Keyccordion Dawn is a ten key rhythm game for ME-OS. It's main focus is dividing tracks into two parts, the harmony (meant for left hand), and the melody (meant for right hand).
Gameplay
Keyccordion Dawn has multiple "tracks", each coming with two audio layers. One is comprised of the harmony meant to be played on the left side of the track board, the other is made more for the melodic right hand side of the board. Each side has five buttons each, making a total of ten buttons to press through a duration of a song. However, difficulty can be adjusted by slowing down the tracks, removing some notes in the easier versions, and/or disabling right or left hand to only have a total of 5 buttons to press.
Each song has a difficulty ranking overall, 1 star being easy songs most suited for beginners, 5 stars being extreme difficulty. When the difficulty is lowered on any song, medium difficulty slows the song down to 90% speed, and easy to 80%, along with removing some notes from the board that may be more complicated to perform. The types of notes that can be hit are either singular or long notes which can be held to maximize score, but are not mandatory. When a lot of notes are hit consecutively, a streak is built up, multiplying all notes you hit until the streak is lost.
Practice options are also available, allowing players who need more aid to learn to have more tools at their disposal. Enabling "practice mode" on any difficulty prevents scores being saved, but allows you to slow down and speed up the song to your liking, enable auto play (to visually see the notes being clicked for you), and also enable wait mode. Wait mode is a feature that waits for the player to input the correct key to continue the song, and it will disable auto play if turned on (and vice versa).

Plot
The Keyccordion is a magical instrument from SP, allowing the performer to play whatever comes to their mind when pressing the buttons. However, it requires a lot of skill to play perfectly!
Development
This game was a concept considered before ME-OS had existed. It was planned to be a full standalone game with multiple original, remix and guest tracks. It was decided however that ME-OS needed a rhythm game, so a lite "Dawn" version was to be made. This version is planned to have a lot of songs and features, with the possibility of a full standalone game to come later in the future.
