Guys I have the guns

Guns???

It cool

I love it’s the best way for add

holy WOW

THIS GAME IS ACTUALLY GOOD. oh my godnes. i really like it.

not as good as it seems

i’m writing this review to potentially debunk what might be bots flooding this app with 5-star ratings.
don’t get me wrong, there are some good parts to this game, but i personally believe the cons outweigh the pros too much for me to recommend you trying it yourself. so allow me to go through them one by one:

PROS:
- simple gameplay
- thorough tutorials
- smooth learning curve
- good selection of genres
- bonus round is a nice touch

CONS:
- energy recharge is painfully slow
- no indication of energy recharge
- does not look or sound as good as the ads
- all audio is just midi
- hit window is inconsistent in fast parts
- energy is mandatory for literally everything
- i still don’t know what a “ginst” is

if you like this game and want to buy the unlimited energy pack, all the power to you, especially seeing as it only costs a dollar. but if you haven’t tried it and you’re hoping for a good rhythm game, save your time and money. find something else.

Very good

I wasn’t exactly expecting this to be as good as it, but I was happily surprised. I genuinely have a lot of fun playing this. It definitely needs a little more polishing up when it comes to bugginess and certain mechanics (some seem a bit delayed), but nothing really makes it unplayable. I’m not sure if there is a level creator, but I would love it if there is one. Totally recommend this
