### 3/5 — It wouldn’t let me play

*2023-01-30, version 1.22.2*

Whenever I go to the app it will show me black and then just pop me back to the Home Screen. The trailer looks cool though.

### 3/5 — Apple Music

*2022-01-01, version 1.6.7*

Game Is Great 9/10 Music is relaxing, great with a controller.

But every time I try to play my music, The game either crashes or says cannot connect to apple music.

### 2/5 — Can’t connect to Apple Music

*2021-11-27, version 1.6.7*

It’s a really cool game, but my Apple Music won’t work with it. It keeps saying that it can’t connect. It would be a lot nicer if that option would work. 😂

### 3/5 — No Apple Music

*2021-09-25, version 1.6.7*

The Apple Music integration is broken, developer needs to fix this fast.
This game is more fun on a larger screen. The enemies move and attack in time to the music, so that’s cool.

### 2/5 — Apple Music link?

*2021-09-19, version 1.6.7*

I have an Apple Music subscription and it still won’t connect I am in the us and still having problems it’s honestly upsetting I thought this would be fun to play but if the music won’t connect than what’s the point of playing

### 3/5 — Okay

*2021-06-14, version 1.6.7*

This is an okay game, it doesn’t really help calm or reduce stress. It also say it can connect to apple music if you have a subscription, which I do, but will not connect any other circumstances.

### 2/5 — Bad UI

*2021-05-08, version 1.6.7*

So this game made a horrible first impression with these yellow rectangles one in the middle of the screen making whatever was behind it impossible to read.  The continue button is this similar yellow color with impossible to read text

As to the game itself, the timing is not completely clear as far as when to tap the screen to get a score.  More frustrating than fun

### 2/5 — Bad rhythm, Disappointing

*2021-01-18, version 1.6.7*

When I saw this game I was very excited because adore rhythm games and I’m a musician. But this game came with gargantuan problems. Rhythm is not in sync, it can’t connect to Apple Music, and there is no calibration option to fix this issue. I really hope all of this gets fixed cuz the game has a lot of potential, more in the calmness option, this it seems that this game is kind of abandoned, I really hope that is not the case.

### 2/5 — Errors

*2021-01-12, version 1.6.7*

I don’t know why I’m not able to connect with Apple Music, my connection is fine and I have been with Apple Music since for many years, the selection of music is not that great, I never even bothered to check out the game, if I can’t connect with Apple Music then I’m not bothering....

### 2/5 — Why Apple Music????

*2020-12-20, version 1.6.7*

The fact that you have to have a Apple Music subscription and also an Apple Arcade subcribtion really pisses me off.
If you can make it so you have music that’s original or don’t need to pay for. That would make it an automatic 5 star.

### 3/5 — I can’t open the app

*2020-11-25, version 1.6.7*

I don’t know if the game is good because every time I open the app it kicks me out after it says Apple Arcade. I don’t really think anyone else had this problem but I did. I would really like if you’d look into this problem and do the best you can, if you can’t fix it that’s fine I will just see if the problem is from my end. The game does sound great but I want to experience it myself. Thank you!

### 3/5 — This is a cool game.

*2020-06-24, version 1.6.7*

I enjoy playing, I like the music but wish it would refresh more often. Apple Music won't connect, I keep getting an error with that. Overall I keep it on my phone and that says enough.

### 2/5 — Won’t Connect

*2020-04-18, version 1.6.7*

I actually enjoy playing this game. But now it won’t let me connect to Apple Music in any mode at all- what started out as enjoyable has become super frustrating.

### 2/5 — The music is great, but that’s it.

*2020-03-10, version 1.6.7*

The music choice is top notch, but that’s about it for this game. The rest is all about the poor user experience. 

If you look from a 3rd person point of view, the background animation during the battle is cool and artistic. But from the view of the person who is playing it, you will find it’s way too overwhelming. The theme color of the background is red, most of the enemies are red, their bullets or laser are also red. It’s so hard to identify them during a intense fight. Only after one game, my eyes feel hurt. 

The clam mode is pretty clam, but way too simple. The dots and background star falls are not connected to the rhythm of the music, the song feels too long compares the “tap one button” gameplay. After 2 songs, I feel more boring than calm.

Even the main menu is confusing. I can understand, the creator of the game wants players to choose from 2 modes. But the button which is not been selected looks like it is disabled. The layout of the background is left and right, but the button layout is up and down, which is also conflicting with each other.

I love the idea of connecting space shooting and awesome music. But it is not as simple as just mixed them together. It needs more work to make the game feeling decent. Apparently, there’s still a long way to go for this game.

### 2/5 — Can’t play songs from library

*2020-02-02, version 1.6.7*

I like the app but every time I try to pick a song from my library the game crashes ... I’ve never had a iTunes app crash in my life ... but please fix this issue I would like to use the feature

### 1/5 — Doesn’t load…

*2023-10-19*

I was REALLY excited to play this game! But alas, I can’t… Every time I try to play the game, it simply crashes and exits the game. I’ve re-downloaded multiple times, reset my phone, all of the normal tech troubleshooting tricks but none of them work.

The game starts to load to a black screen, flickers, then goes back to the phone menu. The app stays active, but if I select it, it just does the same thing of going to black screen, flicker, then phone menu.

I’m using an iPhone 13 Pro Max, latest iOS, and don’t have this issue with any other Arcade games.

### 1/5 — No Calibration?!

*2023-01-19, version 1.22.2*

Nice calibration settings! And by that I mean it doesn’t exist! If you play rhythm games a lot, you know how crucial it is for a game to have calibration settings (for audio and video)! This makes it inaccessible for accurate play! 0 stars if possible.

