replaced with new, easier charts with more reasonable scanline speeds, although the original charts are still available as Secret Levels. | |

Scoring Points | |
| Cytus (Video Game) / int_c64bdacd | comment |
Scoring Points: The standard point system, which is based on your note timing and, to an extent, your combo. As there is no Life Meter, your score is used to determine whether you clear or fail a song; you need 700,000 points or better for a clear. The "TP" system, which was implemented in response to players complaining that the game's Perfect window is too wide. When you get a Perfect, you will get one of two different splashes: a Perfect with a green-and-orange splash, and a Perfect with a black splash; the former gives out more TP (100% of per-note TP) than the latter (70%). A Good will give out 30%, and anything less gives out 0%. TP is not combo-based, so where you make mistakes is irrelevant. | |

Lyrical Dissonance | |

Lyrical Dissonance: Vocaloid original song It’s a Beautiful World, despite the positive song title and colorful song image, the actual lyrics ironically tells about the world is actually not beautiful as wars break out, diseases, famines and other disasters. The figure of a child girl holding a gun behind her back in the song image makes this thing makes sense. | |

Updated Re-release: Cytus Lambda for the Vita. For a single purchase, it includes all Chapters from the get-go, with bonus chapters as free updates, as well as Chapter: Prologue, which at the time of release was Vita-exclusive. Unfortunately, it got the axe along with the PlayStation Mobile service in 2015, meaning Retro, Timeline, and Deemo are not included and the game is no longer available for purchase. Cytus α on Switch. It features a new visual interface, an online multiplayer versus mode, new tracks including from DJMAX and the scrapped Cytus Omega, among other things. Everything other than Chapter 1 and the DJMAX chapter have to be unlocked by playing songs, racking up total high score, or defeating online opponents. | |

Fake Difficulty | |
| Cytus (Video Game) / int_e4e86215 | comment |
Fake Difficulty: The original Hard charts have extremely slow scanlines, making it quite difficult to read the chart. This is because the tracks are actually very slow, each at less than 80 BPM; the scans are already running at double speed. The original Easy charts and the new charts are using quadruple-speed timelines for readability. | |

Downloadable Content: Chapters Retro, Prologue, Timeline, Deemo and Nightkeepers are all separate purchases, at 4.99 USD each. The L chapter notably costs 9.99 instead, double that of the other DLC chapters. The entire package totals up to 36.93 USD, including the initial game purchase. While the Million Download plan was still in progress, this temporarily applied to chapters V through K as well. α averts this; instead, all chapters besides Chapter 1 and DJMAX have to be unlocked by fulfilling specific in-game conditions. It's also notably more expensive than the smartphone versions with all DLC, at 49.99 USD, although it does have DJMAX and Cytus Omega tracks (which are not in the original versions) to balance out the difference. | |
