### 3/5 — Too easy

*2023-12-15*

Even the hardest pattern is easy, also after you watch the ad the game just freezes and only play the menu music

### 2/5 — I don’t want a premium pass

*2023-05-05*

You literally can’t see any of the cutscenes or the main menu in the beginning during the tutorial because a “premium pass” sales pitch blocks the entire screen the entire time. I just opened the game for the first time maybe chill out on trying to make me purchase stuff?

### 3/5 — Cool game but some problems

*2023-02-06*

When you begin to play it is fun but when you progress it gets harder and there are many bugs like my daily wheel spin not working. I barely get enough gold to upgrade my good gear. There is no way to grind gold and my match making doesn't find anyone to pvp with so it becomes boring for me. I Eventually when you reach the endgame and finished a season pass the game starts to get boring repeating battles to complete the season pass and it is so long it takes so long to complete over a day of gameplay especially when your max lvl and f2p. Also there there has been this lag glitch for a long time though it has been reduced its annoying when you lag at a bad time. Overall it is a fun game to play but slowly becomes a simulator and then becomes boring when you finish story mode.

### 2/5 — Ehhh no

*2022-11-27*

I love tapping Beat games and have played MANY. This idea is fresh I do like it, but as for as the game play goes it’s the same stuff over, and over, and over again. Yes every weapon has its own song you have to learn, but once you get a really good weapon that you don’t have to change because it’s got the highest attack, the song repeats, every single time. I also find that the timing is wrong as well in the songs, screws up the rhythm and then causes you to miss notes. It’s a fun idea, but the game itself sucks. Find some way to make it more entertaining and then you’ll have something solid here.

### 3/5 — :)

### 4/5 — Fun but repetitive

*2022-11-03*

I love the style and premise, the overall gameplay is fun, but the songs are very repetitive. Would love if there was more variety

### 4/5 — I love the concept

*2022-10-31*

I really like this game, I’m certain I’ll end up playing till the end of it and some. But there are some flaws, though fixable.

First and foremost, the lag. I have an iPhone 12, but the game has some choppy like lag 20-30 minutes into the game. (With some very minor lag even at startup) At times it gets pretty bad and either freezes mid match, then suddenly catches back up and causes you to miss notes, or sometimes it doesn’t even register. Restarting the game seems to “reset” the lag. Idk why it does this, but it is a bit bothersome.

Secondly, the energy is abnoxious. It’s not exactly the most fun only getting to play the game for 30 minutes then having to wait an hour or so to play again.

Otherwise, a few less important (Moreso quality of life changes) things. A setting to adjust the timing with the music would be very helpful, especially for Bluetooth earbuds. More of a variety of music would be nice, though I don’t think it’s too repetitive yet. And personally, other than the two main points, I would most like a more challenging route or something. I’m fairly experienced with rhythm games, so thus far (mid desert) it’s been extremely easy, and tbh a little tedious. But again, I’m fairly experienced with rhythm games, so I’m used to having to grind a bit to get to anything more challenging. Most rhythm games don’t take into account experienced players.

Extra note: I saw some reviews mentioning how there are notes that “aren’t related to the song”. This is not true. They’re just not musically inclined :)

Anyways though, a fairly critical review, but that’s mostly because I like the game. I would love to see it continue to grow. 8/10

**Developer response:** Hi there Zitriphyer17,
Thank you very much for your review! We are really happy that you liked it and that you took the time to give a feedback that we can use to improve the game.

We just released an update that fixes the lag issue, please let us know it works for you! 
For the energy, you can get extra wining in the pvp and completing daily challenges and achievements, we are also developing new features to reward more energy, stay tuned.

About the more challenging mode, we know that for experienced rhythm players can be a little easy at some points, but we are developing (and hope to have in the next two months) a new mode that will be more challenging in that aspect. If you like you can join our Discord server, we would love to share some of the ideas and have your feedback of future updates with you!

### 3/5 — Good idea, fun to play, too many issues.

*2022-10-19*

It’s a fun game with a nice premise, but there are problems. 

First, the music is very repetitive and doesn’t always fit the beats you need to press on.
Second, some of the patterns require awkward finger twister to preform. 
Third, the game drains battery pretty quickly and even in low graphics mode, the game’s visuals will lag or pause at times but the actual game will keep going, which can cause failure. 
Fourth, the game crashes. 
Fifth, the online PvP is very laggy and can cause you to lose just based on the poor connection issues.

**Developer response:** Hi there,
Thank you very much for your review! We really appreciate the feedback ❤️.
We just released an update with fixes for the lag issue, we hope you can update it and keep playing and enjoying the game.

