Now I can relate to Jerry when I play this game. My exposure to classical music has increased thanks to pixel art and swipe gaming! ### 4/5 — Very cool game *2026-01-28, version 27.0* This game is literally so much fun, though after I downloaded it and realized you do have only a few songs unless you pay $2 (which granted isn't a lot). I was happy to see though that most of the songs are not so easy as i thought they might be. I haven't bought the other songs or conductors....but I'm definitely going to. I also have a personal achievement of getting perfect, mostly just cause it makes my brain happy. I definitely recommend :) ### 5/5 — Super fun *2024-09-23, version 3.0* This is a unique little game and I really enjoy the combination of 8-bit plus classical music. Can't say I've seen anything on the app store like this before. Offers a good amount of pieces for free and for a tiny price (yay support the developer!) you can play a lot more songs. One bug I just discovered today happens if you have a timer running in the background. When it dings and you close it to resume the game, the song will indefinitely pause. It doesn't close you out but just shows the orchestra waiting for more notes until you quit and start over. Other than that I've encountered zero issues. ### 3/5 — Pretty good and I really wanna love this game more but its kinda hard to *2024-07-25, version 3.0* The game’s solid and holds up despite its pretty simple controls that still allow for a very challenging rhythm game, though not very compatible with most peoples preferences. But along with having much more potential with the introduction of new songs and possible song creation definitely secures its spotlight. My main complaint is the swiping mechanics which sometimes don’t work properly and enter the wrong swipes in comparison to the one’s performed and the randomly generated note patterns that result in much more difficult runs based off RNG that makes it more annoying and denies the ability to just 'Get used to' for more re-playable which is ironically the same thing this game struggles with. Furthermore, the 'Buff' upon clearing 50-100 notes is pretty much useless if you’re going for a perfect and if there was a way to straight up toggle it off, I would, since the lights can be distracting, especially the beam in the middle, which makes deciphering the notes more difficult especially in harder difficulties as they blend them all into white and is just more of an nuisance than the wild notes it prevents and ende up feeling more like an obstacle than a 'Buff’ but besides just throwing away the idea, potentially introducing new buffs with varying note counts to balance it the varying effects could add some re-playability and add some more compatible aspects for the range of people who are invested in the game or at the abre minimum a toggle to decrease the visual effects. Edit: Prelude Minor G - RACHMANINOFF on Hard mode is glitched and starts before the "Ready" screen ends and the timer constantly changes (Bugged) Edit (2): After reloading the same song afterwards it immediately ended with a 0 Combo, 3 Star, and gave me the 3 star even though I didn’t even get a chance to play it. ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2024-07-12, version 3.0* 非常好玩的一款音乐游戏很考验反应能力 ### 2/5 — Game is too hard for no reason *2024-06-27, version 3.0* As i first play the game it was fun i died a lot but it was still fun but then it got harder and harder each time i played it(and i was still on the first level) it started doing multiple notes at the same time, but when i went on easy mode it kept doing it yet i just started playing the game. ### 5/5 — Im addicted but 1 problem *2024-06-26, version 3.0* So i bought the 1.99 for bo ads and all songs I'm still getting ads but thats not really the problem for the second guy who plays the music in the Minecraft theme i tried to play the songs it just gave me three stars and let me go through each lvl pls fix this <3 edit. I dont think it got fixed but beethoven on hard gets me confused because playing so fast for 5 mins make me kinda dizzy and makes me lose focus still very fun ### 5/5 — Im addicted but 1 problem *2024-05-29* So i bought the 1.99 for bo ads and all songs I'm still getting ads but thats not really the problem for the second guy who plays the music in the Minecraft theme i tried to play the songs it just gave me three stars and let me go through each lvl pls fix this <3 ### 4/5 — Really wanted to like this one *2024-04-26, version 3.0* I wish there was some sort of fx haptic feedback for when i get an epic point. I started lookimg into rhythm heaven and was looking dor something similar on mobile. So its missing that “satisfying” instant feedback when you score well. I also got to play moonlight sonata because i watched an ad and it was 6 MINUTES LONG i understand musicians have to sustain focus for longer, but for this game i was losing it by the 3 minute mark. I think the developers should adapt the songs such that they are shorter. Small thing until you try playing this for 6 minutes straight and start losing your streak. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-04-15, version 3.0* This game has a very simple art style and just FEELS very good to play. The gameplay itself is EXTREMELY smooth. The ONLY complaint I have about this game is that there just simply isn’t enough of it. Otherwise, perfect. ### 5/5 — Great game and Graphics!! *2024-02-20, version 3.0* I love this gameeee! It’s so fun and cute! Love the detail in the orchestra players as well! ### 5/5 — best rythm game for iphone *2024-02-16, version 3.0* super original, very fun gameplay, simple and fun. ### 5/5 — Please more songs *2024-02-12, version 3.0* This game is just beautiful and down right simple and amazing but I would definitely prefer if there were more songs to play also some more characters ### 5/5 — Greatest Rhythm Game In History *2024-01-15, version 3.0* I am not a fan of rhythm games. Games like OSU! are too intense for me, and I don’t want to put in hours of work to master games like that. This is singlehandedly the greatest rhythm game I have ever played. It’s simple, but complicated enough and demands enough focus to keep your attention. Also unlike other games the difficulty of the levels correlate nicely with their respective difficulty settings, and there aren’t any huge leaps in skill required from one to another. The OST is beautiful as well, there was thought put into the song choices. I like the graphics; in terms of art, the game reminds me of “Oh…Sir! The Insult Simulator” in the way that it is a bit silly looking but comes off as endearing and still maintaining the “seriousness” of an orchestra setting ### 5/5 — This really is an EPIC orchestra! *2023-11-05, version 2.8* The music is amazing, and I like the arrow mechanics. The pixel art is very well done, too! Definitely recommend. