Community Insight:
Please add more levels. We beat it in two hours. It was so much fun. Thank you for this game.
Phenomenal game glad we bought it back in 2021 we love games like this.
The art style is beautiful and the gameplay is extremely relaxing, especially with the synced hits of the ball. The only things we can critique are the length, and the lack of an infinite version. The ending is also kind-of confusing. The music is very good though and the game overall exceeded our expectations ten-fold.
Bad comments are because it is hard. Once you get the groove going, its amazing. Huge thank you to the developer for including input from the arrow keys on an external keyboard. One suggestion would be to put the song title and bpm on the screen in game. Id buy this game 10x over, bravo.
If a zen mode with no consequences could be added it would really bring the vibe up.
There are some ui issues (some stuff gets cut off in the screen edges on some screens- never anything critical) but other than that this is a very unique and addicting rhythm game well worth a dollar.
We didnt understand how to play at first, but once we got the hang of it the game was fun. Probably should have a demo to show you how to play.
Not too challenging, and we ended up beating it after a couple hours. It took us a while to get the hang of it at first. We love the lofi music, thats honestly our favorite part. Its an awesome, chill game and Ill definitely be playing it again.
We bought this game on PC, Nintendo Switch and iOS, the difficulty is quite different across platforms, on PC there is no room for mistake, but there are more info about the storyline, you can check messages in the phone and the menu is a train stop. On switch you get 3 chances like iOS, but slightly more difficult than iOS because touching the screen is the most intuitive way of control. Overall this game is a piece of art, its just that the song list seems incomplete, the last song is called acceptance and its not in the player once you beat the game, maybe you can unlock more songs by getting higher scores, just our guess.
This game is amazing its fun addicting and it have a great score we sure hope we get a medal for finishing candid on double ball mode though cause that was a painful thing to attempt to do.
It would be cool if you continued to update the game with new songs or give us the option to make custom tracks in the game. Great game btw for just a 1$ :).
A lot of reviews are from people who dont know how to play the game. (we e tap in rhythm) Ignore them. Its actually a great game.
Its the perfect thing to put your headphones on and play on a rainy day or the in the bus.
It was difficult for us to get used to the game initially, but once we got the hang of it, it was fun. A lot of the negative reviews written for this game are generally from people that gave up, didnt take the time to learn how to play the game, or got frustrated. It is challenging, we can tell you that, but it is definitely a game worth playing. This game is worth the dollar in our opinion, but there should be a free trial option for the people that are unsure. Maybe then, the game will be recognized for how great it is.
This game is great, and honestly one of the best simple pick-up and play apps out there. Its not overly complicated. It knows what it is and does a great job with it. Its a great little rhythm game, perfect for mobile. It could definitely use more songs, the story mode is a bit odd and really short, and the app display is really awkward at least on iPhone 12, but its still a really novel experience that we cant wait to see the future of. Definitely worth the $0.99 and download.
The game is very calm and challenging at the same time, it has a great feel to it and would suggest to spend 1$ on this if you will play it.
Now Im not one to write a review but seeing that this game was a 3.3 star was baffling to us because back before all the major companys made games and started the whole pay to win systems. Games like these are a treasure a simply enjoyable game and if people didnt like it was most likely it probably was because they the creator hasnt made enough content on the game yet but slowly there will be more.
We think this game is really nice, the art, the music, the story, everything. It has a really nice feel that even when we mess up its still ok and Im not mad. It still is challenging and we mess up a lot, but it is still a brilliant work of art.
Please keep updating and adding more story we really love this game.
We came from the desktop version on Steam. An extraordinary, relaxing game. We like how refined the mobile version is. We appreciate the keyboard support on this version. One suggestion: make the game less forgiving for keyboard players on mobile.
Really relaxing game; we love how the metronome matches when ur hitting the ball. Sound track is excellent. Wish there were more levels to play but its very good as is.
We were skeptical at first at this game. We thought it would be bad. But once we got in it was kinda confusing at first. The ball would keep going through our paddle. But, we then realized that the ball comes at a beat. So you would tap at the same time as the best goes. Sometimes its kinda off. But really you want to hit the ball once it lands inside your little boxes on the bottom near your character. It was confusing at first. But once we got the hang of that. The levels were nice and challenging nothing to hard. Over all it was a pretty cool game. We loved the lofi music in the background. Very calm. If there were more levels to be added that would make it so much fun. We spent at least 25 minutes on this and already beat all the levels. Making more levels would be fun! Also would probably want some more clarification on the tutorial so people dont get confused. But overall, fun game and we would recommend to anyone whos bored and needs a little game. We for sure loved it.
We love lo-fi. Its our go to study music. Now this game is our go to get distracted from studying music. Big fan.
This game really helps us calm down, its such a relaxing environment to just chill with.
We came across this scrolling across the App Store page just yesterday, and saw this little gem. It looked like an interesting concept (and Ive been a little more involved with rhythm games lately), so we bought it. Didnt play it today and, we have to say, its a fun, relaxing, and yet invigorating game! Controls are simple, and its up to you to sync yourself to the beat. Definitely worth spending money on <3.
This game is very fun. We beat it really fast but nonetheless one of our favorite games on our phone.
