A remake called Cytus Alpha (stylized as Cytus α) was also released for the Nintendo Switch on 25 April 2019.
==Gameplay== The gameplay of Cytus relies on Active Scan Line, which moves up and down across the screen. The player must tap circular objects, known as Notes, as the Active Scan Line passes over them, following the music. Different types of notes are used: Click Note (a single circular note, that requires tapping the object in time), Drag Note (a continuous track of notes, that requires dragging along the track), and Hold Note (has an extended ribbon meter, requires the note to be held until the meter is filled).
