Without new free songs or even songs to purchase. (Which I’ve brought all) there is no incentive to keep on playing as often. No new songs to complete. **Developer response:** I appreciate that you like the game. I haven’t forgotten about it, but I have had to reduce frequency of updates due to budgetary reasons. Please spread the word of the game, and I will be happy to continue adding new songs to it. Reviews like this also help me recognize the interest in the game. Thank you for playing! ### 5/5 — Literally obsessed *2022-02-17* I play this game everyday. Impossible levels are really difficult but not impossible. I'm so excited for every new update to come!!! ### 5/5 — Plz add this song *2022-02-05, version 2.1* Hello creator, i saw u on tiktok making ur game and i would appreciate it if u add the song, “Super Idol”. It is one of my favorite songs and i would follow u if u make the song. ### 5/5 — The song fairytale is so good *2022-01-17, version 2.1* Its much better than piano tiles This one is more chill and less competitive but kinda artistic side than games i think ### 5/5 — Best mobile game ever *2021-12-29* This game has clearly had a tone of thought and work put into it, and yet there are few in app purchases and no ads? A bunch of unknown songs of wide variety, and yet you only have 44 discord members and have slightly hidden your tip page! I’m sure this will blow up eventually, there was so much thought out into it! ### 5/5 — TAKE MY MONEY *2021-12-13, version 2.1* Definitely buying Molodx right now. You did a superb job on the game and I wanna see what else it has to offer. Couple things to enhance the experience. PLEASE make speed multipliers and maybe even starting points for people to practice and master the really hard levels and especially their rhythm versions. Theres a level I would love to be able to play all the way through but some parts need to be slowed so I can learn them first. Other than that, I think the game has close to 0 flaws. Good job ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2021-11-27* I’m rlly bad at it but it’s a really enjoyable game. The music is really diverse and very enjoyable to listen to. No ads which is great but I also feel there should be. The game is to well made for them to not make a few bucks off of it. ### 5/5 — (: *2021-11-26* I enjoy the idea of no in game currency, ads, i was really taken by the intro when you open the app. Overall gameplay was smooth and satisfying (: very well done ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2021-11-25, version 2.0* This is truly the greatest rhythm game I’ve ever played on a phone! Great controls, the rhythm mode is especially satisfying! I look forward to this developers future endeavors! Not to mention the great indie talent! ### 5/5 — OMG *2021-11-20, version 2.0* Came straight from tiktok and omg!!! GIVE THIS NON AD, FREE, AMAZING GAME SOME LOVE ### 5/5 — So good *2021-11-07, version 2.0* I was really bad at first, but like you just get good and then just put everything in like hard mode. PLEASE I ALREADY FINISHED AT THE FREE SONG PLEASE ADD MORE SONGS ### 5/5 — It’s really fun! *2021-10-21* I love this app so much and I’ve just started playing! ### 3/5 — No ads but the songs aren’t horrible and there are very few. *2021-10-20* The songs are really bad, I’m sorry but I can’t really listen in to the songs and this is not a preference but seriously try to make it more interesting (it’s hard to explain). Good job on making it with no ads it was fine at first but the songs didn’t impress there are very few songs. You guys did a good job tho. Here’s the thing if u guys enjoy the game then that’s for u. ### 5/5 — lolzers *2021-10-18* OUR TABLE!!!! ITS BROKEN!!! ### 5/5 — It’s good *2021-10-13* Oh no! Our table… It’s broken😥 ### 3/5 — Seems fun, but… *2021-10-05, version 2.0* I just installed the game, and started playing. It went through an intro saying it’s a “one of a kind game” with “no currencies, no in-app purchases” and so forth. Then I saw a store. With in-app purchases. I get that every company wants money eventually, but at least stick to your word. Other than that, it looks nice, and the different songs seem nice. ### 5/5 — love the app *2021-10-02* I seen your tiktok and i decided to install it and i already injoy it and has no ads like they promised ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ur app sucks *2021-10-01* Terrible music and false advertisement ### 1/5 — Not fun *2021-04-03, version 1.5.0* Not fun songs boring no feedback when I hit a note just play piano tiles ### 1/5 — No *2021-03-14, version 1.5.0* This game is okay but I hate the false advertising. They say that you don’t need to earn things or pay money but then it literally has in app purchases AND you have to get one perfect. This app is so frustrating and o do NOT like it. This app is super hard and the music is also not even that good. There is not even much music. It’s just like “Christmas carol”. ### 1/5 — To hard to play *2021-03-13* Nice Game, but its hard to hit the nodes ### 2/5 — Not fun or beginner friendly. *2021-12-08, version 2.1* It's really nice that you've created an ad free game that supports creators but the gameplay is clunky and the slow boring music Ik greeted with in the first levels doesn't make me want to keep replaying till I get it. It definitely does not feel like a game I'm going to come back to get good enough at to play potentially more fun levels either. Thanks. ### 2/5 — Too challenging *2021-07-21, version 1.6.1* The way it's set up is so you have to hit the notes so perfectly that it's almost impossible to get them all. I love how it's supporting indie artists but I just couldn't get