### 4/5 — クラッシュ

*2022-05-25*

画面が止まって　普通に遊べない！
（それ以外ならいいゲームですよ）

### 5/5 — 인게임 플레이 디자인을

*2021-07-03*

3D로 한게 진짜 신의 한수다... 8년지난 지금 m1아이패드로 해도 전혀 어색함 없는 3D텍스쳐
제작자는 미래를 본건가 ㄷㄷ...
2D디자인까지 4K로 업그레이드하면 넘사되겠다 진짜
디자인 말고도 게임성으로만 봐도 엄청난 리듬게임이다

### 5/5 — 動かなくなってしまったので

*2021-06-07*

動かなくなってしまったので、ここで報告です。
iPad Air第4世代、iPadOS 14.6。
起動するとスタート画面の音楽はなるが画面は黒く「looking for microupdates…..」の文字が表示されて固まり、ボタンは何も効かず、電源ボタン長押しで端末の終了もできず。
2分ほどで突然音が止まり、すぐ後にアプリがバックグラウンドに移行、ホーム画面になる。バックグラウンドからtone sphere を選んでも画面は固まったまま(たまにスタート画面の絵柄は表示されるがタッチ操作はできない)、1分ほど音楽が鳴って止まってバックグラウンドへを繰り返す。
アプリをインストールし直しても変わらないので、遊べなくなってしまいまして残念です。解決策が示されますように。

### 4/5 — Is pretty good

*2021-05-04*

If you into rhythm games then this is definitely worth checking out. It’s like osu but better! It has it all: progression, nice music, cool graphics and tons of fun. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because it can be bad for those who get triggered by flashing lights and stuff. There should be an option to get rid of background and make more minimalistic in my opinion. But it’s a really easy game to pick up even if you not into rhythm games. Would recommend to anyone.

### 5/5 — IGNORE THE BAD REVIEWS.

*2021-02-22*

This game is amazing! It makes me sad to see that people are giving it bad reviews because it deserves better. It is easy and fun, and the songs are great, and on Apple Music. I really like ‘WRLDS’ and ‘Afterdark’ and ‘Tiferet’ is really good. There is a paid mode, but it really doesn’t bother me because I can do what I need without ads or stopping to pay. Just get it. Please!

### 5/5 — Been playing for years and i absolutely LOVE iT!!!, but...

*2020-09-26*

5⭐️'s all day long, playing for years and  absolutely LOVE iT!!!, but for some reason i am unable to download the newest update with the new cloud save fuction and new content😥

### 5/5 — 이건 진짜 갓겜이고

*2020-08-22*

아이패드가 암만 바뀌어도 항상 1등으로 재다운로드 하게 되는 게임
신곡 나올때마다 놓치지않고 다 구매하고 있습니다
그저 영원히 남길 바라는 게임
스타 최고 갓갓재능인

### 4/5 — Amazing!, but...

*2020-07-22*

I’ve been playing this game for a few days now and it’s probably one of my favorite games now! The art is beautiful, there’s a huge variety of music, and the gameplay and bgas are really creative and unique. But there had been one thing that’s been bothering me. The pause button: there isn’t one. I don’t really get why you can’t pause the game, and the current exit button is really hard to use. It’s very unresponsive and the triple-tap is a great idea, but it rarely works. Other than that, the touch is a bit unresponsive (even when turning off 3D touch like one of the tips says) and the results screen is silent which is a bit unsettling. But aside from those three minor pet peeves, this game is beautiful and deserves so much more recognition for how amazing it is!

### 5/5 — めいさく　これ個人で作ってるってどういう事なの...

*2020-04-07*

独特のゲーム性に最初は困惑するかも知れませんが、ノーツの色とリズムの法則に慣れると譜面をどう叩けば良いのか理解できるようになり、爽快感抜群になります。
最初はpress  startかdark  sphereからやってみてください。「自信があるぞ！高難易度ドンとこーい！」って人はsolar sphere、dark sphereＸＸＸＬへどうぞ。
とにかくめちゃくちゃ楽しいです。是非やってみてはいかがでしょうか？
星6が取れた時はきっと飛び上がるほど嬉しくなるはず。

### 5/5 — Absolutely Lovely

*2019-10-04*

I was thinking of getting this when I first saw it on the Collab with Arcaea. Now that I’ve played it it’s so good.

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2019-09-18, version 1.7.1*

Should have gotten an update an year ago, but was worth the wait with all the current content that is coming out at the moment, also no iap and is worth for every single cent/dollar.

2019 edit: there are some iap stuff but still best game to spend that money on

### 5/5 — 唯一無二のゲーム

*2019-09-18*

こんなレビューなんて見てないで実際にプレイしてほしい。240円以上の価値があるゲーム

### 5/5 — 다 좋은데

*2019-07-28*

다 좋은데 조율이 진짜 에바입니다 뭐 하면 숫자가 10 넘어가고 40 넘어가고 어떨땐 1,2 이러고 그래서 굿 너무 많이 납니다 안해

### 5/5 — 画面の端が反応しない人

*2019-07-10*

3D touchをオフにすればいいらしい。面倒い？

### 3/5 — Overlapping ‘Targets’ Bring Scores ↓

*2019-06-21*

I’ve owned this for a long time and I’m glad to see it back, but the overlapping tap targets are irritating. 

