On July 13th, rhythm game history was made. 15-year-old Twitch streamer Vaxei<\/a> became the first osu! player to achieve 1,000 performance points in a single song. This kicked off a roller-coaster two weeks that saw the record snatched from him less than a day later by 18-year-old Caleb \u201cidke<\/a>\u201d Yin with a score of 1,035, then reclaimed on the 25th with 1,066. And he did it on a 480.<\/p>\n

osu!\u2014all lowercase, exclamation point mandatory\u2014is a free rhythm game created by Aussie-by-way-of-Japan developer Dean Herbert. It adds an extra visual dimension to the rhythm game formula as you hit circles and trace patterns that appear on the screen.<\/p>\n
