The game offers a buyable service called osu!supporter, which grants extra features to the user. The game can be played using various peripherals: the most common setup is a graphics tablet or computer mouse to control cursor movement, paired with a keyboard or a mini keyboard with only two keys, while the game's auto function (where the game itself plays the beatmap as accurate as possible) uses only the mouse to play osu!standard beatmaps, and only the keyboard for osu!taiko, osu!catch, and osu!mania beatmaps. Each beatmap is accompanied by music and a background. The beatmap is then played with accompanying music, simulating a sense of rhythm as the player interacts with the objects to the beat of the music. Mania beatmaps consist of keys (depicted as a small bar) and holds. Catch beatmaps have fruits and spinners, which are arranged in a horizontally falling manner. Taiko beatmaps have drumbeats and spinners. These items are collectively known as 'hit objects' or 'circles', and are arranged in different positions on the screen (except for the spinner) at different points of time during a song. The goal of the game is for the player to click on these items in time to the music. In osu!standard, beatmaps consist of three items – hit circles, sliders, and spinners.

Įach mode offers a variety of 'beatmaps', which are game levels that are played to songs of different lengths, ranging from 'TV sized' anime openings to 'marathons' surpassing 7 minutes. The original osu!standard mode remains the most popular to date and as of March 2022, the game has over 19.3 million monthly active users according to the game's global country leaderboards. See the LICENSE file for the text of this license.There are four official game modes: 'osu!' (called 'osu!standard'), 'osu!taiko', 'osu!catch', and 'osu!mania'.

To use DuRBO, you will need to use or at least have one of the following services (Dropbox, Drive, Box) and have your osu! distribution in the folder you specify for the songs to go into (if you choose for the recipe to download to Apps/osu/songs have osu! installed to Apps/osu). DuRBO will - when the DuRBO page is loaded - generate an xml document of the current ranked beatmaps allowing IFTTT to check something and download beatmaps straight to your game. The reason why you have to put in that much effort is because beatmaps for osu! do not have any sort of feed IFTTT can check for updates.ĭuRBO seeks to change that by acting as a middleman for osu! and IFTTT.

You can go and look through beatmaps and pick the ones that look good, but why put in that much effort? What if instead you could just have IFTTT do the work for you, and download new, top ranked beatmaps straight to the game? Osu! is a very fun game, however to keep playing you want to download beatmaps.
