Sadly it was too short, too easy, boring and made me wish I could get my money back, not a patch on the other games. Would not recommend. ### 5/5 — Mad head games *2024-04-04* We need more games please ### 4/5 — Good value for money *2023-12-31, version 1.0.4* Good game - some parts easy and others difficult but, with a one off payment, it is possible to skip harder puzzles - unlike other games where you have to keep buying help ### 4/5 — The music is perfection *2022-05-24* I hear a few bars of so much good 70s music! Perfect ambience. Game is too short. Some nice touches though ### 5/5 — Love this title but MadHead is out of mobile games *2022-05-14* Was wondering why I hadn’t received a newsletter from MadHead games in quite some time and after a quick Google search it appears that over the last year they have transitioned from making mobile games like this one into console and PC games exclusively. Titles like Cadenza, Moonsouls, Donna Brave, Nevertales and many others that I have enjoyed immensely will have no new ones to follow. Makes me very sad to see that happen as these are some of the best mobile games out there. Sad to see you go Madhead — really and truly ### 4/5 — Cadenza: The following *2020-12-23* Great adventure object game!! ### 5/5 — Cadenza *2020-11-13* 6th time reviewing. Interesting and different play. Thanks for work. ### 4/5 — Cadenza: The Following by LynxMinx *2020-11-11* This music-themed thrill ride was extremely enjoyable to play. The graphics were beautiful and the cut-scenes were literally electrifying. As usual, you must collect a Mad Head emblem and a morphing object at each location, plus you can collect another morphing object in each HO scene. The HO scenes had a bit of variety, but consisted mainly of word lists. I was entertained by most of the puzzles, although I found them a bit simplistic. I always love the fact that you can examine items from multiple perspectives, and there was a plethora of those items. We were also treated to sliding zoom zones. Inventory usage was innovative, and the tasks were amusing to accomplish. The problem was that the game was extremely brief, inclusive of the bonus adventure. In addition, there was a slight lack of touchscreen sensitivity on the gameplay interface. At the completion of the game, I was unable to access any of the extras, except the treasure hunt (which is bonus gameplay for finding all the Mad Head logos) and the ensuing treasure hunt. My actual rating will remain at 4 stars. I was disappointed that we weren’t given the option of replaying the mini-games/puzzles, and for the brevity of the gameplay experience. However, I love this series and would definitely love another sequel. Here’s a fun trivia fact: Remember the golden elevator? Did it look familiar to you? The reason is because that particular elevator entrance was the same one as in Maze: Broken Tower. It was the entrance to the elevator which took you up the Gehenna Tower. I hope the developer will correct me if I’m wrong, but I have a very good memory. Nenad, please tell me if I’m correct! For newer players, that game was amazing and you must purchase it! Happy gaming to everyone! **Developer response:** Thank you very much for this awesome review. We are really glad that you enjoyed playing it. We will take your feedback into consideration for the future, because we want to create a game that is enjoyable for the players, that provides tons of fun for everyone. ### 1/5 — Following *2020-11-10, version 1.0.1* Impossible d’acheter le jeu car on ne peut pas le débloquer. Il y a juste la mention « already purchase ». Aucune case pour cocher achat. Dommage car il est en promotion. Installé et désinstallé deux fois, le problème persiste. ### 1/5 — There is no „Buy“ Button *2020-11-09, version 1.0.1* The Button has no Text and it is not possible to buy the App with an in-app-purchase. ## Frequently asked questions about Cadenza ### What is Cadenza: The Following about?
