### 5/5 — Just incredible!

*2026-03-01, version 1.0.2*

Honestly haven’t played a game like this in a long while. Just a beautiful game and it’s not spammed with ads. Big props to the dev!

I honestly love this game so much, it brings back so much nostalgia from similar games in the past! I would definitely recommend to everyone!

### 5/5 — Dreamy

Such a beautifully created game with the most relaxing audio all whilst giving some seriously fun puzzle action

### 5/5 — Hugely satisfying puzzle game

*2026-02-16, version 1.0.2*

This is one of the most fun and rewarding puzzle games I have played for years. Highly recommended.

### 2/5 — Just OK…

*2026-05-29, version 1.0.2*

It’s good but it’s not free and I rather to play other games instead

### 3/5 — Version payante inaccessible

*2026-05-26*

Franche ment le jeux a l'air top mais impossible de télécharger la partie payante ça fait 4 fois qu'on valide l'achat et rien ne se passe sur l'application.

### 3/5 — 課金額に問題数が相応しくない

*2026-05-24*

無料分が終わって、楽しいからもっとやりたいと思って課金したけど、すぐ終わってしまった。

### 3/5 — パズルとしてはおもしろいが…

*2026-05-17*

できあがったものは音楽を作ろうというコンセプトに沿わないことが多い。もっと美しい正答があるということなのかもよくわからず。
また、IVあたりからはもはや軌道を追いかけるのは難しく、単に消去法のパズルになってしまう。

### 3/5 — Too short

*2026-04-04*

So far, the tutorial was clear and did not require any additional explanations.

What was disappointing is the number of levels. There are currently very few — only 61 in total, including all explanations and introductions to new mechanics. This can be completed very quickly, in about 2–3 hours, even if you read everything and don’t rush. For a paid game costing €6, this is quite little

I felt that both the number of levels and the overall progression were lacking. For example, it would be interesting if, as you progress, you gradually create a song, and in the final level everything comes together, showing that all your previous actions were connected.

It would also be interesting to have multiple ways to complete levels, resulting in different outcomes and compositions.

Additionally, in Chapter 3, level 9 might be difficult to majority, so hints are not a bad idea 

To improve the game’s popularity, it would be better to reduce the price or make it free.


For now it’s 3 stars do to high cost and low number of levels, but the game has potential

### 3/5 — Have to pay

*2026-02-26*

A game with beautiful mind-healing quotes that open a door to your soul while you create relaxing melodies to wake up a cute but wise cat mascot. Could have been the perfect game if the developer clearly stated you have to pay to access the entire game after 10ish levels. Of course, as they said, it would be great if the player could pay to support independent devs ! However not mentioning there will be a paywall is where I was disappointed. (It is technically written “full game upgrade” with the price somewhere, but common, you gotta reallyyyy search for it..)
Maybe they could ask for donations instead or make it a paid game from the get go, or at least mention somewhere clearly it’s a demo version ? Kinda sad about the lack of transparency when you need to build trust with your community first.. :( BUT I still invite anyone who want to/can pay for it to do so, it’s 5€ and it seems to be quite a fair price !
Good luck Cadence 🎶🐈💤

### 3/5 — Is it broken?

*2026-02-24*

For me, in level 1 it asked to start a tutorial and after showing to connect the fields the tutorial simply stopped and that was it. No instructions what to do and how to play. Not even a glimpse of the goal of the levels which only seems to be to wake up the cat. Most of the first levels are easy, but level 5 didn‘t work. The help feature explained the counter. But how does it count, up or down, and what does it count? The pulses? If so, how do we know how many we need to succeed? In level 5 it generates only one pulse, but it seems to need two. Why so complicated?

### 3/5 — Audio issues

*2026-02-15, version 1.0.2*

Audio on iPad won’t play through the speakers. It only works with headphones.

### 4/5 — 猫が喋らないで欲しい

*2026-05-19*

新しい感じで面白いけど、クリアすると猫が自己啓発みたいなセリフを言うのがめちゃくちゃ嫌でした。ニャーと鳴くだけなら可愛くて、静かな音楽にも合ってると思います。猫の発言が雑音に思えて静かに楽しめなかったです。

### 4/5 — 音が鳴る循環パズル

*2026-05-17*

パズルが完成するとオルゴールみたいな短いメロディが出来る

ステージクリア後に出る台詞の意味がよく分からないけど読まなくても大丈夫そう

無料で遊べるのは途中までだが、それだけでも十分なボリュームが有る

課金しなくても広告が無いのが良い

### 5/5 — Fun and comforting

*2026-06-24, version 1.0.2*

Small game all and all but was worth the time spent. Hope they’ll be more levels or a sequel game but i know the level designs will take a while.  
The last 10-20 ish levels with the locked paths gave away the answers by guessing less on how the puzzle will go so was a bit too easy, but i also know if there were no locked paths it’d be too much of a guessing game.  idk if that made any sense, but anyway music was a bop, amazing gameplay puzzle mechanic. thank you for a wonderful experience

### 5/5 — Stop making me contemplate my life

*2026-06-15, version 1.0.2*

It the words spoke to me a bit to much

### 5/5 — Like this game

*2026-06-02, version 1.0.2*

Good game, the most i like the things that this cat is saying ❤️

### 5/5 — Would recommend downloading

*2026-05-23, version 1.0.2*

Very fun puzzles, the audio is great as well.

### 5/5 — Love the puzzle

*2026-05-20, version 1.0.2*

Very creative puzzle game and I love the sleeping cat

### 5/5 — 気になった方はぜひ

*2026-05-16*

中々見ないパズルと音楽の融合が、かなり良かったです。デザインもシンプルながらおしゃれですし、パズルのギミックから丁寧に開発した様子が伝わります。あと、音も素敵です。私は音楽に疎いですが、このようなシンプルなデザインのパズルゲームが好きですので、かなり好みに刺さりました。
パズルが好きな方音楽が好きな方に限らず、少しでも興味を持った方、アイコンのねこが可愛いと思った方、ぜひ一度遊んでみましょう。
UIやパズルのギミックが分かりにくかったり、いまいち音楽味が薄かったりなど、荒削りな所はあります。あと、日本語訳がかなり直訳っぽいかな。私はそこが少し気になりましたが、斬新なアイデアをありがとうの気持ちと今後の期待を込めて、星5とさせて頂きました。

### 5/5 — 非常によくできたパズル

*2026-05-15*

パズルとしてのギミックがシンプルなのにも関わらず、ここまで難易度を変えられるのかと驚きました。面白いです。

### 5/5 — Amazing One

*2026-05-14*

I never thought that a game would help me better than an app! 
This is so well done, a lot of thought has gone into this game, really appreciate all the hard work the team put in this! 
Cheers✨
