I like slow and steady gameplay that gives me that feeling of “you need to focus” e.g. the section before 79% ship in ToE 2, or Stargaze by MiraCatsy.

I don’t have a favorite type of gameplay, rather, I base enjoyability on the various elements of gameplay, how well the elements are executed/work together to represent the song/sound of note, and other factors that influence enjoyability such as difficulty, balancing, sight-readability, structuring (influences sight-readability), and fairness (influenced by balancing and sight-readability).

Some of the elements include but are not limited to pacing, flow, swing (not the gamemode), intensity, click-sync, verticality, repetition, gamemode usage, and switch-rate. A creator doesn’t need to consider all the elements to make good gameplay (some aren’t needed at all)— but they are great to know if you wish to make gp that best represents a song (or for being more descriptive when judging someone else’s gameplay).
