At BitSummit PUNCH 2026, Yoshida Terukazu previewed Step Theater, a rhythm game from Pixel Smile (headed by streamer P-P) and published by N-Bit Games. The PC title uses simple button presses timed to video and music, with stages like mochi-pounding and a mochi-grilling showdown. A special pestle controller was also playable. Release is planned for 2026 on Steam.
Yoshida Terukazu's BitSummit sketch diary highlights Step Theater, a rhythm game from Pixel Smile, the studio of popular game streamer P-P. The game uses one-button timing to match on-screen actions-first pounding mochi at a rabbit-and-turtle mochi shop, then selling it, and finally grilling mochi in a battle against an ogre. Each stage tells a short story, and clearing a full set completes one movie. A special controller shaped like a pestle was available for demo. Step Theater is due on PC via Steam later in 2026.
