Story-related stages should be auto-playable, and let's make them easier to clear. Is there any reason to make it so damn difficult that you can only clear the stage in the video below by using manual control with Elvira in a specific way? Not a single user wants to rack their brain on things like this. And look at the YouTube video comments (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHiAidYzISc). The public sentiment is completely ruined. The person planning this really has lost their touch.
It's truly a talent to ruin public sentiment with *** event planning even when you give away a lot through the Dash Pass. I really think the person planning the events needs to be replaced. And stop releasing tile and rhythm games every now and then; not a single user likes these, so please stop. With so many mobile games pouring out, just thinking about Epic Seven's mini-games/side stories makes me not want to play because it's so frustrating. Like Blue Archive or Monster Guild, just release stories as stories and battle stages as battle stages.




I'm grateful for the Legendary Avatar, really... I haven't had any major complaints until now.
But I've been using a Legendary Avatar I got through synthesis a year and a half ago,
and now when I pull one, I get the exact same one...?? Even though I only have one??
Out of all those countless Legendary Avatars... this just isn't right...




What's your favorite activity to unwind after a long/stressful day? For me, it's probably watching TV.

I drew this quickly and roughly.


The data world, locked for unknown reasons,
is currently the subject of intense research to restore it to its original state PLATiNA :: LAB
Join researchers Iring, Bambi, and Cake here
to face various DBs and uncover the secrets of the world!
[🚨Flash Effect Warning - PLATiNA :: LAB contains many flashing effects that may trigger photosensitive epilepsy or photosensitive seizures🚨]

