Amazing and perfect for mobile play

This game is so fun. I love challenging myself to get an S rank on every level. The music and atmosphere is amazing. It takes a second to get used to swipe controls but once I did I had a blast. So so fun. One of the best mobile games I’ve played :)

These reviews…

Some of these reviews are just nitpicks. They complain about how the tutorials are vague. I easily got them first or second try. They also say how the timing is behind and it screws them up but most of the time it’s lag. All you have to do is swipe slightly early. It’s a great game! This must have taken a lot of time.

Love this game and the development

You guys ROCK a and I think you should make new games, and I love melodies and space so i think you just are so awesome! I love far parts of space and what it would be like if it were like this, and it dazzles me how real you made it look and sound, and I just discovered that people at NASA are making a space program to launch a photographer to study a planet with CIVILIZATION AND LIGHT!!!!!

Good game brought down by bad controls

I really want to like that game, but the touch controls are very finicky and unresponsive, which is a major problem for a rhythm game like this. I keep getting stuck on this one level because the game cannot respond to my touch inputs fast enough, and it doesn’t register my swipe up motion if it’s preceding my another input. Even when I completely over exaggerate the swipe up motion, it still registers it as a tap and not a swipe. I don’t mind playing with a controller, but I shouldn’t be essentially forced to due to bad touch controls. The music and visuals are great, and this has strong potential, but the touch controls are just too frustrating.

Just s

This game was fantastic I completed all of the levels at s score and it was really challenging 😰 now i came to see other reviews and I realized it is harder to play on the touchscreen rather than keyboard and now I’m really proud of myself for doing it on touchscreen 😂
