### 2/5 — 조작방식이 그닥

*2026-08-21*

화면 잡고 돌리는걸로 노트 대처가 딱 떨어지게 되는것도 아니라 매번 정신없고 노트 거리감이 어색함 굳이 몸 꾸겨넣어가면서 할정도로 재밌지도 않고 노래도 별거없고

### 5/5 — 游戏要钱，啥都要钱

*2026-08-19*

游戏要钱，曲包要钱，单曲要钱，你咋不掉钱眼里

### 2/5 — 企画は良いし期待もしていたが。

*2026-06-14*

いかんせんストーリーの更新が壊滅的に遅く、目新しい要素も増えない。
イベント限定の譜面(ランダムでたまに出るスコアに記録されないやつ)は目新しさこそあるが、音に合わせるものではなくなっているため、音ゲーでわざわざやるようなことではない。

システムは音ゲーとしては新しく、レースゲームと融合しているかのような感覚であり、宇宙船を操縦しているという設定に見える世界観と相まって素晴らしい。

iPhoneでのプレイはフリックノーツを回転で取った時の判定や回転ノーツの判定に遅延が見られるのでプレイするならAndroid端末をおすすめします。

### 5/5 — Sooooo fun

*2026-06-12*

Even know that main story at ch.3 need to pay, it still a fun game to play. The method to play is good and it have a fit difficulty to each song

### 4/5 — こんなラグバグ発生してたか？

*2026-06-09*

久しぶりにやってみたらラグとバグが尋常じゃない位に起きてびっくりした。ノーツ押しても無反応。曲が再生されないが主。
正直音ゲーとしてどうかと思う。ゲーム性や曲は大好きなので本当に直して頂きたい。

### 5/5 — Best Mobile Rhythm Game!!!

*2026-05-17*

This game is extremely fun, it has some really great songs, and a shockingly good story mode. There are only 2 minor things that I would change about the game:
1. Give a toggle that would enable challenge hp on all songs
2. Create a badge that can be unlocked by getting all perfect except for 1 good on a lvl 4 song, and then give it to me 3 times.
Aside from those things, it’s an incredible game!

### 5/5 — 다 좋은데

*2026-03-21*

번역좀 제대로해주세요 돈내고게임하는데 뭔소린지도 모르겠는 스토리읽으면 현타옴. 번역만 빼면 진짜 다좋음

### 5/5 — 완벽에 가까운 리듬겜

*2026-01-22*

진짜 다 좋은데 해드셋하고 싱크가 조금 안맞는거 빼고는 정말 완벽한 게임입니다.

### 4/5 — 抽风lab不建议加入活动

*2026-01-10, version 2.17.1*

第三章开始之后的曲目越来越难可以理解，新的lab一个比一个抽风不像是给人打的完全无法理解。甚至有的lab一首打完了都不知道是什么东西怎么判定的。旧的lab写的不是挺会写的吗，新lab不会写完全可以不写，一堆东西纯纯在污染230%池子
