Art Exercise, also known as Young Love or Doodling (X-1) is a level in Rhythm Doctor.
It is currently the last non-collaboration level in the Early Access build. It properly introduces Lucia.
The track was created by BoxCat Games.
Synopsis[edit]
Hailey stumbles upon Lucia, struggling with an artist's block. Lucia asks Hailey to participate in an art exercise where Hailey draws scribbles and Lucia turns it into drawings. The player treats Lucia as Hailey draws various scribbles on Lucia's sketchbook, with Lucia turning it into various drawings; She draws a picture of Hailey, a grumpy alligator, a T-Rex, a "sneaky dude [...] up to no good," a woman with a long nose, a chubby bird sitting on a branch, and finally, a self-portrait of herself. She thanks Hailey for participating in the exercise with her, and tells her that they should do more scribbles another time. Ian and Paige then thank the player for treating all available patients in the Early Access version of Rhythm Doctor as the level ends.
Gameplay[edit]
2-player mode[edit]
Player 1 treats Lucia, while player 2 treats Hailey. Player 2 only plays squareshots, while player 1 only plays classic beats. Unlike the 1-player version, there are multiple squareshots interspersed throughout each phrase.
Transcript[edit]
History[edit]
- Before the Muse Dash collab was added to the game, this was the only level to feature Squareshots. It featured no tutorial for these Squareshots, simply relying on firsthand demonstration for the player to understand the mechanic. Once the Muse Dash collab levels were added, however, a proper tutorial was incorporated in MD-1. Lastly, Dreams Don't Stop now introduces Squareshots within the main story levels, meaning that X-1 can no longer be played before the player understands the mechanic.
- Before the Act 5 update, this was the only non-collaboration level to incorporate the use of Squareshots.
- Before the Act 5 update, this was the first time the player could see Lucia, as a patient or character, show up within a main story level. In Dreams Don't Stop (5-X), Lucia now makes her first indirect appearance as one of the patients being coached by Lucky.
