There are only so many mad ideas 7th Beat Games can dream up, of course – but there is a solution. A level editor was the most requested feature from Rhythm

Doctor’s community of fans, to Azman’s slight terror. “The editor itself is a magnitude more complicated than the actual game engine,” he says. “It’s been more than a year now since we started it.” It has already spawned over 400 levels, allowing players to add rows, beats, visual effects, cutscenes and more. “People do a lot of ideas that I’ve never considered, and I can actually use those ideas in the game itself,” Azman says. “There are some levels that are just so good that we outright pay the level creator to just include it in the game.”