When compared to a lot of the music games I see on the App Store, this still probably beats them senseless. 

The music is anything and everything ... all with an unmistakable Asian flare. That doesn’t mean it’s better or worse, it’s just different. Speaking of music, there is a lot of it! 

There are so many levels and challenges I can’t see how you can go wrong with this one ... Well, unless your tap targets overlap one another. :-)

### 5/5 — 최고

말이필요할까?

### 1/5 — bug still exists on iPad Air 4 devices

*2022-03-05*

I’m a foreign gamer. The whole game is very good, I played it for over two years, however it can not be played on iPad Air 4. The problem has existed for a long time (about half an year or so), but the developer still didn’t fix it. Last year the developer Sta introduced a method (open screen recording while playing the game) but it is not the real solution. I hope the developers can solve this problem soon.

### 1/5 — iPad Air 4でやろうとしている方に

*2022-01-31*

もしこのゲームをやるならiPad Air 4でやるのは､オススメしません。
　アプリを起動すると動かなくなります。解決策は､StaさんのTwitterに「画面収録をしながらだとできる」とあります。ですが､その後に収録を切ると画面が固まってしまいます。
　なので､他の端末でやるのをオススメします。

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2014-10-22*

This is the most pointless game I have ever had. It doesn't work. I open it, select an "episode", select a song, and what happens? Black squares rotate slowly onscreen, no music plays, and nothing happens when I touch the screen or menu button. Waste of space on my phone, not worth downloading.

### 1/5 — Retarded

*2014-10-19*

Probably the worst app I have ever try'd! Thank goodness it was free

### 1/5 — Confusing

*2014-06-23, version 1.0.8e*

I don't really get how to play the game. I mean there's no tutorial anything that teaches me how to play as an whole. The tips before the games are okay but I get confused very much and it's starting to get annoying so I deleted this app. The songs were okay though.

### 1/5 — Huh?

*2013-12-04, version 1.0.8e*

What the heck is this and what am I supposed to do?

### 1/5 — too bad compare to cytus

*2013-10-11*

As a pro-music gamer I don't like it either the music or the tap design. Not worth to buy

### 1/5 — Endteuscht

*2013-06-02*

Nur ein Peer vwiew von Dance Flor Alben

### 2/5 — Fun game but never works.

*2022-06-04*

I have only played the game one time, and that’s because 99% of the time I open the app and it just freezes my iPad even though I can hear the music and stuff. I have the newest iPad and it’s fully updated. Everything else in my iPad works except for this game. Why is that?

### 2/5 — なんでこんなに評価高いの…？

*2020-10-22*

・バグが多い
・曲の系統が偏っててつまんない
・画面がグルグル動く曲があって難しいとかじゃなくてやりづらいだけ。画面酔いして不快
・ストーリー？会話が噛み合ってなくて意味不
・説明不足というかチュートリアルっぽいものが見当たらなくて不親切でわかりにくい
・やり込み要素があんまり無い
・キャラがかわいくない。背景はハイセンスなのに残念

### 5/5 — 재설치 방지

*2026-04-05*

그동안 재밌게 잘 플레이했습니다

### 5/5 — Starbirth when

*2025-04-10*

My guiding Sta!

### 5/5 — これ個人ってマジ？

*2024-08-30*

10000円払ってもやりたいレベルの音ゲー

### 5/5 — 、、

*2024-08-19*

やっぱり好きですこのゲーム。
綺麗な世界観、順序よく手立てられたゲームシステム。
曲数も多く、難易度の幅も広くて…
とても素敵なゲームです。
もしこれから音ゲーを始める、って人にもおすすめです。

### 5/5 — Good game

*2024-07-10*

I love this game

### 5/5 — やり込んでくとむずくなる

*2024-06-25*

画面に出てくる丸を長押ししたり叩くだけ polytoneやユビートをやっている人には物足りないかもしれない ゲームの背景がunityで作られたような躍動感があって好き

YouTubeでどんな感じの音ゲーか調べないと、
人によっては損をするかも

### 5/5 — 第九艺术

*2024-05-06, version 1.9.0*

神游不做评价，sta给音乐游戏界的宇宙赞歌

### 5/5 — 굳

*2023-02-07*

다 떠나서 노래가 수작밖에 없음. 따로 듣기에도 좋은 노래들로 차있어서 레벨 낮은 노래 할때도 귀가 재밌다는 점이 제일 크고, 많이 하다 보면 아쉬운 점이 한둘이 아니지만 1인 제작이라는 점으로 커버 가능 ㅋㅋ 회사단위로 제작했으면 개씹지렸을거같음

### 5/5 — まあ神ゲーだよね

*2021-10-17*

プレイ始めて三ヶ月の初心者ですが
120円以上の価値はあると感じますね
一度入れて見れば良いかと

### 5/5 — 最高

*2021-09-08*

リリースからやってますがやっぱり面白い
最近ipad air4に乗り換えたんですけどバグなのか
画面が起動時から固まって動かないです。
