OSU! On an iPhone...

osu! is a rhythm game that has been exploding in popularity. With the release of osu!lazer, the game is soon-to-come to many app stores including those on phones. But, how would this experience actually be like? Especially as a beginner... Well, in today's video, I take you guys on a journey, showing my own experience as a beginner starting osu! on a phone ONLY.
Pens/Styli (yes it is styli + associate links):
Adonit Neo Lite (The one I used, expensive): amzn.to/3SD4MoY
Adonit Mini 4 (Same tech, cheaper): amzn.to/3udaFPG
Note that the replacement tips are $15.99 (damn)
MEKO Universal Stylus 2 in 1 Precision Series (Much cheaper, seems to work comparably, haven't been tested by me): amzn.to/3SF4Epg
Any other disc stylus I cannot guarantee to work, but there is a WAY higher chance for them to work (and work well) compared to active styli.
I will not be including any active styli because I simply cannot guarantee a good experience. You can see my video timestamps for complaints. Just know that technically speaking they do work.
(This is in exception to the S-PEN, and Apple Pencil which work well on their respective platforms.)

nice vid bro this must have taken so long keep it up the production qual is great

[@va1orance]

Thank you!

[@va1orance]

Ironically right after this was posted the new osu!lazer update implemented a new touchscreen detection method which completely nerfs this playstyle (and others such as bonk). We'll see whether this actually goes through however.

Spinners are important too

[@chillbeams]

The tiny buttons on some of the ui looks like a nightmare to navigate on a screen that small

[@va1orance]

Yea, luckily you can scale it up a bit in settings, but it only goes so far.
