Community Insight:
Cute, funky and quirky little game. Definitely worth trying if youre into rhythm games and want to see a unique take or like Hello Kitty/Sanrio. We wish the menu resolution was higher and things werent so blurry but alas.
We love the game. We have it on our iPad and our Nintendo switch. Theres only one thing that we want is that there is a song library. And Netflix, please bake it so that the kids account can have games. We have to play on our moms account which is quite annoying oh and When you have a big iPad, it gets really hard to hold. Love the game just please add a library so its easier to find the specific song so its easier to find the specific soccer youre looking for looking for. Something else thats a little bit annoying is that when you play with a song, the song disappears some of the songs we dont really like A lot More songs in the switch. Like Gotta get over it. Which by the way is our favorite song on this whole game. Ps we love cinnamoroll. But his ears are a bit big.
One time we got a notification that said cinnamoroll was back! We were shocked and pompompurin was already there we are like cinnamorolls biggest fan and pompompurin biggest fan.
This game is amazing dont get us wrong theres just one think they really drives us crazy Ill be playing the game perfectly miss one step and it says rhythm lost ok whatever we can just get back on beat but when we try to do that and Im perfectly on beat with the song it still says rhythm lost and its really aggravating please try to fix.
It would be way more fun if we did what we suggested it could even be seen as a producers tool maybe u could make a different version where u can make ur own rythms to go with the song we love hello kitty but its kind of boring doing the same 4/4 stuff.
Hi we are S.. So we are playing this game for a long time and there are some problems about game. First when we lost the game we should respawn with coins. And There are 5 diffrent difficulty levels right? There should be More because there are a lot of difficult levels. And there can be More levels and characters. We hope that you think adding any of this recommendations to the game. Byeee.
Good rhythm game but we think it would be better if all songs were accessible on all the levels. There was a couple levels that would only shuffle between 4 songs. Also, idk if its just us but after Ive opened up and played once in a day, the rest of the time the app wont open. It just stays on the opening page and doesnt change, even after closing the app and clearing everything it wont go past that very first page. Please fix that. Its very irritating to have to wait all day just to be able to play again.
Fun to play but we played one game and after that it just freezes at loading when we open.
We dont like it because it makes u put in your Netflix password we hate it.
This is our fav game ,we love it sooo much and recommend it to anyone who loves Sanrio and much as we do,at first it is kinda hard to get the hang of the game , but then becomes sooo much fun to only thing we think should be in the gam wish :more characters and more levels but that is it ,we love this game, 5/5 stars.
We LOVE this game so much it doesnt glitch and its very fun but it is a little to fun we play it for like 6 hours straight.
We play in our phone and it doesn't keep glitching . The tv keeps glitching reason why 1.it's hard to play no more here bye (w).
We're in the process of beating it, we really want to unlock all the characters. The game isn't difficult when you get the hang of it. We actually haven't been playing that long it's just we got sucked in for like three hours today and yesterday. About the game. You collect the Sanrio characters whilst playing rhythm game. There is an outfits feature. Gameplay has you keeping a rhythm, like tapping your foot, but with inputing movements or character swaps. Reminded us of dance of fire and ice, if the map was a straight line. At the same time in the game, you try to maximize your score by using the different character abilities. Multi tasking several character abilities and movement to keep a streak multiplier. In later stages the maps are essentially the same but "harder" obstacles, plus camera movements that change the perspective of the parade impacting your ability to read obstacles clearly or easily. Songs. We didn't know any of songs but we still enjoyed play the game to them. Some are better then others, but this is up to preference, you get to choose the song before starting a level. Except end levels. Critiques of gameplay elements. The levels are set up in an annoying tree structure that has you replaying five maps, so you can reach the five different endings. We thought this was cool and unique, until you have to beat the end level three times to unlock Kuromi, you have to replay at least 15 times to unlock her. But after playing so many times honestly it gets easier. Replay. After we get all the characters, theres little reason to keep playing, you can level up your characters but that only helps you unlock different characters. Only incentive is digital outfits, you can buy with the coins you accumulate, actually unlocking all outfits would be time consuming, lots of coins. Conclusion. There are better rhythm games for rhythm game players, and better ways to enjoy Sanrio characters. But we do enjoy the satisfaction of unlocking the characters. If you're not good at rhythm games but are interested and like Sanrio, the game is not hard but you just gotta keep the rhythm, not helpful but thats just something fundamental to all rhythm games. Like taping your foot but tapping your screen. Tips. Our four character load out is Hello Kitty, Pompompurin, Bad Badtz-Maru, then Pochacco. Heals aren't really helpful since you can just move out of the way. The spike ability is op for hard levels. Shield can be maximized when you have structures surrounding you or any large number of obstacles all around you, in general just top tier ability. Magnet is op and plays well with the spike ability if you miss the drop. Hello Kitty and friend's Hello Kitty friends ability to make enemies friends(lol good luck reading that), is good for all diffs. Or just play however you want, we did that for the most part, we just tried to unlock the characters we wanted.
