Miss this game

An update so the game is even playable with your own music would be awesome

The worst game ever why this is for kids

This game needs to have the accurate score of the music if I get one star in one heart and the music is a three and 4.5 that is terrible

Itching for a comeback tour!

Been wanting an updated remix or entirely new game for a while now. Loving that the games are making it on steam and nintendo switch 2.

Canโ€™t lint to mp3 on my iPhone

Iโ€™ve playing in Samsung and I switched to iPhone but when I try linking to my mo3 the games disconnects and I start over please do u have any suggestions

This needs an update

If we canโ€™t use music from our own music library then take it out of the game, because every time I try to, it glitches me out of the game. Other than that I do like the game.
