All the best elements in one game
First off, to the Developers:
The time and effort you’ve put in to making this game accessible and enjoyable clearly shows. I look forward to the next wave of stages and whatever games you release in the future.
Review:
As a gamer I grew up obsessed with rhythm games: first Elite Beat Agents, Rhythm Thief, DDR, etc. I feel like Guitar Hero and Rock Band are givens, but I’ve put in some serious hours into those too.
Eventually I ended up latching on strongest to DJ Hero 1 and 2, and what felt like the most obscure: Frequency. Those were games that were made for people like me who weren’t the best at guitars or drumming but feeling the flow and playing in a different way.
Since then I’ve played a ton of rhythm game apps, some of them decent, a few of them great, and a lot that missed the mark completely. Rarely does a music game-let alone a currently free app-scratch the itch that my favorite childhood/teenage games left.
This is the first time I’ve felt like there’s a true spiritual successor of various rhythm games I’ve loved, from the music to the game play. Replay value is surprisingly high with new ways to combine songs and play styles every time and it never feels stale. Even if your latest set isn’t your best, you still accumulate fans, providing incentive to finish each round instead of restarting when you mess up.
Keep em comin’!
Tl;dnr: 100/10 game. Give it a shot. You’ll love it.

Just downloaded the app
I downloaded the app today, it said I had to update it, I was really confused. It seemed really cool though and I wanted to try it out😭
Response from developer
Sorry about that — there was a server issue on our end, now fixed. Open it again and you'll go straight in.
Fantastic & fun!
I enjoy playing music & rhythm games, and Loop Drop is easily one of the best. You actually feel like you’re there mixing the track in real time rather than just tapping random buttons, which feels very satisfying. The crossfader works a treat, and hearing the crowd go off when you pull off a perfect drop is just brilliant. Super addictive and well worth a download!

Musical mini games!
love the music, easily some of the best I’ve heard in a mobile game, I just unlocked the pads mini game, really gives me DJ Vibes!
Response from developer
Glad the pads mini game landed. The music's the heart of it, so that means a lot. More venues and tracks coming.
Five stars!
Super fun game with vibey tunes, helping coordinate my beat drops ever so well. Great for fun and improving your music skills :)
Response from developer
"Helping coordinate my beat drops" is exactly what we were going for. Thanks for the five stars.
I don’t normally like music games
But I love this one. I have already unlocked Berlin, next stop Las Vegas. The music sounds great too, are these available anywhere?
I am enjoying the different mini games (X-fader, lanes and pads). They are rewarding in different ways. Think pads will be most rewarding but take longest to master

Response from developer
Not yet — they're original, made for the game. We'd love to put them out properly, no date yet. "Rewarding in different ways" is exactly right, that's the whole idea — no single right way to be good at it.
Really solid for a game that just released
I like the idea that you can play each “zone/city” with three different modes, and sometimes in the same attempt you can play multiple gamemodes. The “DJ-style” of the game made me play a lot more this game.
However, while I was playing this game, I noticed that the 3-lane mode sometimes registered my notes way later than when I tapped, and in very rare circumstances it didn’t register at all. This made me avoid at all costs this mode, which is sad because I really like the 3-lane mode.
Is the first time I see the 6-squares mode, and I really loved that mode. However, sometimes is confusing when exactly you need to tap to get “Perfect” notes.
Something I would like to see in this game is a gamemode where you can choose whichever song or gameplay type you want, in which you can play as much or as long as you want (like a free run). There were some songs I really liked but they barely appeared. I believe this can also help with the problem of repetition because you can try different song combos that you normally can’t, or rarely see.
I’m looking forward to new updates, this game have potential

Thanks for the detail, this is exactly the feedback we want. The 3-lane input timing you hit is fixed in the current version (1.2.4) - worth another go, it's the mode we'd most want you back on. The free-run idea is on our list too. Keep it coming, we really appreciate it.
