Absolutely worth the, what? 3 dollars? 100% recommended ### 5/5 — My childhood memories *2025-12-19, version 10.1.8* I’ve started playing this classic game again lately,and it’s perfect for iPad ### 5/5 — Great Rhythm Game *2025-11-23, version 10.1.7* I have been playing this game since it first came out YEARS ago and still in 2025 I have come back to play this game again. ### 5/5 — 色褪せない名作 *2025-11-20* 10年くらい前にAndroidで没頭していました。今は色々な環境が変わりましたが、たまに時間がある時、ふとやりたくなります。 新しいゲームを追いかける体力はありませんが、好きだったあの曲がどこのチャプターにあるか探すのが楽しみに緩く楽しみたいと思います。 ### 2/5 — Good songs, bad charting *2025-11-19* Ok, the songs are old but still decent and really good, but the purposefully slow made charts are sometimes unbearable and kill all the joy of grinding a MM ### 5/5 — Better Than The 2nd Imo *2025-10-10, version 10.1.7* Love this game, soundtrack is addictive, been playing this for a few years now ### 4/5 — Same game new memories *2025-09-30, version 10.1.7* Can’t wait to play Cytus 2 after I beat Cytus ### 5/5 — Nostalgic classic *2025-09-03, version 10.1.7* I played this all the way back in the beginning of 2012 when it first released, and I kept coming back to it every couple of years. The fact that I still have such fond memories for this game and the music 13 years later really is testimony to the love and skill that was put into this game over the years. Extremely worth it, you get A LOT for the price. And the nostalgia alone is absolutely worth it. Ververge lives rent free in my head. ### 5/5 — CRAZY Goood it it good *2025-08-30, version 10.1.7* OH NAHHHH TGIS GANE IS VERY BERRY FANTASTIC AND WONDERFUL PLAY IT IF YOU LIKE TAP TAP GAMES.ALSO IT UPDATES PRETTY OFTEN RANGING FROM 4MONTHS TO 7 MONTHS ### 4/5 — 久々や！ *2025-08-16* 10年ぶりくらいに思い出してダウンロードしました！最高です！ ただ、タップ音がタンバリンなのが残念、以前のタップ音になって欲しい。タップ音変更ができたり、振動が着いたらもっと最高👍 ### 5/5 — Always good music and good game!! *2025-08-02, version 10.1.6* I really like the music in cytus 1 and 2 and the visuals in 1 so nostalgia is and better to me cuz I like really pretty “unquality” UI teehee ### 4/5 — I’m addicted *2025-07-28, version 10.1.6* I absolutely love this game. The story is there, but it’s ambiguous enough to not distract from the gameplay, the mechanics are simple and easy to digest, my only gripe is that I got it while it was still free on another device, but when I got a new phone it was 2 bucks and I couldn’t figure out how to restore my purchase or my save data, so i had to pay and start all over. ### 4/5 — ⭐️ *2025-06-12* Приложение отличное, играть в него начала еще когда было бесплатное. Из минусов - не так много хорошей музыки, большой упор на рок и техно, но это дело вкуса ### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel *2025-06-05* Ich kenne das spiel schon lange und spiele es immer wieder gerne um mich zu entspannen ### 5/5 — I just started ALIVE *2025-05-22, version 10.1.6* I’m dying to finish it ### 5/5 — Review *2025-05-06, version 10.1.6* Good game like the musics ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 最新版不知道修复了什么iOS12的设备直接闪退打不开了 *2026-03-17, version 10.1.8* 最新版不知道修复了什么iOS12的设备直接闪退打不开了 ### 1/5 — This game sucks *2026-02-06, version 10.1.8* It’s amazing that they made Cytus 2 so much better, but this one is awful. Worse music, horrible “story” design and conveyance, hideous visuals. Play C2 instead. ### 1/5 — Can’t restore my purchases *2025-02-15* I can’t restore my purchases I paid 2 dlc that I can’t play at all… (Retro and Timeline) ### 1/5 — Can’t restore my purchase *2025-02-03, version 10.1.5* I purchased chapter prologue, but there is no way to play the track in the game, and clicking on restore doesn't work ### 1/5 — Purchased Chapters are locked again and won’t go away even though I repurchased *2025-01-28, version 10.1.5* I bought several chapters and when I opened the game again today, all of them were locked behind paywalls again even though I already payed for them. I tried rebuying them and it says purchase successful, but the locked screen won’t go away. I tried updating, reinstalling, restarting my iPad, and nothing worked. ### 1/5 — Human artists create; AI can only imitate *2023-06-02, version 10.1.4* I’ve seen some of the AI art Rayark intends to use for their games. It cannot compare to the beauty created by human artists. Shame on the decision maker who discarded humans like so many disposable scraps of paper just to save a few bucks with subpar imagery. Good luck making any money when people stop buying your awful-looking AI-generated games. ### 1/5 — AI art strikes again… *2023-05-28, version 10.1.4* I used to play this game all the time a couple of years ago. It was my favorite! But I eventually fell out of it. I’d redownload it recently because I wanted to play it again, but soon after I found out that the developers fired all their artists and are using AI art now :( Please, for the love of god, use real artists. AI can’t replicate the hard work and effort they put into each piece. I’m deleting the game and making a mental note not to play any other Rayark games until they use real artists again. ### 1/5 — game bugs *2022-07-14, version 10.1.3* theres is not a single music. there is no sound?i want a refund ### 1/5 — unable to restore my purchase *2020-12-20* unable to restore my purchase the button won’t work sadly ### 1/5 — Game crash *2020-02-20* Game crash, start to song. iPhone 6s+ iOS 9 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really Good！ *2026-08-11, version 10.1.8* Such a great game. I just can't put it down, even when my fingers are about to cramp. 很好的遊戲，玩到手痙攣也無法自拔 Game yang sangat hebat. Saya terlalu asyik bermain sampai jari sakit pun masih tidak mahu berhenti. 最高のゲームです。指が痛くなるほど夢中になって、やめられません 정말 좋은 게임입니다. 손가락에 쥐가 날 정도로 플레이해도 멈출 수가 없습니다. ### 5/5 — Best Rhythm Game Ever *2026-08-08, version 10.1.8* Hands down one of the best rhythm games ever with a ton of extremely catchy songs! This actually inspired me to become a video game composer so I highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Aesthetic & Adrenaline-Fueled Game *2026-08-05, version 10.1.8* Beautiful design. Satisfying gameplay. Gives calm and adrenaline. Quite my tempo. ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2026-07-26, version 10.1.8* Love this game ### 5/5 — Still GOATED *2026-07-07, version 10.1.8* I remember playing this game back in 2015 or ‘16 when I was still a teen. Genuinely still one of the best apps out here for tapping games. ### 5/5 — Rhythm GOTY *2026-07-04, version 10.1.8* Peak. ### 5/5 — cyTus to mymee *2026-06-17, version 10.1.8* The best part about it is us. ### 5/5 — One of the best games out there *2026-06-17, version 10.1.8* The Beats and the music in this game is very cool ### 5/5 — 時が経っても出来るのが嬉しい *2026-04-22* まだミリオン達成してなかった時期から達成した後しばらくプレイしていましたが離れ 何年も経っているのに大好きだった同じゲームを今もまた出来る事が嬉しいです。Cytusは今も素晴らしい。 ### 5/5 — まだやってる人いるのかな *2026-04-16* いまもやってます！ボケ防止！ HARDモードは7か8のレベルがギリギリで9は無理です！笑 でも楽しんでます。有料の音楽は一切やってないですが充分です！ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
