App Details

Welcome to StepMania, a rhythm game simulator. If you're not familiar with the concept of rhythm games, it involves triggering inputs (e.g. buttons, foot panels) in time to the music. StepMania can be controlled with a keyboard or one of various specialized controllers.

Getting Started

Song Installation

StepMania requires a specific folder layout when installing songs: Songs/[group folder]/[song folder]/

Using one of the included songs as an example:

Songs/StepMania 5/Springtime/Kommisar - Springtime.mp3
Songs/StepMania 5/Springtime/spring.png
Songs/StepMania 5/Springtime/springbn.png
Songs/StepMania 5/Springtime/Springtime.ssc
Each of these files serves as a part of the simfile. StepMania 5 supports various formats, including (but not limited to) SSC, SM, DWI, KSF and BMS. With the multi-file BMS and KSF formats, put all the files in the song's folder.