We really like hello kitty tho its kinda hard to control the characters, but we will like if it had a lower price to play the game.
We love it so much our favorite character is Hello kitty shes so cute and Happy but we have a question on level 2 we were Pompurin and on his extra info it said that obstacles dont hurt you but when we ran into one it made pompurin die.
If you are reading this Netflix please add more and older characters like Gudetama (larger version), Pekkle, Monkichi, Minna No Tabo, CoroCorokurirrin, Pippo, Pandapple, Hangyodon, Aggretsuko, and etc. Please also add more stages that are not full with just obstacles you cant even go around. If you are willing to add this, thank you and lets get more exciting updates in the future.
We used to have this app and it was so fun. We had deleted it for storage reasons then got a new phone and reinstalled it and now it is stuck on a logo page. We reset our phone, checked for updates, deleted and reinstalled and nothing happened. Im so sad.
When we first found this game, we thought it would be cool because it was a Netflix game. But it turns out when, we downloaded it and when we played it, we need to have Netflix account to play the game, but we did have a Netflix account. We dont understand why. But the thing is, we think that we had a Netflix account on our TV so could you please fix this? Thank you.
Nothing is wrong with the game we love the Saniro characters it is just hard to move or play we are a big fan of Saniro but it is just to hard to play like do u rage quit like us.
We love music games and we love hello kitty. Great match.
This game is super fun! We were not expecting this level of polish in a Hello Kitty game but the visuals and animations are super fun and cute, plus the gameplay is surprisingly engaging with a great learning curve and some fun mechanics. Definitely worth trying if youre a fan of rhythm games! Our only complaint is that there arent more levels.
We love this game, it was difficult to get the hang of at first, but theres two modes to play in. Normal mode, you tap the screen to the beat, as well as move the characters, and use their abilities. The other mode is for you to relax while playing. We play this mode, and it takes us about 10 minutes to run through all stages to get to the end. Ive beat the game, but we still play because the songs are very uplifting, you can change your characters outfits, it has sensory mode, and you can turn it off. We plan on showing it to our niece when we see each other next. Itll be her first introduction to Sanrio.
The game is cute fun but whenever we lose it restarted and we were so close to unlocking pochco and also where is cinnamon roll we see the others but why not him and why cant we move to see the characters faces but cesides that its a pretty good game we love how you can put different out fits on them lol and Im eight Im not saposed to rate but we had too.
We love this game but ever since we upgraded from an iPhone 12 to an iPhone 14 Pro Max it wont load past the developer logo screen.
We love Sanrio but the only thing wrong was when we die we start all over.
We havent opened the app fully yet but when we open it , it shows that we have to sign into Netflix? And that just doesnt sound safe so we are double thinking about having the game.
Okay! So this game is fun! Yes it is! We love rhythm games! But the developer needs to do something about the level or the stages! At least let us start from where we last reach the level! Its frustrating that whenever we lose we have to start all over again from the beginning. From stage 1 again! How do you think us to reach all the level and get all the characters without dying?? Its fun but frustrating! Developers need to do something about this issue or else this is just a garbage.. A waste of time to play.
We really enjoy playing this game , BUT there are some glitches that should be considered fixing for the consumer who pays $16 a month just to play this game via nextlix. First , we see there was an update two weeks ago only adding two more characters which is fine, but the tapping response(sensitivity sensory) sometimes lags which causes the character(s) to run into an obstacle thus losing power until they conk out. Secondly, once you reach kuromis level and SUCCESSFULLY pass/win the level , the story ending NEVER loads, and you end up having to start all over not knowing of any unlocked characters that were achieved after maintaining and passing said level. We initially left a review regarding this app before with a positive update, but it just seems like the quality of this game keeps getting a bit worse. Nonetheless, we continue to play because we do enjoy playing when it does its best to TRY and work correctly. Please consider the consumers reviews and concerns. Otherwise, Im afraid $16 a month will have to stop. Update : in fact , since writing our review , Ive learned that all of the endings dont update anymore. We hope this is fixed soon Even after the two week update , endings still dont load. We wish the developers would try the game out to see the MANY glitches. Its been almost three – four months since this game launched and its still highly faulty.
THIS GAME IS GREAT we LOVE IT BEATING THE KIDS AND MAKING THEM UPSET IS PART OF IT BUT STILL ITS AMAZING we HAVE BEEN PLAYING IT FOR 7 HOURS STRAIGHT we CSNT STOP.
This game is really fun its just annoying when all your characters die you have to start all over again.
This game is so cute and pretty fun, but our progress is always lost every time we come back to it. We also had problems sensitivity of the buttons that other reviewers have mentioned.
