### 1/5 — AI Sprites.

*2026-07-21*

I love this game. I’ve been playing it since December of 2025, leveling up my characters (Mostly Necke and Didi.) and I just turned Didi into a 5-Star hero…and her sprite is completely AI generated. I was already concerned with one of the opponents in level 222 (The Thieving Magpie Overture) looking extremely AI generated, but this has just confirmed my disappointment.
I’m glad I haven’t spent any money on this game because I don’t support the use of AJ one bit. This game is filled with handmade art, and the AI sprites clash so terribly and make me feel like I should play another game instead. Please fix this.

### 3/5 — Why?

*2026-03-17*

When I tried to upgrade my character with cards from another, why was I charged 6,000 coins???

### 5/5 — Old school gamer

### 5/5 — 걍 갓겜

*2025-10-09, version 3.0.0*

7년전 리뷰 1년전에 답글 다는 것 보고 깔음. 늦더라도 끝까지 게임 관리하는거 보고 걍 감동 받고 18스테이지까지함. 걍 옛날 리듬스타 그대로임. 재밌음 4키 나오면서 몸달아오름 옛날 기억나면서.

### 5/5 — 친구끼리

*2025-07-25, version 2.1.0*

진짜 추억생각나고 너무 좋아요 은근 어렵기도해서 깨는 맛이 있음ㅎㅎ 중독쩔어요 그런데 친구들끼리 순위경쟁하는것도 추가해주세요! 더 재밌을듯♡

### 5/5 — 너무 재미는 있는데

*2025-07-05*

재미있어서 일주일도 안되서 242레벨까지 왔습니다. 이때까지 현질안하고 뽑기로 나오는 캐릭터로 올 별 3개씩 해왔는데 여기서부터는 S등급 없거나 히어로 레벨이 낮으면 아예 다 퍼펙트 맞아도 게임을 깰수가 없네요.. 히어로 레벨을 올리자니 골드가 없고 골드를 억지로 모으고 있는데, 히어로 레벨 엻심히해서 3-4번을 더 올려도 게임을 깰 수가 없어요.. 이제 현질해야되는건가요… 현질 안하면 얼마나 더 노가다를 해야 게임을 깰 수 있는 건가요… 몬스터를 죽여야 별을 따는 시스템이 조금 불합리하긴 한 것 같습니다…. 며칠 더 시도해보고 안되면 지울려구요.. 허무하네요

### 4/5 — cant login

전 여자친구처럼 지우면 생각나서 
다시깔고 즐기고있는데 로그아웃이 되지않아 
옛 계정으로 로그인 할수가없는데 방법이없을까요 처음부터 다시하려니…

### 5/5 — A great game

*2024-12-09, version 2.1.0*

This game is honestly amazing, although it has a slow start, this game can easily be fun and replayable, and slowly progresses to extremely difficult nine lane songs for the most hardcore rhythm game players. It has many custom features such as tornado, which slides away note just before you tap them, fog that hides the notes when you hit them, and jail which pauses the notes before rapidly falling back down. This is a great game with a predominantly classical music theme.
