### 5/5 — Impeccable level design

*2026-01-07*

We don’t get games like this anymore. Because Simogo does not develop for iOS anymore. Very well thought out and designed. Precisely executed. A great symphony of visuals, music and gameplay. 

Please bring back Sayanora Wild hearts to ios.

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2023-11-09, version 2.2*

The game is perfection. Ignore the bad reviews.

### 5/5 — An App Store Classic

*2023-05-06, version 2.2*

I hope this gets a remaster on Apple Arcade one day!

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2021-04-21, version 2.2*

Love it. Why after many years we still don’t have 2.0 yet? Please continue developing.

### 5/5 — Sequel?

*2021-02-13, version 2.2*

I absolutely LOVE this game! It’s so unique. Nothing else even remotely comes close to its gameplay! I wish there is a sequel planned. I know it’s been nearly a decade, but is there any hope?
I’ll pay double!

### 5/5 — Awesome game! Really Recommend.

*2020-01-03, version 2.2*

Fun, and creative! Just want to say to the creator, Great work! It’s an awesome and fun and just epic game, and good for picking up beats and having song ideas! BEST. SONG. GAME. EVER. Not a joke like the Beat Jumpers.

### 5/5 — One of my favorite games!

*2019-08-24, version 2.2*

The graphics are great!
The levels are challenging!
As long as you can step to the best, then you are able to sneak your way to the end. I find that even though I have best all of the levels, I’ll go back and replay them for fun.

My only comment is I want more!❤️❤️❤️

### 1/5 — 👎

*2019-01-31*

Ожидал что-то на подобие Bob the robber. Система управление ужасная.

### 5/5 — Love

*2018-12-31, version 2.2*

Thank you for updating this! Loved it way back when and am looking forward to “beating” it again :)

### 5/5 — Back to reality

*2018-11-25, version 2.2*

Alright, so the devs saw the game wasn’t working on XR and fixed it. 

So I’m here to fix that one star into 5. 

Game is one of a kind and needs to, at least, be experienced once. 

Good to have it back and playable.
