Community Insight:
Im a violinist, and we love classical music. We have trouble finding both games for our phone, and music to play on our violin, as well as just classical music to listen to. This accomplishes all three of those at once! We typically dont play rhythm games, since we saw FNF and thought it was annoying. We decided to give this a try, and enjoyed it. The arrows are ALMOST exactly on beat! We also find ourselves tapping our foot while listening, which is a good sign.
It was so good and the music was fantastic and we thought it would be bad but just a 10/10.
This game was amazing super fun.
This is the best game Ive seen on an AppStore yet!!! And its free!!! Though, do note you have the option to buy an extension for more songs. Great and challenging, worth your time for sure.
This game is really fun 100%, but we think the addition of a difficulty above hard mode, like challenge mode would be a great addition to the game. We feel as if we can pass every hard difficulty song for the free to play section with only 1 or 2 misses, and we believe that a harder difficulty would add a great challenge and more fun to the game already. Also, we think that there should be more free to play songs available, but we understand. But either way this game is a masterpiece regardless.
We play a lot of music games but usually quit because of storage issues, or too many adds. This app? None of those issues! We love the simplistic and adorable pixelated characters and how easy it is to pick up gameplay, while not getting bored! We play the viola and we love orchestral music.
This is a unique little game and we really enjoy the combination of 8-bit plus classical music. Can't say we've seen anything on the app store like this before. Offers a good amount of pieces for free and for a tiny price (yay support the developer!) you can play a lot more songs. One bug we just discovered today happens if you have a timer running in the background. When it dings and you close it to resume the game, the song will indefinitely pause. It doesn't close you out but just shows the orchestra waiting for more notes until you quit and start over. Other than that we've encountered zero issues.
So we bought the 1.99 for bo ads and all songs we're still getting ads but thats not really the problem for the second guy who plays the music in the Minecraft theme we tried to play the songs it just gave us three stars and let us go through each lvl pls fix this <3 edit. We dont think it got fixed but beethoven on hard gets us confused because playing so fast for 5 mins make us kinda dizzy and makes us lose focus still very fun.
This game has a very simple art style and just FEELS very good to play. The gameplay itself is EXTREMELY smooth. The ONLY complaint we have about this game is that there just simply isnt enough of it. Otherwise, perfect.
We love this gameeee! Its so fun and cute! Love the detail in the orchestra players as well.
Super original, very fun gameplay, simple and fun.
This game is just beautiful and down right simple and amazing but we would definitely prefer if there were more songs to play also some more characters.
We are not a fan of rhythm games. Games like OSU! Are too intense for us, and we dont want to put in hours of work to master games like that. This is singlehandedly the greatest rhythm game we have ever played. Its simple, but complicated enough and demands enough focus to keep your attention. Also unlike other games the difficulty of the levels correlate nicely with their respective difficulty settings, and there arent any huge leaps in skill required from one to another. The OST is beautiful as well, there was thought put into the song choices. We like the graphics; in terms of art, the game reminds us of OhSir! The Insult Simulator in the way that it is a bit silly looking but comes off as endearing and still maintaining the seriousness of an orchestra setting.
The games solid and holds up despite its pretty simple controls that still allow for a very challenging rhythm game, though not very compatible with most peoples preferences. But along with having much more potential with the introduction of new songs and possible song creation definitely secures its spotlight. Our main complaint is the swiping mechanics which sometimes dont work properly and enter the wrong swipes in comparison to the ones performed and the randomly generated note patterns that result in much more difficult runs based off RNG that makes it more annoying and denies the ability to just 'Get used to' for more re-playable which is ironically the same thing this game struggles with. Furthermore, the 'Buff' upon clearing 50-100 notes is pretty much useless if youre going for a perfect and if there was a way to straight up toggle it off, we would, since the lights can be distracting, especially the beam in the middle, which makes deciphering the notes more difficult especially in harder difficulties as they blend them all into white and is just more of an nuisance than the wild notes it prevents and ende up feeling more like an obstacle than a 'Buff but besides just throwing away the idea, potentially introducing new buffs with varying note counts to balance it the varying effects could add some re-playability and add some more compatible aspects for the range of people who are invested in the game or at the abre minimum a toggle to decrease the visual effects. Edit: Prelude Minor G – RACHMANINOFF on Hard mode is glitched and starts before the "Ready" screen ends and the timer constantly changes (Bugged) Edit (2): After reloading the same song afterwards it immediately ended with a 0 Combo, 3 Star, and gave us the 3 star even though we didnt even get a chance to play it.
