The rhythm game requires players to move the analog stick of the PlayStation Vita in circles whilst pressing buttons in time with musical notes. As the player progresses through a music track, the game stage gradually becomes more colorful.[6] The feedback of each music track is dynamic and varies based on the player's own performance.[7] The game revolves around the virtual diva known as IA, who is a Vocaloid developed by the company 1st Place Co., Ltd.[8] The game will feature 60 different songs.[2] Some music tracks will feature new music background video footage exclusive for the game, whilst others will contain the original video track for the song.[9] The game will feature different play modes, including challenge modes with varying difficulty levels, consecutive play, and free play.[10]

Song list

As of present, confirmed songs include:[2][10][11]

Reception

Famitsu gave the game a review score of 34/40.[12] The game sold 38,881 physical retail copies within its first week of release, taking third place within Japan's weekly software sales rankings.[13]

Kotaku compared IA/VT Colorful to the Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA game series, as well as praising the soundtrack of the game, writing "IA/VT is a solid first step for a Miku-rivalling music game series. It succeeds in the most important areas with its great game play interface and an astounding soundtrack. On the other hand, it is missing many of the extras [...] from the Project Diva games and the song unlock process makes playing a chore at times. Still, if you are a Project Diva fan, you owe it to yourself to give IA/VT a try.[14]
