Dialogue: Not using sound for Dialogue, or using just a elemental expression as in this example, seems to have been a design decision.

Entrainment: In this game Entrainment is not only a consequence but also a requisite of the Rhythm Gameplay. The player voluntary seeks to keep in sync with the beat of the game. The exteriorization of the game's beat in the player's body language is a common testimony. The game's tempo is 120 bpm (4/4).

Foley: It is possible to perceive the Foley from the hammers hitting the target, as well as the boss's claws ditching the ground and its Footsteps. (In turn, for abstract actions, such as the charging and shooting of the boss's beam Sound Effects were created).

Levelled Performance: Songs and, later, Miracles that trigger specific effects, are progressively made available along the the game.

Sonic Weapon: Megapons carry massive horns and their (audible) sound waves transform into shapes that inflict much damage in the enemy.

Sound Visualization: The all visual representation pulses with the sound - from the most objective, as the rectangle in the border and the drums' onomatopoeias (mapping the Sound Input), to the more subtle, as the moves and details of the characters (which map and the Sound Input and the sound they echo themselves).

Subtitles and Captions: Speech balloons represent messages that are not actually heard.
