Community Insight:
We dont know what to say but… CUTE AAAAAAAAA.
Love the game but we wish they added more characters but other than that its amazing.
We like the idea of this game, and we think the visuals are great. That being said, it needs better music where the taps go with the beat something with a heavier rhythm, especially since this is a DJ game. Also, we think the difficulty curve needs some work. It needs to progressively get harder the longer youre in a round, rather than the seemingly random onslaught it is now. Overall though Im going to keep playing, we just hope it gets polished some more.
Really fun! A good time passer with adorable, abstract little characters and wonderful music! (Honestly, PLEASE release the soundtrack, Rollers song is amazing!).
So we downloaded the game because it looked fun.Only to be disappointed because it wont let us play it.Everytime we try to open the application it just closes itself out.we are very unimpressed.It seemed like a unique and fun game to play.Would've been nice to even try it out.
By far best game Ive ever played -string tummy.
First time playing the game we accidentally skipped the How To Play, so it was hard to figure out what to do. Once we did though we loved the gameplay of Jelly Dance. Its really good how there is a mix of easy at the beginning, but it does get pretty hard as you go on.
Where does you get da music? We luvs it. We also luv dis game. Our friend tolds us to get it and we donts regret it! LEL.
Ive had it for 30 minutes and im already in love.
We think this game will beat all other beat music dancing Camra creative game in the world.
This game is very cute and amazing. Im not really good at tap dance games and even though this is hard it is amazing and we will gladly play this to get better.
The records are really difficult to hit. Even if you are a little off it doesnt count. Im sure thats fun for some people but its just not enjoyable for us. We wish there could be a good, bad, perfect mode. Like if you miss completely then its an out but if its one of the other three it just adds up the points. Ill probably keep the app for a little bit just in hopes that itll get better over time but if it doesnt Ill just have to delete it. So fingers crossed that the game will change more in the future.
This app is a really interesting and cool concept! The characters are so cute, along with the sound effects and the designs of the game. We are giving this a four stars, because we feel that there should be more game modes and functions! Otherwise, this is an amazing game that is so creative and well made.
Jelly dance is a very fun game but it makes no sense at the same time and hard to play.
Im sad we didnt know it had legs we thought it was going to be jelly with a face jiggling.
This game is very good and has potential. Its only problem is its a little buggy. Sometimes when you have the right disk matches to the right turntable color, it says it was wrong, no matter how accurate you were. We believe once the bugs are worked out this will be a great game.
This game is confusing and we maybe the game should explain what we are trying to do. When we play this game its cute, and could be fun if there was some actual instructions, background, and an explanation. But everything from that its fine.
We love the graphics but we dont understand how to play. Someone please help.
We want to like the game but it seems like its registering a double tap, a lot. Leading to failure in the first 30 seconds. Add that to the fact that some notes seem to count as a miss before they even reach the center of the turntable, its just more frustrating than fun. Hopefully some patching fixes some of the delay response between notes and the hitbox on the notes. For what its worth, on an iphone 7+ ios 11.3. Doubt its hardware issue causing some of the frustration.
Why is it that the records never reach a point where we can tap them? No matter how little or long we wait, we can never tap them.
We were excited to play this game because it looked really cute but we could barely get through one game because it kept lagging, would force quit, and every time an ad popped up it just froze our entire phone. Not worth the download.
Its cute But sooooooooooooooo confusing.
We cant figure out how to play!!! But the music is nice and the characters are cute.
We are confused as to how you actually play this game. We didnt realize that you had to match corresponding colors until we looked at the other store reviews. We didnt realize you could switch the colors of the turntables until we looked up the trailer on Youtube. And we still cant get past the first level for whatever reason despite doing what appears to be most intuitive from that hard-to-find information. We love the look and idea of the game, but its very illogical in actual gameplay. Please add a tutorial. This is not worth a play until we know how to play.
If you miss a record tap even buy a half a millimeter it goes off and you lose. Plus its not consistent. One second itll be in a certain position in the next second itll be in a slightly higher position and then youve missed your mix. Im not seeing how This is consistently playable so we have to delete this app. Nice try though. Wish we couldve heard the first song at least. Would have been nice just to have a practice mode.
