A Man With No Rhythm Plays Rhythm Doctor 

This video is not gonna go the way most folks think it is and I hope yous are pleasantly surprised haha. The game itself is still in early access but for what's here it's really good. There's still more songs I've yet to unlock, but I might wait till full release to revisit it

RT being the Rhythm Doctor is the reason all those characters are in Rhythm HEAVEN

how do they classify a patient as a 'boss'? do they just locate the patient that is the closest to dying and tell the doctor hes the hard level?

Thanks for playing RT, you sure have built some rhythm!

>Sees Dan start to close his eyes and use audio cues. HES STARTING TO BELIEVE.

If I was in cardiac arrest and Rt was the attending doctor, I'd call for another one

With the amount of rhythm RT has improved on since playing Rhythm Heaven, I can definitely say I have full confidence that RT can perform an operation on someone by using the “Wubba Dubba Dubba That True?” technique and make it out alive

It's funny how the first boss feels a lot harder than it actually is because it only messes with you visually, it never deviates from the basic rhythm.

Rhythm Doctor isn't the story about how Daniel became a doctor using rhythm, it's the story about how he finally got cured of his rhythm disease. A true miracle to behold.

Either RT has massively improved his rhythm skills, or they just come out in a life or death situation.

I like how when LegoLary first shows up he's not subscribed and doubting, but when he's back he's subscribed and believing. That's what we call character development.

It's certainly a bold choice to go from a heartfelt song about the hardships of working in the medical industry to Rhythm Dogtor

I like how if you miss Nicole’s swing beat, she just drenches the poor delivery dude with scalding coffee

It’s interesting to see Dan go from visual cues to audial cues in the second boss

This is one of my all-time favorite games; unfortunately, this rhythm doctor is sending most of his patients to rhythm heaven-

Seeing the game force Dan to close his eyes and not rely on visual cues was so cool. This game seems great for teaching people how to feel the beat!

The LOW HEALTH indicator in boss 1 is a *genius* use of a safety net to save you for a couple of bars as the blinking matches the beat. It's so good!

12:34 Didn't notice that the farmer turns into a zombie if you muck up the input badly enough. Also like how they have a patient infected with a WiFi disrupting virus, so they leave them in the care of the intern connected to the hospital's systems by WiFi, rather than having the on-premises doctors take care of it.

Watching RT going from relying on visual cues in Rhythm Heaven to full embracing rhythm and counting beats in this game makes the inner band kid in me so happy

Fun fact, finding a hard level with really good music in a rhythm game is THE BEST way to get better at said game

Watching dan improve at rhythm games is like watching your parents successfully use technology right

RT's training from rhythm heaven to become a rhythm doctor is inspiring

I do like how the first few stages are like, "Alright, so here's the basic mechanics. Here's what to do when a beat is skipped. NOW HERE'S A BOSS STAGE, RELY ON YOUR INTERNAL METRONOME, BITCH."

Both of my parents are nurses. When I was listening to Dr Paige’s song, it just hit me in the feels. That’s my parents’ lives and jobs and with the NHS crisis I do worry about them, especially my mum (my dad thankfully retired last October). I remember having to miss many birthdays and Christmases because they were working, and thankfully they were able to be present for most of my life.

I'd say it's easier to play this game with your eyes closed, but then you lose out on all the cute pixel art

That window movement level is easily one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while

That part where the game was minimised and moving around the screen is AWESOME. Such a genius idea! I bet this could be super effective in a horror game. Maybe something along the lines of Inscryption

It’s actually so sick that they give you an option to hide the spider!! I have arachnophobia, and though not sure if a pixelated spider would bother me personally, I don’t have to take that chance! Super cool on the dev’s part

So this is why medical bills are so damn expensive. They’ve gotta hire whole ass game devs to operate on you

Well, RT's gonna do terribly on this. It's basically purely Monkey Watch.

i don't know how the hell they managed to use windowed mode like that but that's the coolest shit i've ever seen and was insanely creative

its insane how they made a one key rhythm game so interesting imo, the boss song of the first act is where the concept really shines

I really like how they incorporated the spider warning! That’s cool that they let you opt out in the moment. I might pick this up once it’s fully released

I like that the low-health warning kinda helps you by being a new beat you can sync to.

8:28 I’m so genuinely impressed by the game devs adding the “hide the spider” option ❤

I had no clue games could move their windows around like that. Surprised it isn't used more often.

Man with no Rhythm gains a lot of Rhythm playing Rhythm Doctor. I'm proud of you as you are truly learning.

All I could think was “you should intentionally break the Politician’s heart” and I didn’t expect such animosity to be inspired in me from a lovely rhythm game

I think my favorite was the coffee one hearing the "ready, get, set, go" on beat and changing the rhythm at the same time was so satisfying

All jokes aside, it’s great to see how much Dan has actually improved on his skills with rhythm games.

