Meaningful Experience
The music and art of this game always get me emotional. I played it during a breakup period in my life and now I associate this game with the idea of getting better. The soundtrack is excellent and is streaming on Apple Music. I highly recommend giving it a listen after you experience the game.
The gameplay is good but I don’t play for the revolutionary gameplay. I came for the for audio/visual experience and I am not disappointed.

Great game play it on steam
Idk for me the kind of movements the game expects me to do seem a little too much for swipe controls. Like I'm constantly swiping 2-3 times in the later stages just to be unable to even make it past a part because my fingers can't input that hard of a turn. I would definitely rate it higher but I can't give it more stars because the control scheme is just too archaic for a game like this. Like maybe if the touch movement was 1:1 or something but how it is I don't get enough of a response even with high sensitivity. That's my literal only complaint as I just want to play the game how it's meant to be played, I don't think swipe controls were meant to be played with. Also experienced a lot of slowdown within the game itself, not sure if that's just a game optimization thing or my phone, but it was large enough to make me notice.

Touch Controls
Amazing game, but the touch controls on phone are a bit off. Even after changing them from normal to high sensitivity, there is a lack of consistency. Some levels (mainly the heartbreak levels) have an insanely high sensitivity and I’ll be flying all over the map with the slightest movement. Other levels, the movement is slow and feels like very low sensitivity. I wish the touch controls were more consistent. Other than that, fantastic game and more than worth it.

Great Game. 1 Suggestion.
this game is great. It’s basically an interactive pop album/music videos, and I can’t get enough of it. It’s great to play from start to finish. However… I do have one suggestion. If you happen to update this game, please put an epilepsy warning before the game actually starts. That would be an improvement, so that people with epilepsy don’t download this game by mistake, and start having problems. I don’t want you guys to end up getting sued.

Still Here!
It feels like you guys just manifested y’all’s imagination so perfectly and beautifully that it just is everything that could be anything, legit no words can explain the visuals. But what are the visuals without the sounds and music? The music made it a thousand times better. And then there is the meaning behind it, the most beautiful part, the meaning of it can be almost anything. It just has to suit yourself, and what you think of it. I think of it as finding yourself and remembering that it’s always been there. Then accepting your faults at the end of it all, and then you just live on. At least that’s my take on it. There are many other meanings you can think of which I like.
Thank you, for one of the best story games.

Well done app.
I love this app. Well made design-wise, the narration, and the music is catchy. I do notice the all female cast and that is cool as well. As a guy I don’t really care what character I play as, guy or girl, it’s about getting points and achieving goals. This game is maybe one of the main reasons for me to keep paying for Apple Arcade. The constant motion of the screen trying to catch items on the X-Y-Z axis at regular speed makes it difficult to catch that gold rating every level.
I feel the controls were a bit funky starting out on the iPhone 12 Pro Max. I had to switch to high sensitivity in order to be able to get from one side of the screen to the other in time to catch more gems and hearts.

Excellent visuals and music, awful touch controls
The idea and art design of this game are incredible, but the game is almost telling you to use a 3rd party controller. The touch controls are a complete failure: swiping to move wide areas is an assuredly absolutely awful idea and should not have passed any sort of reasonable beta testing. This could be easily remedied by arrow buttons that countless other games already use; no need to introduce swiping because it looks intuitive. I really want to like this game: as an art form it’s beautiful, but strictly speaking as a game out of the box, it falls short by cripplingly bad touch controls. I’ve gotten about a third of the Gold ranks, but it’s unlikely I try to get more because swiping is, simply put, terrible.

Great game, don’t play it on your phone
This is the game I got Apple Arcade for, and it didn’t disappoint. It’s gorgeous and engrossing, and even though an initial play through only takes about an hour, there’s a lot of fun to be had in replaying levels over and over again to try for gold ranks. The soundtrack is a lot of fun, too! The gameplay itself is fairly simple but I don’t think that’s a bad thing.
I docked a star because the mechanics are just really clunky in the mobile version; the controls aren’t as responsive as I’d like them to be and some levels are almost impossible because of it. You can toggle sensitivity settings, which helps a little. I recently purchased the game on my Nintendo Switch, and I like the controls there much better.
I think this game is a must-play, but if you can, play it on a console, or at least pair a controller to your phone.

What? Just. Happened?
I don’t know who taped my childhood and adolescent dreams and made a game out of them, but I’d like my cut please.
Although I’m kidding about “my cut”, I’m serious about the rest. It’s astounding to me. I used to put on headphones on a car ride and “run” through the trees, hills and cityscapes we drove through. I knew I was daydreaming but it felt real. Music was my escape, and those daydreams were inspired by my actual dreams. Flying, running and jumping great distances were ordinary pastimes. Leaving my body and floating up to the snow even though it was summer in reality was a touching experience, though I knew it was only a dream. The flying ship with the floating islands which were outlined as clouds... this brings it all back. Thank you for reminding me how free I used to feel!
I was brought to tears by level 3. This is, indeed, the work of Strong Creatives. Don’t lose that edge, guys!
Also, my cat would like a sequel. He likes the bright lights. (What? Oh.) And the deer.

wonderful！！！
I used to play some familiar games like this one, but this is the best one I had ever played.
For the difficulty, I think is hard or easy enough to me. After crash times I can pass it. But if you want to get a high rank that you need more practice. So the last one rewards I guess I can’t get it.
The good points of the game is 1. Music 2. Fantastic views. 3. Interesting action.
I really like the music. I hope I can download them in the Apple Music. If you don’t mind, you can post some pictures in the game to show up the drawings.
Some insufficient places is the controller. I use my iPad to play the game. I can’t control the girl turn left or right easily. I have to swish it hardly or it just move little that the girl crashed.
I expect you guys would make a good new game.
Have to say, if you have epilepsy. Do not play this game. It’ll kill you!

