### 3/5 — Change update please

*2021-02-16*

I want like version wii i wish that please

### 4/5 — Great Game but still a few Issues

*2019-05-08*

I’ve really loved playing this game! I was fascinated by the Wii demo and I never really bought that one and by time I wanted to the shop was closed, which was disappointing. I really would like to give this game 5 stars, but I see a few consistent issues.
1. The level not finishing corresponding to the Wii version.
I’m not sure if this is my device’s fault (IPhone SE) but the levels I play seem to finish earlier than normal. The only level that seemed unaffected at the time was Two Byte, which actually finished on normal timing. I was a bit disappointed to see only that level working properly.

2. Level music not on sync.
This also seems to happen when the level abruptly ends early. This one also is largely noticeable on a fast level like Sprnt, where the first taps are on a section that is far past where it is supposed to be. This happened to me in the final 5 levels.

3. Random speed ups.
This one is the one that makes me upset the most.
Occasionally when I play a level, cancel out of it, and go back into it, the level is much faster. I really dislike this because it can make a level near impossible to play and the only way to stop it is by fully closing the app.

These are a few things I hope can be patched. If you would like any more info please just drop a reply and I will email you. Otherwise great game, great concept, and I really hope to see much more from the likes of Different Cloth! :)

### 5/5 — iOS 11 update - amazing !!

*2017-12-29*

They really did it, I can’t believe it. 
Amazing, thanks guys for your hard work to make this game happen in comb with iOS 11. 

Very much appreciated I rly like this game a lot !

### 5/5 — Electronic music meets old school arcade

*2017-11-07*

One of my favourite games here on iOS. I love how it combines the visuals, colours and the music, and how they work all together. It’s simple but it works beautifully and I love playing this game.

### 5/5 — Can't sleep!!

*2017-06-23*

I can't put my phone down because of this game! I love it.

### 5/5 — Quality

*2016-09-23*

Awesome game.
Blend of great tunes, fun levels and progressive gameplay.

Definitely worth the monday.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2016-06-09*

Lousy controls timed to poorly synced levels with terrible dubstep

### 1/5 — This is a great game, but controls are difficult...

*2016-05-07*

I had this game on the wii, and it's waaaay too much fun 👍 But on the iPhone, it's hard to see things while your moving your phone around. It would be nice if you could adjust sensitivity so it will be more responsive with less movement. It also is a little slow in response, even on an iPhone 6. All of these together make it almost impossible to play 😕

### 4/5 — Super

*2014-05-11*

Bitte mehr Level

### 3/5 — It's okay overall

*2013-11-07*

The music is good and I like the generally chill feel of the game. However I think there can be some big presentation improvements. The game feels very choppy and rough. More should be done on making it a smooth experience, or even optimizing it for the retina display. Additionally I wish the controls were a bit smoother. Sometimes I feel like I tap a beat on time but it's still off. Finally, I wish every time I tapped the beat there were colorful flashes of lines across the screen, like in the Wii version. Overall I think this game should be suited for iOS more but the wii version still ends up better.
