About

Miku Flick (ミクフリック) was a 2012 rhythm game created by Sega and Crypton Future Media for the iOS operating system for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. The game was a spin-off of the Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA series of Vocaloid rhythm games and was released in Japan on March 9, 2012 and internationally on April 9, 2012. Like the original the game primarily makes use of Vocaloids, a series of singing synthesizer software, and the songs created using these vocaloids most notably the virtual-diva Vocaloid Hatsune Miku. Miku Flick was the first game in the Project Diva series to ever be released outside Japan in English.

Gameplay

As the game was a spin-off from the Project Diva series, its gameplay differs greatly from the original series. The game was still a rhythm game at heart, though its mechanics greatly differ. Players can pick their songs using a Cover Flow system from a selection of 13 songs all sung by Hatsune Miku. This was the first game in the series to not feature any other Vocaloids apart from Hatsune Miku.

It was also the first game not to use Promotional Videos (PVs) rendered in real-time, instead the game's PVs are pre-rendered with graphics of Project DIVA Arcade. The game also featured two more modes being "PV" where players can watch the PVs of the various songs in the game and "Break the Limit" whereby it is an even more extreme version of the game.