We open the game up then it just crashes btw the music is good tho thumbs up for that.
The game isnt really starting. It shows the screen with the developers title on it and then it shows it connecting to Game Center. After that, the background stays white and freezes there for a few seconds before crashing out of the app. We tried like 5 times but it still isnt working ;-; Hopefully youll fix it soon, looks very cute to play.
In the App Store it says we have the app. But it doesnt show up on our phone. Like the app isnt with our other ones. And then we cant search for it in the search bar on our phone. But we can play it by going through the App Store and clicking open, but once we hit home thats it, we cant go back into it by double clicking or anything. Im annoyed. We cant even uninstall it through the App Store to try and redownload so we can try and fix it.
Got duped into paying two dollars, for what? We dont know. We are especially frustrated with the fact that we cant find a tutorial after the initial instructions, HOW DO we PLAY? Our boyfriend figured it out, so we dont need the answer but still.. It wouldve been nice to find it on our own. Now he wont let us uninstall it.
Is that all it does? Its so confusing and stupid. This is a poopily made app.
Records dont match the timing of the beat in any way. Thats pretty much the sole purpose of a rhythm game.
Do not download this game (1)we aint good at it (2)its so stupid.
The art is fantastic and we were really excited to play this game! We read the instructions and watched the videos, and we still cant figure out exactly how this is supposed to be done. Ive played tons of games like this, and while this has great potential you REEEEALLY need a better way to teach people how to play it. Dont TELL your customers how to play, SHOW them.
A game with an excruciatingly slow gameplay speed (records dropping), coupled with ridiculously high standards of precision (records overlapping with turntables). No fun, not grooving. Unfortunate thing, game has cute design and good tunes :/.
The game itself has a nice and friendly premise but we couldnt for the life of us figure out why we were missing every beat. Turns out if your not pixel perfect with every record, the game counts it as a miss… If you wait till its perfectly aligned the game thinks that you waited too long and will count it as a miss. This game would be great if you could get Nice! Great! Perfect! Or a Miss! But instead the game made us want to uninstall in the first couple minutes of playing.
Every time we try to the play the game it always lags out a lot, and then crashes. The longest we were able to play it was thirty seconds. With lag. :/.
This game is very difficult to understand because of the poor description of instructions. Although the graphics and animations are cute. We suggest a step by step tutorial when playing the game for new players.
Alright so we havent played this but, WHY DID IT RANDOMLY APER ON MEH PHONE???! We dont remember the last time we went on this app, its been like a month, why is this on our phone and why havent we realized it.
It seems like the gameplay has nothing to do with the rhythm of the music.
It wont even let us tap them at the right time it is always like a inch ahead of where Im supposed to tap it .then when we wait for it to be perfect says we got it wrong.
As a huge hip hop fan this game is a an excuse to make money with the term hip hop as a term to lure in people for revenue.
Even before we play it's already bad. It takes super long to load and when it does load it crashes. Our phone also freezes. The only thing that's good about it is the intro music that we manage to hear before it crashes on us again.
It lags constantly and barely wants to stay open without crashing or freezing.
We dont know how to play the game.
It will not let us see the instructions.
This game looked like a cool rhythm game, but after 10 minutes of trying to figure out how to play the game, we finally figured it out enough to play (tap in the middle to switch the turntables). After all that, the gameplay was frustrating and boring, and the song in the background was not really to the beat of the taps, and we assume that you have to get a bunch of golden records to even change to a better song. Not what we expected at all from what it looked like.
Every time we open the app it crashes… Sooo we cant really give a fair rating of the app until you fix this, it looks like a good game so fix the bug.
We wish we could give this a try and play it, but on our iPhone 6+ the game lags to the point of it crashing each time we try to load it.
We had to wait to play because it was a preorder, and it wasnt worth the wait. Played it five minutes and uninstalled. Couldnt even finish one song because of the way its played and you can only miss three times.