### 1/5 — i cant even open the game

*2022-04-09, version 1.22.2*

i just downloaded this because i noticed it was a music based game, and when i try to open the game it crashes every single time. EVERY SINGLE TIME. please fix this.

### 1/5 — Crashes on start

*2022-02-04, version 1.22.2*

Honestly I loved this game, when it worked. It no longer opens. I removed and installed 3 times. I was excited to try the new update. Would be nice if developer had a working support site.

### 1/5 — Can’t connect to music

*2021-08-02, version 1.6.7*

It won’t allow me to connect to Apple Music and when you click on app support it takes you to an error page. What a waste for a game with such potential.

### 1/5 — Won’t connect with Apple Music.

*2021-03-17, version 1.6.7*

Seems like a good game but I don’t care for the included music. It says I can use my Apple Music subscription to play my own selection of music but keeps showing an error connecting to Apple Music. Support has not had a solution and said it’s an isolated issue. I have 4 other people that I personally know who have been told the same thing from support. If it were all free, I’d just delete it. Since they are both services I pay for, I expect a little more. But since Spire Blast came out with 2 levels and haven’t added any more since it came out, and now this, I think we might be due a discount. 
     I wouldn’t use this forum for feedback such as this normally, but I’ve tried all other support options to no avail. 
     I hope you can do better in the future.

### 1/5 — Issues with Apple Music

*2021-01-17, version 1.6.7*

Really enjoyed this game at first. Interesting concept enjoyed the music when playing. However when I finished all the songs that come with the game I went and clicked on the Apple Music option. Well it does not connect at all just says there is an issues. Looking online at other forums it look like this has been happening when it came out in 2019. Very disappointing! Game has some potential but I will be moving on from this game until they can fix the Apple Music issue. One star because I finished all he songs in like an hour and now have nothing.

### 1/5 — Not at all relaxing

*2019-12-02, version 1.3.12*

This game seems designed to get me to subscribe to Apple Music. There are eight free music songs, none of which are relaxing in any way. The intro music is relaxing, but it's not an option for the game. I can't access the music I paid for in iTunes, some of which would be relaxing, but I could have playlists from Apple Music if I subscribe. Not interested.

Also gameplay is confusing and not relaxing at all.

Did I mention this game is not relaxing?

### 1/5 — confusing and incomplete

*2019-10-12, version 1.3*

Wow, what a weird app. This is a concept, not a complete game. The first tip of this is the first menus where it’s hard to tell which mode you’re selecting. Sad to see such a terrible interface have Apple’s name on it. 

Also, this game is in dire need of a tutorial. It also needs way more mechanics and enemies in each of its modes. Finally, the lack of different mechanics and enemies makes it boring really fast (just after 10 mins!).  Enjoy the concept, but that’s all this is ... a concept not a real game.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2022-05-15, version 1.22.2*

I don't really know what to think of this game, when I think music based games that involve fighting I think of Muse Dash but this is nowhere compared to it and sometimes I hit it on beat but it calls it a good and I don't really feel really pumped up or nearly anything when I play this game, it's a good game but not a game I'd tell other rhythm game beat em up players about

### 5/5 — Wow

*2020-02-21, version 1.6.7*

There is so no way I can put into words how much I love this app. I was already happy with the Apple Arcade subscription but I would gladly pay that amount for this app alone. I simply would like to thank the developers for such a beautiful and calming experience.

### 5/5 — Relaxing

*2020-01-03, version 1.3.12*

Fun games that can either be super relaxing or super exciting depending on which mode you pick. Tons of fun!

### 5/5 — Anxiety buster

*2020-01-02, version 1.3.12*

It took a bit of getting used to, and I’m not a huge fan of the stress release mode thus far, but holy cow the calmness mode absolutely puts you in a whole other place once you zone in. Also, 2 of the symphony songs back to back drop my heart rate by 15 beats per minute every time according to my Fitbit. Pretty impressive for someone who constantly runs high from anxiety!

### 5/5 — AMAZING GAME!!

*2019-10-23, version 1.3*

This game is just straight up fun for any part of the day! the stress release mode is amazing and so much fun and the calming mode is a nice way to just relax and go with the flow of the music! this game is a must try

### 5/5 — Awesome on Apple TV

*2019-10-12, version 1.3*

This game is a blast to play w/a controller on Apple TV. Beautiful visuals, great music & great shooter action (I’ve mostly played the stress relief side) - think “Tempest” with a better soundtrack!

### 5/5 — Music and gaming done right.

*2019-10-11, version 1.3*

So sick how the game plays with Apple Music. I downloaded this at work and now all I want to do is binge play!

### 4/5 — Love this one.

*2021-12-16, version 1.6.7*

I am really enjoying this game thus far and traditionally games to not retain my attention. I only wish my Apple Music subscription would work.

### 4/5 — Good but a problem

*2021-03-13, version 1.6.7*

When I go into the game it immediately crashes so can you please fix this. Other than that I like the game

### 4/5 — Simple and fun- no rhythm

*2020-08-07, version 1.6.7*

Cool game— I love the Stress Release mode— the point is easy to understand and the music isn’t bad. But the gameplay is rarely in time with the rhythm like it supposedly says— I would know, I’m a percussionist. 

Calm mode makes absolutely no sense and it would be nice if there were instructions for it 🤷🏻‍♀️ Not calming at all.

Like the game though— I like pointing and shooting and not worrying about limited lives or ammo. It’s nice to *just play.*

### 4/5 — “Error communicating with Apple Music”

*2019-11-12, version 1.3.12*

Great game. Enjoying it. When connecting to songs through Apple Music receiving the above error message. I’ve looked online, but unable to find any explanations for the error. I’ve done the basic resets and reconnects, nothing has worked. Any help would be greatly appreciate.
