Mixers and Maestros is a two player competitive hardcore rhythm game that combines the likeness of osu! and Guitar Hero to create a musical dueling experience. However, instead of ending player-interaction at throwing debuffs at each other, debuffs act as multipliers, and a debuff thrown at an opponent can actually get them farther ahead. Thus the "duel" evolves into a healthy competition to push both players to their limits then force them to surpass them.
