Pump It Up Rise (Steam)

Early Access version now available: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2756930/PUMP_IT_UP_RISE/

Early Access price by region, including a 10% discount:

First impressions I have with this game are that 1. The offset is currently terrible. I hope this gets fixed within a week, because there's some notes that I feel like I should've hit.

And the one really annoying quirk? When you miss a note, the music muffles for a second. I don't know if they were trying to make it look like it's giving feedback, but it's very distracting, and last time I checked, Pump does not have keysounds. There's no way to disable the note miss muffle anywhere, in this current build. X_X

Update: I played a little more, and I kinda don't see the purpose of Warm Up mode; I thought that Division was going to be the game's online mode, but it doesn't look that way?

Division is basically this game's version of Freestyle from DJMAX Respect, where it will save your clears/FCs. This is also where you will gain EXP more easily.

I'm hoping that they're gonna add a mission mode, or a proper online mode. Maybe a gallery mode to look at concept art/BGAs.

Basically, I want this game to be like Respect, but Pump It Up. XD

Forgot to share it here but we got a first QoL update on release week and we'll get our first content update on the 29th KST, which also brings some improvements to the game.

0.1.2 patch notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2756930/view/506208679022821387

in summary:
1. Added Option to Toggle Miss Music Effect, defaults to OFF
2. Added Tooltips for Note Output Time / Judgement Time settings
3. Unlock Requirement Display for Level-Locked Songs
4. Expanded Note Output Time Range
5. Adjusted EXP Gain Structure in Warm-Up Station (Playing in Warm Up now gives the same EXP to level up as Division station, but it doesn't unlock plates or BGAs)

Rise will leave EA in January 2026!



I'm taking this as a good sign that Andamiro will take their time to make this game the best it can possibly be; they've already done a really great job addressing the nitpicks we've had so far (the sync, the lowpass filter now being off by default, etc.) If EA is taking this long, there's a good chance they're gonna add a ton more content/modes by January!
