RESONARK is a series of cross-platform VRChat game Worlds created by septem47, the first being published on May 8th, 2020. This rhythm game features mechanics very similar to SEGA's arcade rhythm game series MaiMai and あおお/A-ZERO's iOS rhythm game series WAVEAT[1]. RESONARK also features notable artists from these games, as well as artists from BMS, beatmaniaIIDX, DanceDanceRevolution and many more.

The PCVR version of RESONARK features a camera system to display and record stylized gameplay, keeping track of play performance on screen as an overlay that overrides the desktop display.

Gameplay

The basic mechanics of RESONARK centre around stereoscopics and gameplay similar to MaiMai but in a 3D space. RESONARK's playfield features six lanes distributed on a hexagon called the "Instrument". The goal is to hit approaching diamond notes when they make contact with the points on the Instrument. Players can earn more points and score higher grades based on how accurately they hit the notes according to the rhythm of the current song. Starting from RESONARK 3: FEST and beyond, some charts will cause the Instrument to rotate, which can add visual complexity to the gameplay. The following controls are explained for VR, while Desktop Mode controls can be found at the bottom of this section.

Note Types

Note Name Icon Description Demonstration
Point PointNote.png This is the standard tap note, represented as a pink diamond. Players only need to tap the note on the corresponding lane with their hands and do not need to physically press any buttons. This input method mostly applies to all other notes other than Clap Notes. TapDemo.gif
Chord ChordNote.png Chords are pairs of notes marked with a white dot on the center of each note. The player should expect to hit no more nor less than two notes at the same time. Chord markings apply to Point, Pluck, Long and Long Pluck notes. MultipleNotesDemo.gif
Pluck PluckNote.png Similar to the tap note, this blue diamond note requires the player to "flick" away from the lane. The lane will briefly turn blue when the player moves away from the lane, triggering the flick note function. FlickDemo.gif
Long LongNote.png This is a yellow diamond note that works similarly to a Point Note, however the player must keep their hand on the note until the end of the yellow trail. LongDemo.gif
Long Pluck LongPluckNote.png Similar to the Long Note, the difference is that the note will have a Pluck at the tail end. There is no chart that has the Pluck note at the start of the Long Pluck, as it would be impossible to hit. LongFlickDemo.gif
Clap ClapNote.png This green hexagon note has the player physically clap their avatar's hands together. If the note is timed correctly, it will trigger a unique sound and extra visuals. ClapDemoResonark.gif

Alternative Controls

There is an alternative method of input for Clap Notes, which are to either use both triggers or both grips of the player's controllers. To change to these alternate controls, the player must set them in the World's right hand menu before starting a song.

Advanced Play Tips

  • For Clap Notes, it is strongly recommended for advanced players to switch to any of these button based controls over the simulated clapping due to the risk of controllers colliding with each other, which may damage them.
  • A tip to trigger the note with less effort is to move to an adjacent lane rather than flicking outwards/inwards of the Instrument, which can save stamina and hit flick notes much easier.

Playing on Desktop

RESONARK's Desktop Mode controls are displayed as an overlay alongside a guide of how the various note types work.

The gameplay of RESONARK on Desktop mode is very similar to playing in VR, however the notes are controlled via keyboard and the playfield does not rotate.

The following controls are with a QWERTY layout keyboard:

The left side, from top to bottom, is controlled by T G B, respectively.

The right side, from top to bottom, is controlled with U J M, respectively.

Claps are triggered with K.

Tap Notes are triggered by tapping the corresponding key. Flick Notes are triggered by pressing the corresponding key and quickly releasing it as soon as the note hits the corresponding point. Long Notes are triggered by tapping and holding the key until the end of the note. Long Pluck Notes are triggered by tapping, holding, and then releasing the key when the Pluck end of the note reaches the Instrument. Clap Notes work exactly like a tap note.

RESONARK Worlds

Below are descriptions of what each RESONARK world brings in each subsequent release, as well as tables for the list of songs and difficulties for each World. All RESONARK worlds share the same user capacity of up to 14/28 (Suggested/Actual Maximum). From the first to third Worlds, all songs are unlocked by default.

RESONARK 4 -ELVES- Part 1: Moonlight

RESONARK 4 (Part 1)'s Thumbnail

World Link

The forth World of RESONARK, published on April 3rd, 2023. It presents itself as a multipart series for what may be the most remarkably ambitious rendition of the series of Worlds. It introduces a massive environment and visual overhaul, a progression system, improved UI, a new stage, and a save system. Secrets can be found and goals can be achieved in order to unlock additional songs. The scoring system has been reworked as well, with the player's in-game performance being shown at the top of their vision containing their combo and projected grade. The tutorial song has been replaced with one made by Tatsh. The trial avatar "Honoka" can be also found in this world.

A recent update (August 8, 2024) has made the game tie in with the lore that can be found in RESONARK 4 -ELVES- Part 2: Raylight, as well as some minor UI adjustments. Saves are NOT cross compatible between Worlds at the moment as of the latest update.

Contains 17 new songs, 11 which are unlockable through various goals and tasks. Songs written in italics are locked songs requiring specific goals to be unlocked.

RESONARK 4 -ELVES- Part 2: Raylight

RESONARK 4 (Part 2)'s Thumbnail

World Link

The fifth World of RESONARK, published on April 26th, 2024. Retaining similar concepts as RESONARK 4 -ELVES- Part 1: Moonlight, this addition to the series introduces a tablet that brings in lore that ties in with the previous RESONARK. Completing tasks and goals unlocks more chapters that expand upon the story, as well as rewarding the player with more songs to play. This World integrates the VRChat Creator Economy; by purchasing the Supporter Role monthly subscription for 600 VRChat Credits, players are given more songs to play. The trial avatar "Cian" can be found in this world as well.

Saves are NOT cross compatible between this World and Part 1: Moonlight at the moment as of the latest update.

The Virtual Parallel World Inspection Tablet, a device that provides both the lore and progression system of both ELVES Worlds.

Contains 17 new songs, 11 which are unlockable through various goals, tasks and the Supporter Role. Songs written in italics are locked songs requiring specific goals to be unlocked. Songs written in underlined italics are premium songs requiring the Supporter Role monthly subscription.

Connectivity Test

There is also the addition of a brand new mode called "Connectivity Test", which is a mode consisting of a selected series of songs the player must go through with set conditions. Functioning similar to beatmaniaIIDX's CLASS mode, the player is given either a BASIC or STRICT route for completion, one providing a much more difficult goal than the other. Completing either route will unlock the subsequent locked course. There are currently five courses to select from, three of which are unlocked at the start.

Trivia

  • RESONARK is also available as as standalone game on Steam as RESONARK X, however it has not been updated to include songs from RESONARK 4: ELVES.
    • A standalone Meta Quest version of the same game is also available, aptly named RESONARK X LITE.
  • The sound design for RESONARK 4 -ELVES- was partially comprised by Tatsh, who was a notable artist within the BEMANI franchise, which was responsible for the DanceDanceRevolution and beatmaniaIIDX series. Songs by NAOKI can also be found scattered across the franchises before his departure from KONAMI in 2014.
  • REDRAVE by Tatsh & NAOKI is a sequel to RED ZONE[2], originating from beatmaniaIIDX 11: IIDX RED.
  • BRAIN POWER by NOMA can be found in several other rhythm games, such as SOUND VOLTEX, Pump It Up, NeonFM and SUPERBEAT XONiC.
  • 0b4k3 has made music for a Hyundai advertisement[3].
