Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game has a staple for us for years! It really is hypnotic, we always seem to go back to it.
We always play this on the plane.
This game is extremely good. The soundtrack, challenging gameplay, and simple controls all combine really well! We knew going into this game that it would be hard, but, we like challenges and its hard to get mad at this game anyways. Also, since the game is so challenging, we feel even better when we get past a curtain obstacle Ive been struggling with in a level. We heard lots of good things about this game in the reviews, and in our opinion this game lived up to our expectations. Totally worth $2.99 dollars. Excellent game! :D.
Thank you for such beautiful game.
Bought this when it first came out on one of our old android devices. Found that old phone and it was on there. Started playing and was curious to see if it was on iOS. We love it so much that we bought it again! This game stands the test of time for us! So simple yet difficult with immersive trance beats. And her voice yall made a banger. Kudos.
Played this game 11 years ago and it left a really good impression on us! Picked it up again now (Sep 2024) and its still so much fun.
Still one of the best mobile games ever created for IOS. We used to be so frustrated trying to beat every level but the games calm music and words of encouragement help us cope and keep going. The gameplay is simple with 2 rotating balls dodging rectangular obstacles but gets very engaging and fun and never feels old. Highly recommend.
Dope music! This game blends concentration and relaxation perfectly. Play it you won't be disappointed! Play we havent played quite a while and these new levels are extremely challenging and the music is great as usual give it a try yall.
Favorite game, bought it long ago on Android and had to rebuy again on phone years later, opened it up for the first time in a very long time and found they finally added more levels! Instantly had to buy the levels (cheap and worth it if you played the beginning levels already) love it.
This is the most amazing game Ive ever played in our entire adult life its so hard and so frustrating we wanna bang our head against a wall but wow does it get our heart racing thx <3.
Its so hard to find games like this! You will not regret.
Been playing this game on/off for 6-7 years now! Our gosh its just so good and fun. The music, when we first played, really gave us an intro to electronic music and it was phenomenal and literally life changing. Its full of great music, amazing graphics, and offers a minimalistic touch. Its beyond incredible.
We have beaten all of Duet except for Soliloquy. Is there a bug in chapter 3, level 5? We cant seem to get past it on any platform.
Amo este juego lo jugu creo que en el 2018 y tena un soundtrack hermoso ahora lo vuelvo a descargar pero no tiene el soundtrack no s qu pasa.
Everyone should play this game.
Thats great to have this game again and alive.
We love the game when Im bored we like to play this game.
Title says it all. Unique skill challenge that encourages you to try, try and try again. Highly rewarding and worth the investment.
Honestly, this has to be one of the best mobile games we have ever played. Everything from the music to the game itself is pretty good.
We have that tingling sensation in our brain and a smile on our face while figuring out the new Siloloquy levels and watching the orb gets squashed over and over again. LOL. The new chapter brings a new logic to the game and to your thinking and your skill. The game is awesome. A huge thanks and aplausos to the developers.
This game has been one of the most enjoyable for us. Not too much of a fan of the music, but the gameplay and smoothness is astounding. Those platform runners don't stand a chance.
We owned this game on our old android, and we bought it again for iPhone. Its just so fantastic, its stunningly simple and just ridiculously fun. It gets way harder in the higher levels, so keep with it.
Be prepared to try many times, Duet demands perfection. Super fun.
It is simplistic yet captivating with the music and messeges. Calming yet incredibly addictive. Simply put, the best game ive ever played.
This game goes deep and it's amazing. It somehow makes us go on and it's fun. It might even help with depression, stress and anger.
Super minimalistic design and game play ! Give few mins to get used to the game play. Once you get past that initial bump of game play this game is super duper fun after that.
Been playing this for almost 4 years now and it's still addictive. Well worth the money because it has endless mode and daily games. We rank it hard but fun just like Geometry Dash only a step easier. Play it now.
By far our favorite game, totally worth the $3.
We completed this game a couple years ago and it was incredibly difficult near the end. Well worth the time though.
Preface: we find most highly rated iPhone games empty, gimmick and never as fun as we remember video game being as a kid. Just becoming an adult? Maybe However, Duet, is one of two games on iPhone that we we think is awesome, elegant and so so fun. We keep coming back to it. We keep coming back to it. The music and psychological elements are great too.
Easily our favorite mobile game. Duet utilizes touch controls incredibly well and has a perfect difficulty curve.
Challenging, fun, fair. You don't need to play a single way either – You can play stop-and-go or try to string all your movements into a graceful dance. Soundtrack is amazing. Probably among the best apps on the store.
We like puzzles we got it free too.
This is one of the few games we can honestly say we have no regrets for having paid for.
We bought this game because we wanted a game that we didn't have to use data. This is it! Very entertaining, keeps your mind focus and reflexes sharp.
We have enjoyed coming back to this app from time to time to beat another level. Highly recommended.
Beautiful and minimalistic design, fitting music, and wonderful skill-based play.
It's our go to whenever we don't have Internet. Totally worth buying.
We love the way it make you think different.
Excellent game design, unique aesthetics.
The levels get pretty insane to beat, invisible obstacles hahaha.
Just the daily challenge should be improve.
Definitely one of the best games ever released for iOS. It's very addictive and always has you coming back for more.
Difficult but not too hard. Great game.
It's one of the better titles that you can find in the apple store.
Not gonna lie, it caught us off guard when it started talking about emotions while you are going through the levels. It made us want to keep going and finishing the story but at the same time it is challenging so we had to keep playing. Before we knew it, we were addicted because it is fun and we wanted to finish the story. Very fun game well done.
We recently downloaded this game and have not been able to put our phone down…this is such a well thought out addicting game. We absolutely love it.
We like how each set of levels has a new type of obstacle to consider and there are so many different sets.
Great game even better music Awesome puzzles.
Here are our points 1. He music alone makes the game worth it :) 2. Game is simple to understand and gives a retro feel. Simply awesome. 3. Game isn't as easy at least for us. Hope to see more of these.