### 3/5 — Could be really fun

*2022-10-18*

Fun game to play nice concept as well but the input lag when playing makes it almost impossible to beat harder levels cause it misses even if you tapped properly. Also the stamina drain in the game is too high can maybe get like 30 min of gameplay in with full stamina

**Developer response:** Hi there,
Thank you very much for your review, we really appreciate the feedback.
We are sorry you were experiencing lag issues, we just released an update to the game that fixes those problems. We hope you can keep playing and enjoying the game.

### 2/5 — Fun but laggy as f %*

*2022-10-16*

So I’ve been having pretty good fun with this game, but it’s so laggy at times and even was so bad that it caused my phone to freeze (iPhone XR) for roughly half a minute. Definitely needs improvements.

Edit: Forgot to mention, the hit registration on notes is wack. I’ve lost to the same boss roughly 5 times because I can’t hit a defense note.

**Developer response:** Hi DevilishWeb3692,
Thank you very much for your feedback, it is really important for us. 
We just released an update that fixes the issue with the lag and freezes. We hope you can update it and keep playing and enjoying the game.

### 4/5 — Fun Game!

*2022-10-14*

The idea of this game is unique and I really like it. It’s fun despite a few little issues that I personally have with it. First one is that a lot of the rhythms don’t really match up with the music of the game. This throws me off quite a bit and I found I had to play without the sound on at all. The variety of songs could be fixed as well as it’s very repetitive, though I sort of understand why. Another issue I have is that it lags right in the middle of a stage making me fail it. The sound doesn’t lag, only the visuals. This could be an issue with my device but I’ve never had this issue with any other games or rhythm games. These issues aside it’s a fun game and I’m curious to see where it goes and what they improve in the future. Though I do recommend being able to change how your character looks aside from the armor. Like with hair, gender, face and such. Unless there is a feature for this and I haven’t found or unlocked it yet. Regardless, give this game a go as this is just my personal opinion.

**Developer response:** Hi SylverGemini,
Thank you very much for your review and feedback, we really appreciate it! ❤️
We are releasing an update end of October with fixes and improvements for the performance of the game, we hope this will allow you to play with no lag. The update also comes with new content! We have in mind developing more ways to customize your character in the near future. If you like you can join our Discord channel to share with us your thoughts about the rhythms and the game in general!

### 3/5 — Fun but it half the times makes you miss

*2022-10-14*

The game is fun and all but it irritates me that even when I press on the incoming beats despite pressing it at the right time it doesn’t register and I end up almost dying despite it not being my fault. I still like the game but like I said it’s a bit irritating to die over something not my fault and lose the energy for it

**Developer response:** Hi there,
Thank you for your review! The feedback is really important to us, we are releasing an update in less than two weeks that will fix the lagging and performance issues, that should help with the tapping not being taken into account. We really hope you can keep playing and enjoying the game.

### 4/5 — Freezing during gameplay

*2022-10-14*

This game is well made, concept and execution of the game is good (would be cool if some more music was added down the the road) but there’s one issue I'm dealing with, that is freezing, usually I’d be playing and 70% of the rounds I play, the screen stutters and freezes, some rounds I can play through it, some I lose very fast due to being unable to tap most tiles. I’m sure on higher end devices this isn’t a problem, I'm on an iPhone SE 2 which can run most games with no issues. The only thing I can recommend is adding a low detail mode (not sure how difficult this would be to implement). this would make the game much more playable to people on lower end devices and allow the game to  use a less power and not lag as much. Other then that, I think it is a good game.

**Developer response:** Hi Pineapple Salad 123,
Thank you very much for your review! We really appreciate the feedback ❤️. We are releasing an update end of October with a lot of fixes for performance! At the moment we have a "SD quality" toggle button on the settings, that should improve the game performance. We hope the following release will fix the issues on your phone and let you keep enjoying the game.

### 3/5 — Lagging

*2022-10-12, version 0.6.1 Data fixes + Videos in Metadata Again*

FIX THE LAG PROBLEM!!! IT LAGS DURING BATTLES AND EFFECTS MY PHONE SO PLEASE FIX THE LAGS

### 2/5 — States better than FNF. Not even close to being good as FNF

*2022-10-12*

The game stated in one of its ads “tired of fnf games? Try us were more fun!” Etc, but when I tried it, it’s just a waterdown beat game, the tap tiles have no rhythm and it’s like a deaf and blind mind trying to make a rhythm game, it hurts to hit the note but it just doesn’t match with the rhythm of the music. Not very fun anyways, another cash grab. Only good thing was it tried to be original and fun but it failed.

