McOsu
McOsu is developed separately from and has no direct affiliation with osu! or ppy Pty Ltd.
McOsu is NOT osu!
A free open-source circle-clicking rhythm game client for osu! beatmaps, with the main focus on making practicing easier and customizing gameplay.
It is primarily a practice client for getting better at the "official" game by having tools at your disposal that osu! does not provide for some reason, it’s not supposed to be a perfect copy of osu!, or otherwise profit with a free game from a free game (what).
If you have never played osu! before, then I do not recommend using this client (except for VR players + FPoSu players of course), as there are no gameplay tutorials in here (just google "osu!" and play the official game which is a lot more polished and has online rankings including multiplayer etc.).Features:
- Unlimited Customizability (Options, Console Commands via SHIFT + F1)
- Beatmap Overrides (Approach Rate, Circle Size, Overall Difficulty, HP Drain)
- Speed/BPM Slider
- Scrubbing and Quicksave/load (SHIFT and F6/F7, rebindable, jump to any point in time of a beatmap)
- Experimental Mods (Wobble, Jigsaw, First Person, Playfield Flipping, Reverse Sliders, etc.)
- Change mods and options while playing (F1 and CTRL + O)
- Built-in pp counter (live stats overlay + ranking screen)
- VR gamemode
- First-Person 3D gamemode (FPoSu)
- Steam Workshop support for skins
- Infinite offline profiles with pp ranking
- Customizable HP Drain + Notelock algorithms
Beatmaps
- If you have osu! installed, then McOsu will load your beatmaps directly from the default osu! installation path, although custom paths are also possible
- You can use McOsu without installing osu! (it is not recommended though), a guide on manual beatmap management is available in the Steam Community Guides
osu! VS McOsuThe intention of this game is neither to replace peppy’s client, nor to split the community. McOsu was created partially out of frustration, because osu! is lacking many usability features vital to practicing effectively and efficiently. This is currently being rectified in the rewrite of osu! (called osu!lazer), which is an open-source project anyone can contribute to.Holodance VS McOsuWhile Holodance is focused on providing a full VR rhythm game experience with osu! beatmap compatibility as a sideproject, McOsu tries to bring pure osu! gameplay into Virtual Reality while staying as close to the original as possible.
As a wise man once said, "plz enjoy game".

McOsu is a rhythm game that stands as an unofficial fan-made practice client for the popular game osu! Developed to offer a more flexible platform for players to practice and refine their skills, McOsu introduces various customization options unavailable in the official osu! Client. This includes adjustable gameplay settings like approach rate, circle size, and HP drain, allowing players to simulate different playing conditions or focus on specific aspects of gameplay for improvement.
One of the most praised features of McOsu is its ability to allow players to practice specific parts of a song without having to play through the entire track. This is particularly useful for mastering difficult sections, saving time and enhancing the efficiency of practice sessions. Additionally, McOsu supports playing beat maps directly from the osu! Library and importing skins from osu! Enable players to maintain a consistent visual and gameplay experience.
The performance in McOsu is generally smooth, with a high frame rate and responsive controls that ensure accurate timing and movement, which are critical in a rhythm game. At the same time, the interface could be more polished than the official osu! Client, it is functional and straightforward, emphasizing performance and utility over aesthetics.
While McOsu is intended to supplement the official osu! Game is highly regarded within the community for its utility as a training tool. Its open-source nature and active development also mean that it continues to evolve, with new features and improvements regularly added based on community feedback.
However, it's important to note that scores achieved in McOsu do not contribute to a player's official osu! Rankings, as it is purely a practice client. Playing the official game is necessary for competitive players and those looking to improve their rank. Despite this, McOsu remains an invaluable resource for serious osu! Players aim to hone their skills in a more controlled and customizable environment.

very good game, way smoother than normal osu! and I'll most likely play on mcosu more than the standard client

Hard to go back to regular Osu after using McOsu. There's so many more QoL features and it runs better.

Pretty fun, and I like it better than regular osu!. I think the VR mode is bugged though. I normally play the desktop version, but once recently I tried to play a song in the VR mode and the notes were very far away from the background they are normally on, and I couldn't really figure out how to do it.

There is no Osu! like McOsu
Note: follow this guide to add custom maps (if you still can't see the map after following the guide it's because the beatmap is not compatible - not the guide's fault)!

It's basically a better Osu with variety of song modifiers, UI customizations and a VR mode. It runs much smoother aswell.

Its like regular osu, but better performance, vr mode, fps mode, and workshop support.