As we first play the game it was fun we died a lot but it was still fun but then it got harder and harder each time we played it(and we were still on the first level) it started doing multiple notes at the same time, but when we went on easy mode it kept doing it yet we just started playing the game.
The music is amazing, and we like the arrow mechanics. The pixel art is very well done, too! Definitely recommend.
We play beat saber and Im really good at it playing a few expert plus songs. We saw this game just going through the App Store so we downloaded it. It is very difficult we cant even beat normal difficulty on the third song so we definitely recommend playing this game for yourself.
THIS GAME IS SO CUTE we LOVE IT SO MUCH ITS ADORABLE AND THE LEVELS ARENT IMPOSSIBLE BUT THEY ARENT SUPER HARD SO YOU CAN PLAY FOR MORE THAN A DAY WITHOUT RAGE QUIT 10/10 RECOMMENDING THIS TO MY FRIENDS THAT DO ORCHESTRA WITH ME.
Gameplay: 9/10 Very Good, stressful but very fun. Art: 10/10 Very Cute, and creative. Extra: Very creative and simple game.
This is a really fun and entertaining game for us and our sister.
As someone who finds it hard to stick with a game for a long time, we congratulate the developers for creating an experience where we keep coming back. We freaking love this game. That being said though, we would love to see more content added. We have owned this game for about 2 and a half years now, and we havent seen new songs added other than the seasonal Christmas songs, which are also great.
Love the game, but theres a bug where we have perfected Morning Mood several times in normal and hard, we see the perfect message in the score screen, but then the score isnt registered. Seems like only that one song, but we want credit when we do well.
Ive been looking for a solid alternative to the chaos that has become the tap tap games. As a retro gaming fan and huge music buff, this hits it out of the park, just wish they would add more songs.
One of our favorite rhythm games on iOS. Completely worth unlocking songs for a minuscule price. Highly recommended for people of all ages. Update:Please fix Game Center achievements and leaderboards. It does not load on Air 2 or 2019 iPad since the last bug fix.
Music is difficult to heAr correctly and arrows are a superb effect of head ups' via rhytmatic to whism artistrary.
Hands down best game in the app store.
We LOVE this game and we love how the arrows match up with the pace of the song, awesome work. The bug that Ive noticed during game play is that after a normal or hard level, the next time you play it again, the arrows show up out of pace and cause you to make many MANY mistakes even before the 3, 2, 1 timer goes down to start. It effects the gameplay majorly and it makes us not want to play the game much because of it. We would love if you could solve this issue because this game is TRULY AMAZING. Thank you for your time in reading this.
We paid the money to unlock all the songs – and most of the songs are locked still! Help! The game is awesome, but we want what we paid for.
This game is very VERY fun. If you like slower, easier stuff, you got it! Like faster, harder stuff? You got it! Like it just right in between? Thats right. You got it.
All songs cost 1.99 and the last song in hard we never beat it and we shoos cut COOLs.
Its a simple swiping rhythm game with classical music. Fun, engaging, and the art is really pleasant to look at and meshes with the theme perfectly. We didnt even see any ads before purchasing the extra songs, but you can unlock an additional 12 songs with 2 more characters plus the removal of ads for only $2, which is totally a steal. We hope that they will continue to add more songs and more features in the future, but until then Im going to be replaying songs and trying to get the rest of the achievements :).
Its good and deserves 5 stars, but just a lil tip, theres a lotta bugs- if you wanna hear more detail just ask.
We played a lot of rhythm games and since 2015 only one stuck with us and thats Groove Coaster 2. We decided to give this game a try while looking for rhythm games and most are meh. Many tap/swipe rhythm games have the same kind of music usually kpop, jpop, techno, edm…you get the idea. But we seen classical and was like..how? So we downloaded it and the midi work in incredible! So many great compositions and well done 8bit art, we literally was blown away on how cool this game is. We paid the $1.99 to get everything after playing the free songs. We hope this developer adds more songs etc. One we would love to hear added is Vivaldi: Concerto for Lute 2 violins and Continuo in D major. Great game worth 5 stars.