Hello!
I'm Moonhee Jo from the 3rd Stove Crew 😽
Today, for all of you here, I've brought a game that you'll definitely❗❗
find perfectly suited to your tastes.
It's a combination of cute anime girlsand authentic rhythm gamegameplay.
As someone who really loves both anime girl games and rhythm games, whenever I browse Stove, I find myself searching,
'Is there a game where I can properly enjoy a rhythm game with cute female characters?'
at least once.
After searching for a long time, I finally found a game that hit my radar...
It is PLATiNA :: LAB!
Isn't the shortcut icon just too cute? 💖
PLATiNA :: LAB, which provided 1000% visual and auditory satisfaction!!
Let's start the game review right away ✨
-
The world of data is always unpredictable! Rhythm play with squishy DBs!
🎵 Genre: Rhythm, Action
🎵 Price: 34,900 KRW
🎵 Release Date: 2025.04.11
🎵 Store Link: Shortcut
Perhaps because there are many songs and diverse characters, the installation size was quite heavy compared to other Stove games!
The recommended installation space is 20GB, so please make sure you have enough storage space before installing😊
-
The start of the game! 🎮
As soon as I launched the game, the first thing that caught my eye was the clean and cute UI.
Before diving into the game, we should decide on a nickname for the cute DBs to call us, right? 😎
It seems like this game calls the player 'Decoder'!
I'll start playing with my usual nickname, Moony 🥰
-
When the game turns on, this main screen greets you first!
At first, the DB selection and single-player functions are open.
First, in DB selection, you can choose a cute partner to play with,
and in single-player, you can properly enjoy the rhythm game! 🎵
Shall we take a look at the locked features too?
First, Research Log is content where you can acquire new DBs!
Fortunately, you can unlock it immediately by completing a light mission of playing 3 single-player games.
On the other hand, the Online and Play Data features are still in preparation!
I'm already looking forward to seeing them in future updates😊
-
When you enter the DB selection window, you can meet the default character, Iring.
There were already so many cute DBs by default, but the characters available via DLC were all equally charming!!
As I played the game, I grew more attached to them, and I started thinking, 'Am I going to end up buying the DLC too...?'
You just can't resist cute anime girls, right? 😌
You can play the rhythm game with the DBs you've acquired through the game,
and every time you get a new DB, the selection window changes from black and white to color.
(Personally, I love these collection elements so much... 😋)
If you click on the profile card, you can also check the settings for the DB!!
The phrase 'Forced leave of absence through physical restraint' for Iring is quite impressive
Something seems a bit unusual, doesn't it...? 😂
-
While browsing the DBs, I found a character that really hit my taste.
It's Cake!! 💖
I love the color pink so much, so I was captivated the moment I saw her...
(Thanks to that, she proudly took over the thumbnail for today's review 😎)
Today's goal is acquiring Cake!
The cards for unacquired characters also include how to unlock them, so I could immediately check how to get her.
Since Cake is one of the main characters, I can acquire her just by clearing Research Log Part A.
It doesn't seem as difficult as I thought, right...? 👀
Then now,
let's head out to get Cake! ✨
-
This is the single-player mode screen! 🎵
At first, I saw the DLC-exclusive songs right in the main view, so I was a bit flustered, thinking, 'Huh...? Where are the default songs?'😂
But don't worry!
There were so many songs to enjoy with just the base game that there was absolutely no shortage of content.
First, I thought I should find the settings that fit my hands, so I loosened up with the song at the very front!
And the result was...
It's really because of the unfamiliar key settings and equipment.
Wait, I played on an LG Gram, so it's not my skill, it's the equipment's fault. Key layout is the life of a rhythm game....
I struggled because I wasn't used to the key settings, but the biggest hurdle was definitely the specs issue...
When I played on my LG Gram, the frame drops were more severe than I thought, so it was a bit disappointing throughout the play.
Looking at other reviews, some people occasionally mention frame drops in the game itself... 🤔
However, since the influence of my playing environment cannot be ruled out, I plan to check it again while playing on another PC later!
(As a result of playing on a gaming laptop while recording the video! It turned out to be a Gram spec issue.
It seems it would be a bit difficult to play on a regular laptop ㅜ.ㅜ )
Below are the minimum and recommended specs for the game, so please refer to them if you are considering playing😊
-
Haha... anyway!
I successfully adjusted it to my favorite rhythm game key settings😎
PLATiNA :: LAB adopts the traditional note-falling play style.
I liked that it supports not only 4-line and 6-line choices but also various difficulty levels, allowing you to play according to your preference.
Also, in addition to key settings, I could freely adjust detailed options from polling rate to judgment line height,
and note falling speed!!
If you usually have your own rhythm game settings, I don't think you'll have much trouble adapting.
After finishing the key settings and playing again, I successfully achieved an A rank!
(I'm not bad at rhythm games, I was just unfairly treated earlier...)
After finishing a total of three single-player games like this, the Research Log tab on the main screen is unlocked.
-
In the Research Log, you can acquire new DBs by clearing various missions!
The moment to bring Cake home is getting closer and closer...💖
The first research to proceed with is,
#0-1 Booting Up Part A!
In this chapter, you can acquire a total of three DBs: the cute DBs Bambi, Cake, and Label.
My goal is only Cake...! 😎
I'll start the research quickly to recruit Cake ✨
-
Except for the very first step, 'Clear any song once',
the Research Log gives you 2 missions at each stage!
You don't need to clear both missions; you can move on to the next stage by completing just one of them, so I was able to proceed without any burden 😊
Through the first research, I first recruited the cute glasses-wearing character Bambi!
My goal is still Cake, but isn't Bambi also way cuter than I thought...? 👓💙
-
After acquiring Bambi, the goal approached right in front of me faster than I thought.
That's because the clear reward for the next research is Cake! 💖
When you clear the game, the next research mission and the acquirable DB are displayed at the bottom left of the score window.
Do you see it? 👀
If you clear Strawberry Cake with the Bambi you just recruited,
you can finally recruit today's goal, Cake!
I quickly went and proceeded with the research with Bambi.
-
And finally...!!
Cake acquisition success!! 💖
Pink twin-tails with subtle gradient details,
plus the research lab coat and the sweet cake she's holding just like her name...
Isn't she too cute? 🥹
As soon as I acquired her, I ran to the DB selection window and spent a long time just looking at Cake😂
In the DB selection window, you can also interact with the characters by clicking on them with the mouse!
You can also hear exclusive voice lines for each character, which made their charm stand out even more.
(Cake is the best💖)
-
As you play the game, you can also steadily build up your affinity with the DBs you like!
It is said that you can receive special gifts as your affinity increases.
I'm already looking forward to what kind of gift Cake will prepare for me 🥹
For now, to celebrate acquiring Cake today,
I'm going to go enjoy just one more round of the rhythm game with Cake! 💖
-