RT is the proof that these rhythm games can really help someone improve their abilities in terms of rhythm

Fun fact: the achievement for getting S+ on bomb sniffing pomeranian is called "No Items, Final Destination"

Rhythm Heaven stakes: if you don’t do the rhythm game you won’t play golf correctly!! Rhythm Doctor stakes: if you don’t do the rhythm game correctly they *die*

This is probably the only game where you can't tell if the video is stuttering, or it's part of the game

Man rt's not gonna need a rhythm doctor after this *He's gonna need the entire bloody hospital*

Daniel's reaction to the window getting small is amazing. 19:42 I really hope he finishes the game and customize the arm!

RT has come so far getting A+ and S+ straight off the bat

Do you know what I appreciate? The option not to see the spider. Arachnophobia tends to get played off as a joke, but it is a legitimate phobia that is personally quite debilitating. It was nice to see it taken a bit more seriously and treated as a genuine phobia people might not want to interact with in their game.

I'm only 21:00 in and the creativity of this game is insane, and quite honestly if this is possible I'm surprised there aren't more games out there that push the limitations of just what you can do with stuff like this..

Its a shame there's not more comments praising the way this game was made. With a background in music this game does a lot of neat tricks to promote 'feeling' the rhythm as the way to beat it instead of watching. Notice how many times Dan does better when he starts moving more and more of his body. Yeah, when there's many parts the visual cues become more important, but the game really tries to reinforce pattern recognition and cleverly places all the hits accept the 'boosted' ones on down beats or up beats even if it sounds like its much more off-rhythm. This game is so cleverly made and I thinks its clear to see in Dan's gameplay just how well it actually works. He improves in some areas so quickly and I bet if he went back to that other rhythm game (can't remember the name) he would do a lot better this time around.

Next Rhythm game RT plays should be titled "A Man With a Little Rhythm Plays X" in light of his newfound improvement

You know RT's come pretty far I'd even say he's become A Man With Some Rhythm

I sent that “One Shift More” song to my sister who’s a doctor. Needless to say she shared that sentiment.

Listening to this wihout any visuals is just the chillest music imaginable interspersed with occasional groans of angony and sudden elation 😂

SO HAPPY TO SEE HIM PLAYING ONE OF MY FAVORITE RHYTHM GAMES

Gotta love Rhythm Doctor, I hope there's a part 2 for the Night Stages. I really love "Wish I could write more and care less" that's probably my favourite one here.

the act 2 boss music cutting out if you kill the patient is perfect, both because it's a different type of challenge due to your inability to practice the whole song at once but mostly because being able to hear more of such a banger is such a wonderful reward for improvement

6:33 The low health beep is kind of a bop ngl

I can't believe it. Dan's brute forced his way through so may rhythm games that he's actually gained a sense of rhythm

As someone with SVT, this is exactly how it's treated at the hospital, RT would make a great heart doctor

GOD DAMN FINALLY! Seeing you finally move and groove to the music in the webcam is the biggest reason you're doing way better. There is a reason a lot of musicians tap their feet and or bob their heads, it's not just because they like the music but because it's a great way to keep time and way easier to do so than just strictly focusing like you did in the rhym heaven playthroughs.

The best joke in this entire game is with Richard Hugh- if using the shortening of his name, he's Dick Hugh- which, written on medical documentation, would be Hugh, Dick- Huge Dick Subtle but crude and accurate- I love this!!

I hope RT plays more rhythm games. If he ever does a long/multi-stream play of one, he should definitely do Hi-Fi Rush.

I love Rt's persistence and will to improve. Most RU-vidrs give up in sake of just getting more content by switching to an easier mode or give up on the game in general. It's nice to see this.

As someone in music school, who has to clap crazy complicated rhythms for my music theory class, this is making me feel REALLY good

"Wasn't your party completely okay with this whole Rhythm Doctor initiative?" "We're starting a new initiative. Nano machines, son!"

I’m amazed that a rhythm game was able to make me tear up just from the storytelling within the levels. Also great job RT! Average Man has been promoted to Above-Average Man

Moving the window like that is one of the coolest things I've ever seen a game do!

i would LOVE to see more rhythm doctor. it's such an amazing rhythm game, and it's a rarer one where every single song is a banger

"If you're drinking that much caffeine to function, there might be something deeper going on" Undiagnosed ADHD moment. DAMN. How did they do those window effects?! I'm deeply impressed.

After watching his trombone champ gameplay, I am confident that the title is a lie. that bastard has got rhythm to spare

I have faith that RT will eventually learn how to get rhythm

As a person with svt I can confirm that sick beatz play whenever I have a palpitation

This game actually looks insanely fun, coming from someone who doesn’t usually like rhythm games. The sound design and level design look and soound gorgeous, I’m probably going to download it to try in my free time. It also really looks like you’re having such a fun time playing it RT! Its maybe not the way there usually go but it’s enjoyable nonetheless!

Welcome to meta programming 21:00 . It's wild and mostly used for horror games, happy to see it in a non-horror one

I usually don't like rhythm games, but this one's got surprisingly decent music and art.

not only is this an awesome rhythm game with brilliant music but it also has a really important message for the real world we should definitely support games like this especially when they he remind us of how much pressure doctors are under at the moment specially in the NHS. clapping is not enough

Now play Act 5. You must.