How do you revive in this game.
The game is easy and not that fun to play.
Every time we save and quit or we leave the game our progress resets and Im back to square one please fix this issue its very annoying and frustrating.
At first when we downloaded this game we found it fun but once we got more than 3 characters we started to dislike It. We wanted to change our characters but then realized that you have to restart all your progress just to change your characters. You dont get your characters back when they die and if all of them die you have to restart again! What is the point of getting new characters If you have to restart to change them? Please make this game better with suggestions 1. Let us change our characters without having to restart 2. Bring our characters back to life after the parades, and if you cant do that at least add a feature so we can bring it back 3. When all of them die have them all come back to life and save our progress! Please make the game better.
We honestly think its fun and cute and great.
Perfect game and very well polished keeps u entertained for a while.
We completed the game and unlocked everyone. Fun game, not to easy so it does require some focus and work to get the hang of it. We just find it weird that Baku and Cinnamoroll arent characters in the game. Baku is literally shown in the promo images and funny enough one of our in game challenges says to level Baku up to level 3. Cinnamoroll is shown to be a fully rigged model in the ending cutscenes, so we dont understand why he isnt a playable character, hes already modeled and rigged, just put him in the game.
There is nothing wrong with this game we love hello kitty. At first we didnt know it was a rhythm game. When we found out it was we were super excited. We love Sanrio (Hello Kitty) and rhythm games. We honestly thought this game was going to be something like Beat Saber or OSU!. Its very hard to control the characters even when you play for awhile and try to get the hang of it you just get mad when you mess up. We understand that Netflix thought this game would be somewhat else but its truly not. Im not saying you shouldnt download this game but its very difficult and make sure you arent someone like us who gets mad easily when messing up games.
We LOVE sanrio and rhythm games so seeing this was a huge treat, tuxedo sam is our fave character and it made us so happy that he's an unlockable char. Since we don't see him represented as often in sanrio games!!! But there are so many bugs and difficulty issues that we wish you guys could fixsanrio is a HUGE market right now and this would be 1000% better with changes!!! 1.) difficulty!!! We would say we're pretty above average with rhythm games since we've played a good amount, but something about this one gets frustrating pretty easy… Maybe have a difficulty option menu or be more forgiving and add more hearts in stages? 2.) error with buttons and obtaining charactersthe sensitivity is kind of wonky sometimes like switching between chars or using abilities we would have to double tap and it would count as "lost rhythm" but our initial tap doesn't read in the first place! And obtaining new chars seem like they stay locked even if it says you did unlock them (we unlocked chococat but after a new game, he was still locked for us) 3.) can't use locked netflix accs? We couldn't use our own netflix profile since it would crash every time (it is pin locked) so we had to use our other family members profile instead. We have not had this issue with other netflix based games. 4.) more characters!! Especially since there are very popular sanrio chars like cinnamoroll, hangyodon, tiny chum, cogimyun, pekkle, etc… It would be nice to have a collection of more chars in the future! Even if you have to make multiple worlds/maps, it would be very successful to reach more audience with a wide range of favorite characters.
Update: Netflix took a full report of the issue and are looking into it. A+ customer service. Hoping a fix is quick! – Couple days ago it stops on loading but only after you finish a game and are trying to save final happiness points. So annoying losing all that progress. Please fix! Its happening to other users also. Love the game though.
Always crashes when we select any account and its update, the Netflix account is also paid so we dont understand.
This is a VERY good game, very fun, very interactive, with really good poppy upbeat music, it being sanrio characters just makes it top tier, but us and our sister have been playing this game for about a week now, both unlocking the simple characters, but when we get to the last levels, (the last rows with tuxedo sam, keroppi, and kuromi) weve both beat the levels, with points exceeding the minimum amount to win the characters but the game just acts like we win it and when we play a new game the characters remain locked and unable to be used were very upset about that.
Downloaded this game thinking we were gonna be able to see cinnamoroll dancing with the rest of his buddies but NOPE apparently he was forgotten. This is ridiculous netflix, he is apart of the crew too you cant just leave him out. Never deleted a game so fast.
This game is so cute and fun we love it sm.
Ive loved Hello Kitty and the Sanrio crew ever since we were born, and this game is a really high quality and unique game compared to other music and beat games. The concept is truly interesting. Its challenging and thats what we love about it. Makes you think and practice. Most of the songs in here are songs nobody knows because they were just released, but theyre all super catchy. We think youll have a fun time with this game, and we recommend it :) – Loaflie.
This is a great rhythm game and not too easy like we thought it was gonna be.
OMGGG we LOVE THIS GAME SOO MUCH ITS SO CUTE AND ADORABLE AND ITS SO FUNNN.
Ive been trying to open this game a few times everyday for the last week to no avail. Crashes on netflix profile select screen everytime we have iphone 13 updated ios.
