The full release was scheduled on April 21 but was delayed to April 23 instead.[6] SuperStar IZ*ONE was released after SuperStar WOOLLIM which released on April 21, the original release date of SuperStar IZ*ONE.[7]

Gameplay[edit]

Like any rhythm games, players tap descending colored objects when they align with the bar at the bottom of the screen, the goal is being to score the highest points from the chosen soundtrack and competing each other in a league to go up a rank on the weekly chart league named "SS*ONE Ranking".[11] Tapping the objects in time correctly, and consecutively without any misses, gives bonus points. Every available soundtrack is grouped in different category which is moon, snow and flower.

The game used card system which from the lowest is C, B, A, S and R. Each card was available in different theme that featured the group member photos such as Girly Style Collection, Vampire Style Collection and so on. Just like the soundtrack, the cards were also grouped in category as moon, snow and flower.

For first time use, the user was designated to choose the members and play "La Vie en Rose" to matching their tapping with the game and receive a cards pack. Along with tapping the colored objects (beat), user was given an option to play with video or a fixed image as the background. The videos were from the performances of the group Japanese commemoration showcase "Suki to Iwasetai" or simply from their music videos. Every action in the game such as play the soundtrack, combining the cards and going up the rank was counted in XP points to level up the rank. Every rank had their own setup for equip the amount of cards to keep.[12]

The game was monetized through in-app-purchases to purchasing their headphones and diamond to play the soundtrack and purchase the cards. Headphone was gained from daily mission or when user rank up.