Its irritating not being told what was wrong with the game until we came here and read someones review explaining that you have to tap inside the square on the beat itself to not get a strike, and to progress the game forward act as a metronome thats deciding which square to hit at the exact moment a metronome would. Music is good, the story ran a lot deeper than expected for such a short game with little context, but overall explain the tutorial better people would love this game more.
We got it for free, but this game is usually 0.99 cents, which is still pretty cheap. Pros: The pricing, fair, but also reasonable The gameplay, reminds us of an old bemani title, something along the lines of reflecbeat, which the ball bouncing around the table. The music, we don't listen to much lofi, but we can groove to this music, so it's aight. We like Kovox Pitch's (the other rhythm game made by the dev, it's only on steam though) music a lot more though. (Favorite track: forever) The art style, the menus look like they've been pulled from an old computer os, and the art itself is crisp and smooth. (Fits the music too!) The cons: Judgement is sound based, which we like (it is a rhythm game after all!) but the judgement strays from when the ball hits the judgement line (this can be patched!) Tl;dr: it's good for the price, but it does have an issue which does take you out of the flow state. 4.5/5 good job.
The UI scaling is a little messed up for mini iPhones but other than that its a wonderful game with a great sound track.
We love this game but we just need more ya know.
We love this game a lot we cant get past the first level (its our bad) but still love it none the less and we will be getting it on steam once we have the money. We do recommend.
Its a pretty unique idea, combining a ping pong game with a rhythm game and we think the result is pretty fun! 4 stars because its kind of hard to learn at first and tapping the middle of an iPad Pro while holding it is kind of hard but its still a pretty nice game and we think you should try it.
The game is fun and easy for the musically inclined, really hard for those who dont have rhythm. Buttons and the feedback on the bottom right are cut out a little on iPhone 12 Pro. The phone camera blocks the option to change main menu background as well. TL;DR: Put an option in the settings menu to have IPhone 12 pro support, otherwise, very good game.
We love this game. We love the vibe its very relaxing. We enjoy playing and Im already getting good. There are no glitches what so ever. We have a question, could you do online games with friends.
The core gameplay of this game is great, it has good art, its fun to play, and we liked the majority of the music. Its a great vibe overall. The story, however, is practically nonsensical; at least in English. Its just a bunch of non connected phrases by different characters. The opponent youre up against also doesnt change who you play against in the actual game. We enjoy playing through the story mode, but the story aspect of that mode is defiantly where Id appreciate some more work put in.
Really simple, short game and has relaxing music. We think the tutorial could be explained better; you have to tap INSIDE the little squares, not on the screen itself. Another thing is that you need to make sure you tap to the BEAT, not when you think the ball is going to go into the square. There is some delay in between, so go with the beat. We had the same issues with playing the game at first like other reviews, but we think our performance slightly improved when we turned off the camera movement and zoom in the settings, so hopefully that works for you too. Overall, we like the music and vibe of the game. Its really simple and can be played at any time. You can re-play songs after you finish them in story mode and set different game rules for them, so theres some replay-ability. Some things we would suggest is definitely a redo of the tutorial section so people dont get confused. It also feels like the story isnt finished, and Im not sure if the developer is planning on adding more info? We do wish more could be explained about the main character though. One last thing is a zen mode where you can play infinitely without strikes, which would be nice.
We love the idea but its just so difficult. Ill keep up with the rhythm great but if we miss it just by a millisecond it screws us up for the rest of the game and we cant even get through the first stage. Which that may be our problem but we were reading the reviews and many people are having the same issues.
Its cute and has a great art style, but the gameplay itself is off-beat and difficult to understand the first time around. Youve got to tap the square right before the beat hits and it took us a good few tries to figure it out.
We love the idea and the vibe of the game but the rhythm you have to hit the ball just doesnt seem to line up right with the music.
So Ive seen a lot of reviews saying that they cant hit the ball, if you pay attention to the tutorial, you have to wait for the ball to be inside one of the three squares before tapping to hit it, with that being said, the game is quite bland and we will be requesting a refund.
It is a good game but it should have more clarification in the tutorial and we don't know why the ball keeps going through the paddle.
After the 3rd or 4th hit, the ball keeps going through the paddle no matter the timing on our tap. Flawed game. Dont buy.
There must be a bug where we cant get past the fourth hit. The ball goes through us no matter what. So this was a wasted effort.
- Ball hitting point is slightly drifted from bgm beat. 2. Ipad horizontal (landscape) mode with "showing girl" option completely unplayable because graphic resolution cause the hitting boxes to show at wrong place.
It won't ever let us hit the ball. We have yet to get a single point even in the tutorial.
Ive played our fair share of rhythm games (DDR, ITG, Stepmania, Guitar Hero on heavy/expert etc) and something isnt right here. No matter how we change our timing, we cant consistently hit. We tried on an iPhone XS and an iPad 6th gen.
Developers take a hint from the countless people complaining that they cant figure out how to play and fix the tutorial, and then once youve done that go back and fix the game itself cause we cant make the character swing no matter how on beat we tap inside the boxes like the 2nd level with two balls is totally broken.
Dunno why developer put a timer into his app that limits the swing time…. The ai is too OP… Do not buy.
Try not playing and youll see your characters ball make a few right hits then bam you miss despite never touching the screen.
Glitches cant get past 4 taps on Level 1. Doesnt matter where we tap or when we tap. It always stops after the 4th return.
