The trailer is not joking, you can torment yourself by playing on a dance pad. This is free, you could be doing this right now.

I have been alpha testing this for a while, and I can say that this is one of the most satisfying music games I have played in a while, at least in terms of how the moment to moment mechanics work. You can tell the custom engine was worth it when you're able to feel every single note you play.

This thread was already crazy from the word go, finding out there's a previously undocumented StepManiaX location hiding in all of the obviously pirated games was just the cherry on top. Now I can sleep knowing six years of personal expression is flanked by the most AI vinyl drape imaginable.

absolutely unhinged vibes at the new soft play place near us join me for a thread

This was my first time seeing Total Nuclear Annihilation in action, and I can already tell I'm going to struggle to get even one reactor down at Southern Fried Gaming Expo. Who cares when it sounds this good.

If you are finding us from @gamesdonequick.com, hello! Shoutouts to the absolute insane showcase of @dcellgames.com's UNBEATABLE by @punchystream.bsky.social, and the amazing speedrun of @scottdanesi.bsky.social's Total Nuclear Annihilation by Ryan McSquid!! Check out their tracks in #StepManiaX!

I made this as a throwaway gag for my brother in law's birthday, as he really doesn't like melted cheese, specifically cheese that's like Velveeta. I think this might be one of the most tangibly unsettling things I have ever made. If art is supposed to make you feel things, this feels the most.

I have been alpha testing this for a while now, and I can say you absolutely need to try this when it’s available. Every song feels fresh and new, and it’s one of the most fun games to be bad at.

Beat Weaver - DEMO OUT NOW@beatweaver.echolox.com

Today we celebrate another special #StepManiaX release for our friends in Japan in celebration of SMX being at @evo.gg Japan 2026! 3 new songs are available, featuring new music from Naoki Maeda, PaperKitty, and a highly requested @kyleaward.bsky.social track remastered for SMX! Out now worldwide!

they still let me make the video after I sent them a GIF of Quaver doing the default fortnite dance, dev team of the year

And now for a very special #StepManiaX PSA in collaboration with our friends at @dcellgames.com

Can’t believe @icedragon.io, sponge, and I just pulled off a tournament around the never played DDR X Team Battle mode, only to then pivot into a never played Ultramix 4 Quads grand finals. We’ll have more footage later, but congrats to everyone who participated, and their fantastic posters.

I have been playing this Apple Arcade game called "Puffies" over the past few weeks. It's a really good "fidget" game, in the sense that it keeps you engaged without being too demanding. I reported a minor bug and the founder responded to me personally on a weekend. I appreciate that.

get in the skyline, me and @solidangles.bsky.social are going to Twinstar

StepManiaX@stepmaniax.com

#StepManiaX Update #60 is here, bringing more FREE tracks to SMX! Tracks from Monstercat's artists are on full blast, with THIRST & @nuphory.com bringing a hypertrance-phonk hybrid, Foxela & Britt Lari's poppy vibe, KOVEN & @aeonmode.bsky.social 's drum & bass, and a classic from DMI! Out now!

All this new graphics card talk, and no one has mentioned the only benchmark that matters: McNuggetBench Some previous scores: GTX 1070 8 GB: 30 hours RTX 2060 6 GB: 21 hours RTX 4070 Super: 4.5 hours Apple M4 Max GPU: 3.7 hours RTX 4090: 2 Hours

Man this was a cool one to work on, if only because it's coming from someone who is open about how and why they make the creative decisions they do. I had zero good ideas for how to make this until I discovered its original background as "When The Wolves Sing".

When The Sun Goes Down by Ken Blast is now on @stepmaniax.com! ☀️🐺 The team put a lot of love into the video and chart, so please enjoy my early eurobeat debut in a whole new light on StepManiaX! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hVL... (Much ❤️ to @jimmytork.nl for pinging me with the news, also!)

Disclaimer: this is being used as a selectively applied stylization on an original character design. The style is basically the prompt you would come up with if you were trying to make the most shallow characterization of Sound Voltex's art direction. It works shockingly well for subtle details.

I'm not cool enough for streaming services, but according to me roughly eyeballing play count and Date Added in iTunes, my most listened thing for this year was the Sonic Frontiers soundtrack.

It wasn't ever seriously considered and I mostly made it for my own SMX editing fun, but I still have a soft spot for the totally original do not steal jacket I made for Night in Motion.
