### 5/5 — My favorite game

*2026-04-30, version 5.0.8*

I wish VK would have more songs

### 5/5 — 特定の環境下で起動しない

*2026-04-03*

言うまでもなく、素晴らしいゲームです。ゲーム内容については他の方のレビューで全て語られています。
その上で。現在、昔起こっていた無限ロードバグの強化版のようなものが発生しています。

**iOS26.4にアップデートされた端末では、GameCenterにサインインした状態かつクラウドセーブONの状態でゲームを起動すると、「loading」の画面のまま先に進まなくなります。**
対処法は、現時点では本体の設定からGameCenter、サインアウトするしかありません。なので、クラウドセーブは封じられた状態にあります。

対応されるのを待ちたいところですが、ずいぶん昔のゲームなので難しいかもしれません。起動できなくて困っている方は、GameCenterからサインアウトして起動すれば直るかと思います。

### 4/5 — Awesome game just a lil grindy at points

*2026-01-16*

Too grindy towards the end of the plot and a lot of the music can be hit or miss depending on ur taste but just super fun

### 5/5 — fun.

*2026-01-14, version 5.0.8*

its pretty fun

### 5/5 — 完成度の高い音ゲー(だった)

*2025-12-16*

曲もストーリーも良いです。
黄色ノーツが繋がりにくいところ以外不満はありません。

2025/10/5追記
iPad mini 2(iOS12.5.7)に2年ぶりのアップデート(バージョン5.0.8)が降ってきて、アプリ起動不可になりました。
古い機種なのでサポートされなくなるのは仕方ないですが、せめてアップデート配信の対象から外して、起動可能な状態を最終バージョンとして欲しかったです。

2025/12/16追記
バックアップからアプリのバージョンを5.0.6に戻すと起動しました。
互換性情報にはiOS11以降と表記されていますが、少なくともiOS12において最新バージョンは起動不可です。新規購入やアップデートをご検討で該当する方は(居ないと思いますが……)ご注意ください。

### 5/5 — Great Sound Tracks

*2025-12-16, version 5.0.8*

Wish I can buy all the sound track and play it on a record players

### 5/5 — Long time plyer

*2025-12-06, version 5.0.8*

This game has a good story amazing music and really fun gameplay. I like the customization of the notes. This allows players to adjust the game the themselves. All in all 5 star game100%.

### 5/5 — my first true rhythm game

*2025-10-26, version 5.0.8*

from time to time I had played games in the App Store that were simple rhythm games with generic pop music with press the tiles or follow the ball, but when I played this game for the first time around 2013/2014, and took years to beat it, it not only grew on me in such a short amount of time, the heartbreaking story and beautiful art as well as music, not only change my music taste, but love for this game, as it remains as one of my favorites to this day, and most definitely one of the best rhythm games (at least story wise) made to this day. A truly unique and memorable experience I’ll never forget nor regret. It’s soundtrack I hold extremely close personally.

### 5/5 — deemo

*2025-10-13, version 5.0.8*

absolute peak but I actually hate run lads run with a burning passion oh and also anima

### 1/5 — No sound

*2025-10-10, version 5.0.8*

I bought this to play on an iPhone SE 2020, and literally no sound played. No sound. Kind of a problem for a music-based game.
