==Development==
''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.

The Flick action took the staff a "little getting used to" as they had to make it feel "fair" to the player until they realwased that if flicking was combined with the music it would give the players a "good sense of timing". The Flick action took them about "two to three months" to research and "six months" to eventually adapt the control into ''Rhythm Heaven''.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20090701104808/http://www.rhythmheaven.com/iwata3.html</ref>

Tsunku really liked the idea of the Flick action regardless of the long time to adapt. At that time, he thought of the idea for [[Frog Hop]], which became one of the very first games to be made for ''Rhythm Heaven''.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20090701104808/http://www.rhythmheaven.com/iwata4.html</ref>

==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 was used to pause during a mini game.

[[File:RHdemoKiosk.png|thumb]]In the kiosk version, the game starts with a seizure warning screen, followed by the game's title screen (with "Demo Version" added to the logo), and starting the game goes directly to [[Practice Flicking]] (which can be skipped), after which the player goes to the Game Select, with only the first [[Rhythm Game]] available.

[[File:RHdemoDSDownload.png|thumb]]When starting up the DS Download version, the game asks the player if they are "Left or Right?"-handed. After the choice was made, the player meets [[The Bandleader]] who first thanks the player for downloading the demo, after which they are taken to [[Practice Flicking]] (which can be skipped), and then they are taken directly to the first [[Rhythm Game]]. After each game, [[The Bandleader]] shows up to comment on the rating. If the player got [[OK]] or higher, they move on to the next game, without the Game Select.