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2023-09-03, version 2.7* Awesome ### 5/5 — Great game for beat saber players *2023-08-17, version 2.7* I play beat saber and I’m really good at it playing a few expert plus songs. I saw this game just going through the App Store so I downloaded it. It is very difficult I can’t even beat normal difficulty on the third song so I definitely recommend playing this game for yourself. ### 5/5 — 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻 *2023-06-15, version 2.7* ❤️❤️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The arrows that move around completely ruin the game for me *2023-08-22, version 2.7* Surely you could’ve found another way to make the game harder than to just lie to the player? There’s hardly any skill involved at that point. Just hoping that the arrow displayed is actually the right direction. Takes all the fun out of the game for me ### 1/5 — Where is John? *2023-06-01, version 2.7* I was orchestrating today and I missed a note and John, my pianist, evaporated. Please bring him back, we all miss him very much. 😭😭😭😭💀💀 ### 1/5 — Needs a change *2020-07-14, version 2.2* This game is amazing. However, it needs a few changes so more people could notice it. We need more songs. When you first enter the game you are allowed to play 5 songs. There are other songs but you can only play them if you pay with money or watch an advert. It’s very disappointing. I doubt anyone would want to waste £2.00 on the 2 other skins and more songs. I hope you change soon enough. Thank you for reading (if you did ;-;). ### 1/5 — Boring. And it has NOTHING to do with conducting *2019-11-21* You actually should swipe according to the notes of each music’s melody. Nothing else. It’s pretty much those dancing games, but instead of stepping onto the right arrow, you just swipe them. I’m disappointed because I was expecting to conduct by the rhythm and not by melodies. Even though my review is low, I guess it should be fun for very young kids. ### 1/5 — Daddy and trains *2019-04-10, version 1.7* Police and I hope them ### 1/5 — Cant close ads, wrong layout orientation *2018-11-15* Cant close ads, wrong layout orientation ### 1/5 — This is a rather sad excuse for a musical game *2018-11-14, version 1.7* Seriously? There’s nothing really rhythmic about this at all, nor is it that interesting. ### 1/5 — Stupid game *2018-10-09, version 1.7* The Arrows go so fast I can’t catch up with them ### 1/5 — What happened? *2017-12-23* I used to really like this game, so I redownloaded it. The game has gotten harder since I had it, so I was moving through the levels slowly. Problem is that around Pachelbel the game started glitching out and wouldn't let me play the level. It would give me three stars and move on as if I had completed the level. This is really difficult because the game requires you, later on, to swipe two ways at once. It's very hard to jump into that without practice, and since so many of the levels won't let me play them, I just can't do the harder levels that I am being allowed to play. ### 1/5 — Trash *2017-11-30, version 1.5* It is nothing like a Orchestra where are the violins,violas🎻? There is no guitar in a Orchestra!This is not realistic ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really love it! *2026-08-25, version 27.0* This app is perfect for orchestra/band kids! It’s really fun and the animations are really cute! There’s a $2 purchase to unlock all songs and the other two “characters” but I think that’s totally reasonable and I’ll probably end up paying it at some point. And even if you don’t pay for it, the free options are enough to still have fun since you can play different difficulties for each piece! Definitely worth it! ### 5/5 — I have been playing Mozart Beethoven list all those types of artist. I love this game Epic Orchestra *2026-07-11, version 27.0* five stars ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-04-30, version 27.0* So addicting. Awesome compositions. Great musical sounds. Great gameplay. ### 5/5 — more songs please *2026-02-09, version 27.0* i need more songs asap this game is so fire tho ### 5/5 — Fun! *2025-09-01, version 3.0* I’m a violinist, and I love classical music. I have trouble finding both games for my phone, and music to play on my violin, as well as just classical music to listen to. This accomplishes all three of those at once! I typically don’t play rhythm games, since I saw FNF and thought it was annoying. I decided to give this a try, and enjoyed it. The arrows are ALMOST exactly on beat! I also find myself tapping my foot while listening, which is a good sign. ### 5/5 — Heavenly bro!!!!! *2025-08-28, version 3.0* It was so good and the music was fantastic and I thought it would be bad but just a 10/10 ### 5/5 — Perfect game *2025-06-18, version 3.0* This game was amazing super fun ### 5/5 — Game with a great skill progression!!! Finally!!! *2025-01-05, version 3.0* This is the best game I’ve seen on an AppStore yet!!! And it’s free!!! Though, do note you have the option to buy an extension for more songs. Great and challenging, worth your time for sure!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing game... but... *2024-11-21, version 3.0* This game is really fun 100%, but I think the addition of a difficulty above hard mode, like challenge mode would be a great addition to the game. I feel as if I can pass every hard difficulty song for the free to play section with only 1 or 2 misses, and I believe that a harder difficulty would add a great challenge and more fun to the game already. Also, I think that there should be more free to play songs available, but I understand. But either way this game is a masterpiece regardless. ### 5/5 — I love it! *2024-11-21, version 3.0* I play a lot of music games but usually quit because of storage issues, or too many adds. This app? None of those issues! I love the simplistic and adorable pixelated characters and how easy it is to pick up gameplay, while not getting bored! I play the viola and I love orchestral music! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
