In this game, the player takes control of Play-Yan who strolls through the path in the night sky while jumping on magical boxes. As he reaches the set of boxes via balloons, he begins walking on them. Passing though them causes the boxes to open, with the dot in the middle turning into various things depending on the player's timing and the boxes themselves. Jumping off the block with the right timing causes an object to sprout, and a star to grow in the sky. If all of the stars are at their max size at the end of the game, the final box releases a small star which Play-Yan grabs on to.
Perfect!/Ace!?: Play-Yan jumps from the box, spawning either magical flower with a heart blossom, a lollipop, or an umbrella from it.
Early!/Late!?: Play-Yan jumps from the box, but the object comes out only halfway, with a red X over it.
Miss...?: Play-Yan walks over the box, sending out a music note. In Rhythm Tengoku, this does not actually count as a miss on its own. If the player does not jump from a box on the edge of a platform, Play-Yan will grab the ledge, and fall down as the platforms dissapear. If this happens, the game ends with a "Try Again". If the player didn't open enough boxes to fill the sky with stars, the final platform doesn't release anything, leading Play-Yan to jump onto a lone platform with no path to continue, resulting in him falling down.

Supposedly these flowers grow in the footsteps of a mysterious, white creature who prowls the night! Who is he? What does he want? Where did he learn his impeccable sense of rhythm?
The layout of the steps in the middle of the game is randomized.
The objects that appear out of the boxes act as instruments in the song. The heart flowers add drums, the lollipops being snares, and the umbrellas - cymbal accents.
This Rhythm Game is partially inspired by the Play-Yan, a media player that would allow a Game Boy Advance or a Game Boy Micro to play MP3s and videos via an SD card. The character Play-Yan appeared as the main mascot on the selection menu, as well as being playable in a minigame called "JUMP". The sprites for this minigame were used as the basis for the ones in Rhythm Tengoku, which leaves some unused.