Since nobody’s said it yet, Dan is looking awfully pretty. What a handsome dad.

I'm so proud of Dan for graduating from rhythm medical school!

This is by far one of the most unique rhythm games that I’ve seen so far. The fucking minimize song was INSANE.

So I am a percussionist so I've got to be really good at rhythm right. So it's really interesting to watch you play, and see like you relying heavily at visual cues. Because for me the visual cues mess me up most of the time and I need to listen to the auditory ones. It was really fun to watch you play this, I love seeing people play rhythm games lol.

The fact that RT closes his Eyes to actually feel the Rythm through his Body makes me as a Musician happy, tells me he's learning not to just use visual queues given but actually listen to the structure of the Song.

So you're saying that you don't have rhythm But listen at what you're doing right there With that stamp and a book you've got a real nice hook Sounds to me like you've got rhythm to spare I have no idea what your talking about I've got as much rhythm as that chair What happened to me was a tragedy But I don't have to be a millionaire Look I got a sweet deal going on here I've got all the books that I can read All these sweet old ladies and this carpet from the 80's What more could a librarian need? Besides I ain't got rhythm No I ain't got rhythm Said I ain't got rhythm I ain't got rhythm You're kidding me right, you're, you're kidding me Don't you see what you were doing right then That's a wicked groove you were starting to move Mr., you got rhythm times 10 I think perhaps that your not listening I find it tedious to repeat It's no big crime I just can't keep time I'm telling you I lost the beat I don't need my face on t-shirts Or hit a power-chord guitar They were screaming my name I guess it's a shame But I don't need to be a rock star Besides I ain't got rhythm No I ain't got rhythm Said I ain't got rhythm I ain't got rhythm I ain't got rhythm Sounds like rhythm to me No I ain't got rhythm Seems like they all agree Said I ain't got rhythm I aint got rhythm But your laying down some funky syncopation I ain't got rhythm But you got that beat No I ain't got rhythm Look at them, their stomping their feet Said I ain't got rhythm I ain't got rhythm It's time for you to rock a brand new generation Gonna rock a brand new generation Cause I ain't got rhythm Would you just go join the band Hey! Look at me! Hey I got rhythm!

Rt has gotten so used to rhythm games that he doesn't even need rhythm anymore, now he's doing it purely in instinct.

I have never, in all my time on RU-vid, stopped a video in the middle, so I could go buy the game and play it for myself. This game is just that good.

Tip i discovered while playing: sometimes for SVT it's easier to count 1-2-3-4 and press the button on 3. It's harder to maintain rhythm with just two notes per "measure"

YESSSSSS so happy you played this, rhythm doctor is amazing and I really hope it gets more recognition

I did not expect this! The visuals really helped Dan to actually be pretty good. I have the same problem, I think this is the Rhytm game for me! Playing Rhythm with the eyes

This is actually so many steps above Dan's attempts at rhythm heaven Im impressed

i've rewatched this so many times and yet it JUST hit me... cole brew... 'cold brew'... nicole ting... 'nicotine'.........

RT truly has rhythm from playing all those rhythm heaven. Who knows, maybe we can eventually see him sing the ABCs without being offkey.

It makes me giddy to see how proud of himself RT is. Like hell yeah man (from what i watched on stream) you rocked this game, I'd trust you as a doctor :^) Very happy to see him play Rhythm Doctor, it's one of my favourites

Im not gonna lie The song at 27:17 was so good i actually started tearing up

RT is improving! All the visual noise is forcing him to play to the song instead of the visuals. Heck, he starts head banging- you know he is starting to get the rhythm. After this experience, he should give monkey watch another try and see just how much easier it is for him. I bet he'll be surprised. XD

Dan you know remote surgery is a thing right? Still in its infancy but its actually really helpful as it allows specialists to operate on patients that cant be taken to them.

Seems like you're getting better at this, so quick tip if you haven't heard of this yet. If there's ever a situation in which you need to perform chest compressions on someone, think of the song "Staying Alive" and compress to the beat. Rhythm can save lives, literally. Edit: Turns out there are quite a few songs that work for CPR, so, thanks replies! Good to be as knowledgeable about as many life-saving tips as possible.

I just imagine Larry from pokémon telling you to stop making things more difficult

It’s actually kind of scary how much RT improved in such a short time. At the beginning, he could barely keep up a basic beat, but by halfway through he was keeping rhythm better than some people in my high school orchestra, even with the game flying across the screen. (Yes, some people in my orchestra aren’t the greatest - the group would probably improve noticeably if the director assigned this game as homework.)

So this may be a reach, but I can't help but wonder if the visuals of detecting a heart beat via a string was inspired by this one chinese legend of a male doctor who wasn't allowed to see the patient (because she was the emperor's wife), but he was skilled enough to detect her pulse from a string attached to her arm, therefore still being able to diagnose her illness without seeing her directly. Only reason I mention this is because the game's voicing is in mandarin chinese (all the counting is in chinese), which offers the possibility that the creators may know of this story