past the first level with all 3 stars when it's supposedly the easiest level. ### 2/5 — Nope *2021-03-20, version 1.5.0* I played the game, saying that there is no app purchases, obviously that there is purchases. Also when I try to hit notes, sometimes when I press it at the right time it still says I missed it. ### 2/5 — Too difficult *2020-12-05* The intro of the game is promising and nice. But the first songs which should be quite easy were already difficult, because it’s really hard to hit the notes perfectly on point. And I’m a pianist with a feel for rhythm. On a real keyboard I could play those songs with eyes closed, but in the game a barely hit something. That’s not very relaxing unfortunately. ### 3/5 — its an ok game *2022-09-25, version 2.4* the challenge mode is too hard and the chill mode is too easy to the point its boring wish there was a mode that had the difficulty of challenge mode but doesnt spam a bunch of notes across the board at once making my brain explode trying to hit them all in succession ### 3/5 — its ok *2022-02-21, version 2.2* most of the songs don’t really strike me as great and the 2 that do are mediocre and behind the paywall (which is only 5 dollars but eh…)concept is cool but so far its pretty so so ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun and good music. *2026-03-22, version 2.6* Have really enjoyed it. ### 5/5 — A BLAST *2025-12-23* So much fun ! ### 5/5 — Melodious *2025-09-20, version 2.6* This is a wonderful app! Very enjoyable, pleasurable and great for all ages! I love Melod! ### 5/5 — Brilliant Game For Guitar Hero Players *2024-06-29* Always loved the GH and RB games, I’ve been getting along with fun festival, but this is so good when you’re away from home. **Developer response:** I’m glad you love it! ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2024-02-03* I first found out about the development of the first game disc brick on tiktok and downloaded to see if it truly was ad free cause most mobile games are nearly unplayable due to the copious ads so i gave disc brick a try and as an avid brick breaker fan i loved it then when i seen they were developing a music game i was super excited as well as my inner child because piano tiles was on of the first mobile games i ever played and i was obsessed with it great game and great people behind it keep it up!!! ### 5/5 — Loving this *2023-07-01* Roger you saint you solved mobile gaming. keep em coming :0 ### 5/5 — Amazing!!! *2023-02-19* This is an amazing game again! I love how there’s no ads and the game looks amazing! My only requests is that make it so you can change the speed of the game as sometimes it can be a little bit hard. Also I would love to see more songs as sometimes your limited a little. I overall love this game and if you love music you will love this game! ### 5/5 — Free, no ads, amazing music *2022-07-05, version 2.3* SHORT REVIEW: Some in-app purchase options but they aren’t being shoved at you 24/7, no ads which is amazing, the music is unique and different. Not something you’d typically find in an app such as this, which is refreshing and exciting. LONG REVIEW: I found out about this app on Tik Tok, and I was a bit skeptical at first. I used to use BeatStar, which is a high-quality app similar to this, but in-app purchases were being shoved down my throat every minute so I deleted the game. This game is different. The “no ads” holds true, so you can truly enjoy the game. I also love that this game developer doesn’t use typical pop songs, but instead songs that seem more indie and alternative. I’ve loved discovering new music that I typically wouldn’t be able to find. If I had to share a suggestion, it would be neat if there were Spotify links, or something similar, for the songs so that they’re easier to find on music platforms. Overall, this is a great app and there’s literally no con to downloading. I use this game constantly! ### 5/5 — This Game Is Incredible! *2022-04-25* This is a masterpiece of a rythm game and has incredible music compositions it and songs from indie artists. This is a fun and challenging game that is fun to play anywhere and doesn’t require Internet access. I’ve played this game at school, on an airplane, and on a cruise ship and it has always made my day. I can’t wait for future songs and updates and am excited for what’s next on MeloD!!1!1!1!1!1!!2!2!1!!2!2!1!!!!!!!!!! A couple things that could be added are - Landscape Mode Play the game horizontally (yes) - Practice Mode Be able to practice a specific part of a song to get it right (would be cool) - Adjustable Scroll Speed Be able to adjust how fast the visual of the notes come down (it good) **Developer response:** Thank you for the update. As of last week, I have added a rudimentary practice mode. It allows you to practice sections of songs at slower speeds. I will be working on making this practice mode more comprehensive with future updates. As for note scroll speed, there is an option for this in the settings, next to the calibration settings. I’m glad you like the game! ### 5/5 — love love LOVE this game!! *2022-03-12* This game is amazing—some very interesting songs, nice feel, and of course, no ads! I did recently have one small issue, though, which is that after a month or two of inactivity, I opened the game to find that I had lost stars? They’ve dropped below 120, which is annoying since I can no longer play the final song until I get those stars again. Is this a syncing issue, or is this a result of some new feature? I don’t really mind having to work back up again, as I actually really enjoy this game, but I guess I was just curious! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
