Gameplay
In this game, Urakata Aki to Ki need the player's help to bounce the balls along the long, curving stretch of circular platforms against a dark blue gradient. From the furthest platform, a ball spawns and begins to bounce along each of the platforms getting closer and closer to the screen. At the center and closest part of the screen is a yellow pole alongside a red pole, each holding platforms. As the ball approaches, it bounces along the other platforms in rhythm, until finally approaching the yellow and red poles, where the player must press Ⓐ then ✚ to bounce the ball across. The balls bounce at varying speeds, and in the latter half of the game, they appear in sets of two or three at a time.
Controls
- Ⓐ/Tap: Bounce Yellow Pole
- ✚/Tap: Bounce Red Pole

I bought this for my son because I heard it was the big, popular toy this year. It turns out that it's even MORE popular with adults. They build these huge structures and hold tournaments and stuff! |

Trivia
- Strangely, the epilogues for this game in Rhythm Heaven Megamix have Urakata Aki to Ki always smiling, while in Rhythm Tengoku, they have different expressions.
- This game's Practice is one of the few in Rhythm Tengoku that doesn't explain the controls to the player via text. It received a tutorial in the arcade version, in addition to the original Practice. In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the Practice was reworked to include an explanation instead.
- The Practice in Rhythm Tengoku doesn't feature any music, instead having the ambient noise of a street.