**Developer response:** Hi PMBHero,
Thank you very much for your review. We really appreciate the feedback!
We just released a new update that fixes some issues, we hope it improves you gaming experience. 
About the taps, the sequences of notes are unique for each card you have, so the taps are based on the rhythm of the song and not on the melody. Hope this helps!

### 2/5 — Great idea, poor execution

*2022-10-12*

It’s a great game idea, and it’s pretty enjoyable. But the game is just lacking in many areas.
The game stole many things, such as sound effects and the ui, from other games. For being a game about music, the music is way too subtle. The PVP aspect of it is completely unfair against an opponent that spent money on the game. And the game is EXTREMELY laggy for some reason. Not sure what the problem is, because it lags when you’re playing offline.

**Developer response:** Hi there,
Thank you very much for your review and feedback, we really appreciate it.
We just released an update with fixes for the lag. We hope you can try it again and keep playing.

### 1/5 — Bugged Mess. Pay-To-Play.

*2024-12-24*

This game does not regenerate energy at all. Played the game and used all energy til 3/30 remaining. Closed the game. Opened the game after about 4 hours and was still at 3/30 energy. Closed the game again. Opened the game after another 2-3 hours. Still at 3/30 energy. RIP. PAY TO PLAY Game.

### 1/5 — It's not even good

*2022-12-06, version 0.8.0 Christmas + Snow Castle*

This doesn't even work most of the time. The double long tiles doesn'tregister.Also the game loading takes so long to load. It's bad l. Will not recommend

### 1/5 — Gotta watch an ad

*2022-11-10*

You can wait for your lightning to fill, but when you try to start a campaign or anything, your 5 lighning will go everytine you click the play button, until you’re at Zero and game asks you to watch an ad.

### 1/5 — doesn’t register tap

*2022-10-28*

when I press both keys at different times, 90% of the time it doesn’t register one of the tap.

**Developer response:** Hi there,
Thank you very much for your review. We appreciate the feedback. We are sorry you encountered issues while playing, we just released an update that should fix the error with the tap. Please let us know if the game works now!

### 1/5 — Impossível jogar

*2022-10-21*

Trava tanto que o telefone quase explode, trava em tudo, até em anúncio. Não consigo entender como um jogo simples consegue pesar tanto ao ponto do sistema travar. E mais, as batalhas se tornam inúteis, pois trava no meio do jogo e tu perde. Enfim, o jogo é muito bacana mas desse jeito fica impossível!

**Developer response:** Olá Gerson Azevedo,
Obrigado por sua revisão. Lamentamos que você tenha experimentado problemas com o jogo. 
Acabamos de lançar uma atualização com muitas correções que devem permitir que você jogue novamente. Esperamos que você possa continuar jogando e se divertindo com o jogo.

### 1/5 — Pay 2 Win

*2022-10-09, version 0.6.1 Data fixes + Videos in Metadata Again*

Game is a money grab. 10/10. If you pay for the gear etc, you can’t even compete as a free to play player. The people that pay will have weapons that hit you for most of your health, so even if you play perfectly.. your “block” damage is going to be them basically slamming through your shield lol. Very dumb concept for free players. Only way you can win in this game is to pay. 

I’m in platinum league and have finally gotten to the point that my 50-100 damage doesn’t compare to the players I’m going against with 100-600, and that isn’t 1 - 3 players that I’ve gone against. It’s all of them.

### 1/5 — Mid

*2022-10-09, version 0.6.1 Data fixes + Videos in Metadata Again*

Very little song and pattern variety with a rythym game diversity is very important

### 1/5 — Worst lag I’ve ever experienced in a video game

*2022-10-07*

Like literally unplayable. I can tolerate some lag, but in a RHYTHM game where timing is literally everything, there’s just no reason to keep losing when it’s not my fault

**Developer response:** Hi Livingfortodat,
Thank you very much for your review. We are very sorry you are having issues with the game. We are releasing performance fixes in the next update so the game works smooth on all phones, we hope you can try it again soon!

### 5/5 — Well put together

*2023-06-26*

Very fun game and addictive in my opinion. I think anyone who enjoy beat or Rhythm games should definitely download it, you won’t be disappointed. Try the Realms First if your new to beat games to get you used to the gameplay before you try to play online

### 5/5 — It’s good, especially if you have prior skill in rhythm games

*2022-10-08*

The game is great, no random ads every time I beat a level and the combat is good and easy to pick up. The only downside was it’s was laggy but that’s probably the XR on low battery lol. That aside, 5/5

**Developer response:** Hi Phill:X,
Thank you very much for your feedback! We really appreciate it. We are working on improving the performance so the game runs smooth on all phones, we hope you keep playing and enjoying it!
