'''Lockstep (ウラオモテ ura omote "backward face")''' is the twenty-seventh game in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''. In this game, you must tap to keep the beat and then make transitions to the offbeats. If you get a perfect, you'll earn the song for Lockstep. Its sequel, [[Lockstep 2]], is unlocked later on.
The arrange version, [[Lockstep 2]], appears in the eighth stage of ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''.

In this game, the player plays the [[Stepswitchers|Stepswitcher]] in the center of the screen. The Stepswitchers will first begin stepping in beat after the clock signal in the background reaches its fourth tick.

Lockstep
This one's all about hitting the beat, flipping it, and then nailing the backbeat. Experience both sides of the rhythm!
In this game, the player plays as a Stepswitcher in the center of the screen. The Stepswitchers begin stepping in beat after the cowbell clicks. The player must step consistently in this same beat until one of the Stepswitchers signals to step in offbeat to the rhythm. The rhythm will keep switching on and offbeat during the game when signaled.
To confuse the player, the screen will zoom out, showing many more Stepswitchers. When zoomed out completely, the Stepswitchers form the image of what appears to be Johann Sebastian Bach, a famous German composer of the 1700's, although the real person lacked the curly mustache seen in the game.
Early!/Late!?: The player marches slightly off, resulting in a "tick" sound. In Rhythm Heaven only, this does not cause the player to fail a Perfect Campaign.
Miss...?: The player steps on the wrong beat (or not at all) and gets smacked by the Stepswitcher next to them.

On the beat? You're a little off. Offbeat? More like just plain "off." Sloppy work on the transitions.

Hm... Good enough... I don't know... I guess that was all right.

Eh. Passable.

It's creepy the way the painting's eyes seem to follow you wherever you go, but it's even creepier when you mess up your rhythm and the painting laughs at you. Also, it's a bit embarrassing.
In Rhythm Heaven, the game stops tracking the player's performance during the last ten steps, meaning it does not impact the player's score or Perfect Campaign. This is no longer true in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, however.