Overall Review ⭐
PLATiNA :: LAB was a game that captured both the fun of cute DBs and an authentic rhythm game!
Whenever I browsed Stove, 'Is there a rhythm game with lots of cute anime girls?' I thought,
and I felt like I finally found a game that perfectly suited my taste🥹
The fun of enjoying the rhythm game, as well as the process of unlocking DBs one by one and meeting new characters, was much more enjoyable than I thought!!
In particular, the time I spent proceeding with the research one by one to recruit Cake was the most memorable part of this play 💖
After all... you just can't resist cute anime girls😌
✔️ Those who like authentic rhythm games
✔️ Those who like cute anime girl characters
✔️ Those who like collection elements where you gather characters one by one
If any of these three apply to you, I'm sure you'll be satisfied if you play it at least once!
-
And...
This review was just the Cake recruitment operation😎
In the next Rhythm Game Lab Part 2, I'll return with the journey of unlocking all the DBs in PLATiNA :: LAB!
Will I be able to collect all the DBs, starting with my favorite, Cake...?
Please look forward to the next episode! 💖



It was so hot today that I thought I was going to melt.
Stove Indie members, please don't suffer through the heat and do your best to take care of yourselves with fans or air conditioning.

진짜 아무 이야기입니다.
두명이서 만든 게임 곧 텀블벅을 진행합니다.
제가 모든 아트를 다하고 친구가 프로그래밍하고 뭐 그렇게 만들었습니다.
언젠가는 스팀이나 스토브나 에픽게임즈등에 올라갈 수있길 기대해보지만 벌써 실패할까봐 겁부터 납니다.
첫작이후 두번째 게임을 데모버전까지 다듬었습니다.
졸린데 잠은 안오고 그냥 아무이야기니까 여기다 주저리 주저리 늘어뜨려 봐요.
끝으로 이 글을 보신 모든 분들이 한 해 잘 마무리되고 새해에는 좋은일만 가득하시길 바랍니다.
#아무얘기#스토브인디 #스토브 #인디게임 #STOVE인디 #텀블벅실패하고폐업해도아무도모를꺼임


타임라인과 게시판이 댓글이 호환이 안되는군요
과거에 올라왔던 글을 보고 있으니 참 특이하군요
세르케 왠지 재미있을것 같아서 검색해보니까 2020년 6월에 플래이한 영상이 나오길래 어딘가에 데모가 있을것이라고 보고 여기 저기 찾아봤는데 아무리 찾아도 없어서 이상하다 했었는데
어떻게 우연히 itch.io에 이미지가 검색되서 거길 뒤져서 알게 되었죠
그래서 플래이 해보고 괜찮은데 itch.io에선 전혀 관심을 끌지도 못하고 접근도 힘들어서 혹시나 싶어서 여기에 올려돌라고 부탁했었는데...
뭔가 금방 알수 있었을것 같은데 왠지 긴 길을 돌아온 것 같습니다.

아무 말 이벤트때 이런일이 있었군요
이걸 알았다면 좀 더 빨리 알 수 있었을 텐데 역시 인디 게임은 정보 부족이 가장 큰 장벽인것 같습니다.

겁내지 마세요
물론 겁이 나실 수 있지만 한 걸음 딛어보고 나면 그렇게 무섭지는 않았다는 것을 느낄거에요
파이팅하세요ㅎㅎㅎ 게임 기대하겠습니다

뭐지 영상이 작아서 미처 보지 못했었는데요
잘만드셨잖아요!!!! 갑자기 느껴지는 배신감(?)
잘될거에요 파이팅파이팅

응원 감사합니다. 힘이 좀 나네요. 곧 데모판이 나올 예정인데 재미있으셨으면 좋겠습니다.

ElectroVignette 님 안녕하세요! STOVE인디지기입니다.
세르케가 드디어 본격적으로 출시 준비를 하는군요! 비익스와 GIGDC에서부터 눈여겨보고 있던 터라 많은 기대가 됩니다.
올려주신 영상을 보니 지난 데모버전보다 훨씬 빠르고 화끈해졌네요. 그동안의 노고가 느껴집니다. 고생하셨어요!
열심히 만드신 만큼 좋은 결과 있으시리라 믿습니다. 텀블벅 후원도 꼭 성공하실거에요!
STOVE인디 인큐베이터와 서포터즈 프로그램에 등록하셔서 더 다양한 피드백과 지원을 받아보세요.

세르케로 꼭! 대성하시길 바랍니다. STOVE인디도 잊지 말아주세요!
감사합니다.

감사합니다. 잊지 않을게요
