March 30 marked a sad day for fans of the anime rhythm game Muse Dash, as its developers PeroPeroGames have stated they are filing for bankruptcy. Or, at least that’s what they would have you believe for their 2021 April Fools Update live now on Steam. PeroPeroGames posted to Muse Dash News with the following quote:

And that’s not the end of it. A new character, “Part-time Warrior Rin,” was added to the playable roster. Described as “(having) staggering physics-defying power, Rin is the ultimate personification of the collective creativity of PeroPeroGames.” The ‘high-quality design of the Part-time Warrior really highlights the dev team’s quirky imagination.

Muse Dash is available on PC, Android, iOS, and Switch.
