''Rhythm Heaven'''s development "wasn't easy" for the staff. Osawa didn't like the idea of using buttons, so he considered a control mechanic that involved the Touch Screen. The ability to touch the edge of the Touch Screen was considered, but was determined to be too difficult. | ''Rhythm Heaven'''s development "wasn't easy" for the staff.

Tsunku really liked the idea of the Flick action regardless of the long time to adapt.

==Controls== | ==Controls== | ||
The controls for ''Rhythm Heaven'', just like every other game in the series, are very basic. There are four main mechanics used, both for all of the mini games available to play and just getting around the game itself. These controls are tapping, holding, sliding and flicking, in addition to the L/R buttons that are used in exclusively [[Rockers 2]]. The start button is used to pause during a mini game. | The controls for ''Rhythm Heaven'', just like every other game in the series, are very basic.
