'''''jubeat''''' ''(UBeat in North America and Europe, pronounced you-beat)'', is an arcade music video game developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Japan, and is a part of KONAMI's [[BEMANI]] line of music video games since 2008. The original game went on several location tests in Asia since December 2007, and was released on July 24th, 2008. A North American location test for the game as UBeat was announced in August 2008. The cabinet utilizes one widescreen (16:9) in portrait orientation which is split into two main areas; the top 2/5 of which is used for displaying scores and information, and the bottom 3/5 of which is split into 16 panel areas arranged in a 4x4 grid where the main part of the game takes place. Aside from the main game the bottom screen and the panels are used for menus and user interactive sections. | |||

= Gameplay = | |||
The basic gameplay of UBeat is similar to Nintendo DS music games such as ''Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan'' and ''Elite Beat Agents'' and can be considered to be similar to Whac-A-Mole. Animated explosions or other animations, called "[[jubeat Markers|markers]]", that can be chosen at the song select screen are shown within the panels synced to a track of the player's choosing; when they reach a "hot point", which is dependent on the marker chosen, the player must tap the corresponding screen to score points. Taps can be judged as either Perfect, いい感じ (Good), 早い (Early), or 遅い (Late). 3 difficulties (BASIC, ADVANCED, and EXTREME) are offered for each song. | The basic gameplay of UBeat is similar to Nintendo DS music games such as ''Osu!

Up to 900 000 points can be earned from hitting notes alone. The remaining 100 000 is achieved through a bonus that increases as the player gets PERFECT and GOOD judgements and decreases as the player gets EARLY, LATE, and MISS judgements (but cannot go below 0). <!-- More elaboration needed. --> | ||
