'''osu!''' is a '''free-to-win''' online rhythm game, Originally released for [https://osu.ppy.sh/p/download Windows] in 2007, the game has also been ported to [http://osuosx.tumblr.com/ macOSmac OS], [https://itunes.apple.com/fr/app/osu-stream/id436952197?mt=8 iOS], [https://itdelatrisu.github.io/opsu/ Android], and [http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/osu-wp/83be2e91-48ca-4cfe-9a0d-851b01e62d42 Windows Phone].'''osu!''' gameplay game play is based on a variety of popular commercial rhythm games. While keeping some authentic elements, osu! adds huge customisation customization via skins/beatmapsbeat maps/storyboardingstory boarding, online rankings, multiplayer and boasts a community with '''over 500,000 active users!''' Play the way you want to play, with your own music, and share your creations with others.osu! is written in [[C#]] on the [[.NET Framework]] and the community includes over 11.97 million registered users and 7.99 billion ranked plays. == Gameplay == The player chooses a song and a difficulty from a list of downloaded "beatmaps". As the song plays, the player must click (or use the alternative keys Z and X, which are changeable in the options) on different hit-elements (hit circles, sliders, and spinners) in time with the rhythm of the song in order to earn points. The use of a graphics tablet in combination with a keyboard is common in osu! among more serious players, although most players do use a mouse. ===Difficulties===There are five default difficulties in game: ''Easy'', ''Normal'', ''Hard'', ''Insane'', and ''Expert'' (commonly known as ''Another'' or ''Extra''). Beyond this, "Marathon" difficulty is reserved for beatmaps which are longer than 5 minutes, also, players can create their own difficulties. Content creators may choose to name their difficulties to anything outside of the standard naming conventions, as long as their names imply their appropriate difficulties. ===Objective===The main objective of osu! is to hit, complete, and clear enough hit circles, sliders, and spinners to keep the health bar, which drains at a steady rate throughout the game, above 0 until the beatmap is over. 100’s, 50’s, and misses will also lower your health bar. More experienced players will often strive for a more specific and difficult goal, like improving their high score or grade on a particular beatmap, usually by attempting to time their hits better and avoid as many misplays as possible to increase combo multipliers, often with mods applied as well.[[File:Hit circle.png|thumb|left|A hit circle as it appears in the ''osu!'' editor.]] ===Elements===The elements of osu! are hit circles, sliders, and spinners. Hit circles, also known as notes, are a common object on nearly every beatmap. When a hit circle appears, a ring, called the approach circle, will appear around it and begin to shrink. In order to score points from a hit circle, players must place their cursor over the circle and click the hit button as the approach circle touches the edge of the hit circle. Sliders appear as two hit circles with a solid path, called a slider track, between them. As with hit circles, an approach circle appears at the beginning of a slider track, which must be clicked when the approach circle touches its edge. Unlike hit circles, however, after the start of a slider has been hit, a ball, called the slider ball, will begin to roll along the slider track, and players must continue to hold down the hit button and keep their cursor hovered over or near the slider ball until it has reached the end of the slider. Sometimes a slider end will have an arrow, called the reverse arrow, which means the player will be required to follow the slider ball back to its starting point. A spinner is a large circle that takes up most of the play field when it appears. A ring like the approach circle of hit circles and sliders will also appear and begin to close on the spinner's center. Players must hold down the hit button and spin their cursor around the center of the spinner. As players continue to spin, the spinner gauge at either side of the screen begins to fill, and once it has been filled, the player will be notified that the spinner has been cleared. Continued spins after this and until the ring reaches the spinner's center will award bonus points. == Mods == Players may choose to use mods in osu! to make gameplay easier, harder or even funnier.  === Difficulty Reduction Mods === '''Easy (EZ)''' [[File:Osu! ez mod.png|thumb|left]]Score Multiplier: 0.50x* Two extra lives* Larger hit circles* Slower approach rate  '''No Fail (NF)''' [[File:Osu! nf mod.png|thumb|left]]Score Multiplier: 0.50x* You can not fail the map* Must score in order for score to be processed.    '''Half Time (HT)''' [[File:Osu! ht mod.png|thumb|left]]Score Multiplier: 0.30x (osu!, osu!taiko, osu!catch), 0.50x (osu!mania) * BPM decreased by 25%* Length of beatmap increased by 33%    === Difficulty Increase Mods === '''Hard Rock (HR)''' [[File:HR_mod_osu.png|thumb|left]]Score Multiplier: 1.06x (osu!standard, osu!taiko), 1.12x (osu!catch), 1.00x (osu!mania; unranked)* Objects flipped over the x-axis* Raises all difficulty settings by 40%* Raises circle size by 30% (smaller hit circles)  '''Sudden Death (SD)''' [[File:SD.png|thumb|left]]Score Multiplier: 1.00x* Miss a note and you fail* You will usually get an S on this map if completed    '''Perfect (PF)''' [[File:Osu_PF.png|thumb|left]]Score Multiplier: 1.00x* Make a single mistake and fail* SS or quit* Mod will automatically restart the beatmap when a mistake is made  '''Double Time (DT)''' [[File:Osu_DT.png|thumb|left]]Score Multiplier: 1.12x (osu!standard, osu!taiko) , 1.06x (osu!catch), 1.00x (osu!mania; unranked)* BPM increased to 150%* Song length reduced by 33%* Increases AR, OD, and HP by a small amount  '''Nightcore (NC)''' [[File:Osu_NC.png|thumb|left]]Score Multiplier: 1.12x (osu!standard, osu!taiko) , 1.06x (osu!catch), 1.00x (osu!mania; unranked)* Same as DT, just turns the song into a Nightcore* uguuuuuuuu    '''Hidden (HD)''' [[File:Hidden.png|thumb|left]]Score multiplier: 1.06 (osu!,Taiko,CtB) , 1.00 (osu!mania)* In osu!std & osu!catch: Play with no approach circles and fading notes for a slight score advantage* In osu!taiko & osu!mania The notes fade out before you hit them!* Restricts your view but can help you to aim faster* Gives you silver variant if you get S or SS on play* you need a brain  '''Flashlight (FL)''' [[File:Osu_FL.png|thumb|left]]Score Multiplier: 1.12x (osu!standard, osu!taiko, osu!catch), 1.00x (osu!mania; unranked)* Restricts your area of view* Gives you silver variant if you get S or SS on play    '''Fade In (FI)''' [[File:Osu_FI.png|thumb|left]]Score Multiplier: 1.00x (osu!mania only; unranked)* Causes notes to fade in as they come to judgement bar* Unranked play === Special Mods ===  '''Relax (RL)''' [[File:Osu_RL.png|thumb|left]]Score Multiplier: 0.00x (osu!standard, osu!taiko, osu!catch; unranked)* You do not need to click* Accuracy still matters    '''Autopilot (AP)''' [[File:Osu_AP.png|thumb|left]]Score Multiplier: 0.00x (osu!standard only; unranked)* You do not need to aim* Click to the beat    '''Spun Out (SO)''' [[File:Osu_SO.png|thumb|left]]Score Multiplier: 0.90x (osu!standard only)* Spinners are automatically coompleted* 286 spins per minute    '''Auto (AT)''' [[File:Osu_AT.png|thumb|left]]Score Multiplier: 1.00x (unranked)* Beatmap is completed for you* Most are perfect unless messed up by slider    '''Cinema (CM)''' [[File:Osu_CM.png|thumb|left]]Score Multiplier: 1.00x (unranked)* Shows background and storyboard* No game elements    '''Co-Op''' [[File:Osu_COOP.png|thumb|left]]Score Multiplier: 0.70x ~ 1.00x (osu!mania only; unranked)* Double amount of keys* Play with another player    '''Random (RD)''' [[File:Osu_RD.png|thumb|left]]Score Multiplier: 1.00x (osu!mania only; unranked)* Notes shuffled around* Does not affect timeline    '''ScoreV2''' [[File:Osu_SV2.png|thumb|left]]Score Multiplier: 1.00x (unranked)* Future scoring system*Scales all elements to hard limit of 1,000,000    '''Target Practice (TP)''' [[File:Osu_TP.png|thumb|left]]Score Multiplier: 1.00x (unranked, osu!standard only)* Elements are changed to targets* Fail if a target is missed == Game Modes == ===osu!