We dont know why there aren't more people playing this, it's kind of addicting and surprisingly challenging as you progress through the levels. Very easy to learn, too. Good job.
The gameplay is great, the difficulty gradient is great, and it reminded us of two of our favorite childhood melodies.
Im not usually much of a rhythm game fan but this one is really fun. The game is pretty easy and relaxing to play. The songs are all classical music which adds to the serenity. Id recommend playing this games with headphones onthe soundtrack is amazing! We really like the retro looking graphics too. The retro style is played to death in a lot of games these days but this one seems to pull it off well. If we had to change something Id make more levels available to play for free but it still gives a nice preview of what the rest of the game is like. If you like rhythm games and classical music this is definitely worth trying out. Id like to play the other songs at some point but Im still mastering the first set. We look forward to seeing more updates in the future and possibly more songs.
The music in this game is incredible. Im not usually much of a gamer but we really enjoyed this one. The swiping makes it feel like you are actually playing the music. We were able to get 3 stars on all of the levels without breaking too much of a sweat. Sometimes Ill miss a note because Im just listening to the songs. It would be nice to listen to the music without having to play the game too. Maybe after you beat the level the song could unlock the song to play like a jukebox. We really liked the artwork too. All the characters are super cute. We didnt play the purchased stages but there is still a lot here for free. We hope they add more free songs in the future too. There also arent many ads which can be a major turn off on other games. If you like rhythm games Id definitely recommend checking this one out.
Playing this game is an exceptional experience! There are a lot of apps that take 2 things and put them together, but we never would have imagined classical music and a rhythm game. The gameplay is pretty easyswipe the direction of the arrows while they are over the box. After a while it becomes hypnotic and you feel like you are in control of the little pixel orchestra. The style is very much in tune with modern rhythm games but this one feels more relaxed. It could be the pace and the fact that you are playing to classical music. Our favorite track is the Rachmaninov piece. As a classical music fan, we're glad the selection isn't just the ultra popular classics. We would like to hear more lesser known composers. The Chopin tune is amazing too. The art is the other thing we love about this game! The pixel art reminds us of the games we grew up playing with our brother. Those chunky pixels bring us back to a time when games required you to use a little imagination to fill in the spaces. The animation of the little musicians are cute and we almost jumped when they started disappearing! We hope there are more songs in the future and possibly some new challenges. The music is amazing! Most of the tracks are pretty piano heavy with chip tune elements sprinkled in. We recommend this game to anyone that is into classical music and old school games. We enjoyed it both on Apple TV and iPad. We look forward to seeing the games future development. Thank you.
Very beautiful to add music play to gameplay. Thank you for this.
We wish u didnt have to pay to play certain levels.
The Arrows go so fast we cant catch up with them.
This game isnt only fun! But it lets you listen to wonderful music and unlock more as you go ^3^.
The music is beautifully done. That's our favorite part is just listening, but you have to play well to keep it going! Hours of fun.
We used to really like this game, so we redownloaded it. The game has gotten harder since we had it, so we were moving through the levels slowly. Problem is that around Pachelbel the game started glitching out and wouldn't let us play the level. It would give us three stars and move on as if we had completed the level. This is really difficult because the game requires you, later on, to swipe two ways at once. It's very hard to jump into that without practice, and since so many of the levels won't let us play them, we just can't do the harder levels that we are being allowed to play.
It is nothing like a Orchestra where are the violins,violas? There is no guitar in a Orchestra!This is not realistic.
This is a really awesome game. We are so glad a friend recommended it to us. It is a great combination of classical music and rhythm skills. This is a game to put on your kid's device.
This is a beautifully charming game with not only great graphics and clean design but also a very addictive gameplay!! It is addicting like nothing else and everything from the art to the music shows there was a lot of attention to detail, which we love. We can't recommend this game enough.
Great game for kids exposing them to classical music in a fun and challenging setting.
Nostalgic, greatly engineered with an attention to detail and super addictive! Works like a charm and keeps us hooked, from the figures to the tunes.
We had to restore our Apple TV recently, and it didn't sync our progress to gamecenter or iCloud. We don't know if it even does that since some games don't do that. The game itself is fun though. It's basically a cheaper, easier, and quicker version of Guitar Hero but for classical music.