AWESOME
Ok this is hands down the coolest game I have ever played. The music I mean it is amazing. And the graphics are awesome all those colors and it being so abnormal in an amazing way like the colors in cities are just bland but in this game they are amazing. Also I love how you are in space sometimes.i haven’t even been playing this game for ten minutes but I can tell this is an amazing game. GREAT JOB.

Words cannot describe
I honestly think this is the best and all time favorite game I have ever played on my phone. The music is lovely, Queen Latifah’s voice narrating is pretty cool and oddly soothing, and the graphics and visuals are fantastic, they remind me of sailor moon in the best way possible, just with an added tarot card aspect that’s really wonderful. All around just rad and undeniably awesome game. Give it a shot, the message at the end after beating all the levels is one hell of a shout out to girl power!

This game is a masterpiece
I could not have said it any better. This game is something that I have never seen before and playing this just absolutely blew my mind. The graphics are just beautiful and the aesthetic is very retro yet very original. The soundtrack is just beautiful as well, I can get listen to every song hour on hours of repeating them to get the gold rank. It is a game that just defines almost everything that I wanted to see in a video game.

So I am SHOOK
Holy crap! This game is pretty good. The music is not too much of my taste but the visuals totally distract me from that. Everything is so bright and colorful and so cool to look at. The music and the visuals are very compatible with each other and I love it. I do have one small problem though. It’s the way you are allowed to move the character. Yes, I love how you can move very freely and the game does not restrict you. However, it feels stiff and to move the character around quickly to dodge projectiles can be rather hard and sometimes frustrating. I do like the fact that they give you the opinion to skip that section of the level if you get stuck. The story isn’t too hard to follow but if you lose the main plot of the story, head right to the first level and the description of the game in the App Store. I would like another thing like this game and I would like for it to be a bit longer please

Absolutely Amazing
This game is absolutely dripping with cool. Even more than a great game, it’s an experience. From the music to the art, I’ve been totally captivated with it from beginning to end!
One note for the developers however, the controls make the game much harder than it has to be. Even with touch sensitivity set to high, I have a hard time swerving from side to side in time, especially in the harder levels.
Overall I love this game, and can’t recommend it enough!

Amazing - Deserves a Sequel!
This game was so gorgeous to play. The music is great, as made evident by the trailer (and you can download the soundtrack). Every moment of Sayonara was neon pink-filled joy. If you love over the top anime flourishes, you will find this immensely satisfying. My only complaint would be that I’d like the songs to be longer! Sometimes the levels finishes right when I’m getting into the beat. I realize this would increase development costs, but I think it’s a great opportunity for a sequel! (Played with a controller, which I found great.)
Edit: I’ve now replayed this game many times and have listened to the soundtrack over and over again. I retract my comment about longer songs. This is the perfect length. I love that this is a pop album game, not a rhythm game with 200 levels. Instead, make more [games] albums!

Beautiful but clunky
The game is beautiful and the music is amazing. The largest problem with the fame is how clunky it feels. The controls get changed constantly and there’s no direction on what to do it’s just trial and error. It feels like they didn’t play test the game because sometimes when trying to turn or steer it feels so unnatural and you can’t even turn what looks like a simple corner. Each level is different, which is very nice, but the controls change so you never know what to expect. I go to pick up the game and play half a level and quickly put it down because I remember how awful it feels to feel so extremely out of control of your character.

It’s perfect
Sayonara Wild Hearts is one of the most engaging and beautiful indies I have ever played. Its mix of fluid movement and catchy beats made me feel as if I was in a calming and surreal dream.
The controls are intuitive enough. Sometimes it felt like the stock sensitivity was just way too slow. Thankfully after I changed it I was able to play perfectly fine. The QTE bits that I was worried about felt... well... like they weren’t out of place or slowed the pace of the game. I did a couple of times wonder why you couldn’t tap anywhere when the prompts appeared. I felt like my hand got in the way of many beautiful animations.
Graphics and music is where this game really excels though. There were many times I found myself jaw a gape and humming along with the incredibly palpable soundtrack. Though a funny mental image it really is a testament of how this game really bends your mind to its will.
Though I had a few gripes with the controls it wasn’t a big enough problem to hold the game at fault. I still find myself humming the soundtrack to myself and believe that this game will be around for a while. I believe in it’s staying power. It’s a beautiful reminder of how poignant indies can truly be. Thank you for such a great and memorable experience.

Stunning Design; Interactions could be better
This game is absolutely beautiful. The songs were fantastic and characters fit perfectly. Some rounds were a little difficult but I was able to finish the whole game in an hour. One improvement that could be made is the swiping. It was a little difficult to get the character to move where you want it in time. There seemed to be a delayed reaction on some levels. I spent most of the time figuring out ways to get past this. Another improvement would be to put a start sign on the screen when the level has started. There were times when I didn’t even realize the level had started due to how smooth the transitions from storyline to gameplay were.
