Por fin encontr algo que vale la pena jugar aunque an no s cmo se compran o se consiguen ms canciones.
We have been trying to find a rhythm game like this for years and its really made a difference.
Its a very good game for osu mania players and others.
Theres lag we do like the game it just lags.
We need the dance cube skin back pleeeeeeese.
We have a request please add the song egoist we would be so happy if you did not have to download the songs too but other that its preety much awsome.
Its amazing it has rush E to so go it.
We started this game yesterday and instantly enjoyed it. We played for 2 days and got our first 100%.
This game is amazing but it needs a better scoring and ranking system, we should be able to see how top players like pp points like osu or quaver, also make skins more easier to access along with a search bar for it.
Its a good game although it had cost 2dollar the music in it is free.
We cant tell you how AMAZING this game is! Its like osu! But for iOS and Android. And the UI might be a tiny bit clunky, but overall an amazing game.
This is a great game but theres a major problem with the user sign in. We made an account on the website but when we sign in on the app, it says that its wrong. Is there any way to find our password for Kitsu198 we would be glad if you can send us our password for the game.
We have really enjoyed this game! It has everything when it comes to rhythm games, you can side load osu maps, you can download maps from their in game store, you can do just about anything! HOWEVER! We had problems with the app which led to our app being deleted and all our songs that we have gained in the years we have played this game. Please game devs add a back up option to the game if possible so if others have the same problems they dont have to start from scratch. Other than that we really love this game, so we dont mind starting from scratch again. Thank you developers.
Its a really good game, we cant figure out how to import BMS files but its fun as always.
We like Malody very much because of its spirit of being free of charge and the sense of innovation, which is quite magnificent among most of the current rhythm games so we reckon the cost on iOS is worth it. However, during the gameplay, we still sense a bit of discomfort. The sudden stop of the touch make it even impossible to press consecutive notes that is only one beat next to the next note, and of course the sequential holds. Please fix this bug in the next update.
Ive only been playing for a few days, and Ive had a lot of fun, actually. Ive been downloaded osu! Mania charts and playing them on Malody, and it works flawlessly. We also love the simplicity of the editor, (now that we were able to get into it) and Im currently working on one of our own charts. Very exciting, Im glad we bought this game.
When we think of a rhythm game we think of hard. When we think of rhythm games we think of creativity & they did exactly that. We have been so impressed of what this app can do that we prefer to play this over some rhythm games that are popular to this day. It appeals to any rhythm gamer with it's various modes; not to mention mods, skins & difficulty spike in timing windows that you can modify. We recommend this rhythm game to both veterans and beginners of any sort of mania, JuBeat, osu!ctb, taiko player. Same goes with the slide mode. (Ring is an original concept unless you compare it ro BeatStream).
We think this game is definitely worth the price since now we can play basically osu mania on our phone and IPad. We just would like 1 small update if possible. We would like to be able to tap more towards the top of our screen to click the notes (on piano/mania) because our phone feels wierd when we need to click the very bottom of our screen to hit the notes. Otherwise great game.
A mi us gusta este juego simplemente por que tiene ms Canciones que cualquier aplicacin y lo mejor es que t puedes elegir qu canciones t puedes bajar o crear.
The majorization is so good, better than most other apps. One thing is inconvenient, we have bad memory, and repeatedly downloading maps that we have. Is it possible to blind the maps we already have? Tkx.
Be sure to set ur offset in settings and you are good 2 go.
This is a good game, but downloading skins are pretty complicated and it took us about an hour to find the right tutorial, overall we recommend giving this game a try.
We just got the game and from what we had experienced it is super fun! But we cant log in. We registered our account and tried logging in from the menu screen and from the offline screen but it always says Server Error then Signing in we dont know if anyone else has had the same issue. We even tried restarting our phone and deleting and reinstalling the app but nothing is working.
This game would be an actual full on 5 star if it was not for the annoying amounts of problems we have with getting a good 2d skin. The starting skin has so much glow on the taps that its impossible to play hard charts. We would love if it was way easier and more excessible to get better skins.
Good game better if less links jumped. By the way , if the coordinates of the combo counter can be modified, it would be awesome.
Over we think the 4k part of the game is good however after playing it for a while we still could not get used to the button hit boxes why do they have to be at the bottom of the screen? Like especially with our ring fingers they always go higher than where the hit box for the button actually is so if you could make the hit box taller that would be nice or add the option to change layout of the gui.
Great community, you can make your own songs , reminds us of step mania.
We want to download new beatmaps but to do so we need an account but when we register we dont get the activation email.
At the time Im writing this we got this game last night and so far its great but there are a few problems that we have with this game. For context we are high level at some rhythm games like arcaea, cytoid and some keyboard games. One thing that we dont get are you have to set a scroll speed for each song instead of one set speed and also we did it know you had to spend gold on charts and the game still lets you download charts even if you dont have enough. Also this might be a problem that we just have but we cant make a new chart from a new song. Overall this is a great rhythm game with the fact that it has many different modes and the fact that we finally have a working mobile key rhythm game. Another thing that we would like to have is to have keyboard support on this version. If it already is its not working for us.
After we downloaded we tried making an account, all of our info was correct, but it said the account we just registered didnt exist. The game is great, but Id like to know how to fix this problem? :).
We downloaded this a couple days ago, and upon trying to make an account, we noticed that it wouldnt let us sign in. We knew we were entering our correct information (email, password, etc.) but we still couldnt get in. Upon trying to register our account, we were denied access as we were told our account didnt exist. Is this a recurring problem or id it just us? (The gameplay is great, overall.).
Its very fun but whenever we try to login? It never works and it asked for our confirmation code and it didnt send. And when we exited out of the app and went back it, it wouldnt load it.
Game is nice but literally UNPLAYABLE on devices with narrow screens such as iPhone 11+ because of the overly strict hitboxes for the leftmost/rightmost tracks, where any tap must be made below like 30% the length of the screens width. This is hilarious considering how slim an iPhone 11+ is. The hitboxes at least for the 1st and 4th tracks should be adjusted.
Always face with server error is disappointing. This game would worth 5 stars if the server becomes better. Malody isnt a free game, we hope the problem would be fixed.
Hi! So we played the game and its really good but there is a small issue, we keep getting server error when we try to log into the game! We tried reinstalling it, doing everything we can, even making another account but it still isnt working and im upset. If anyone can fix that, it would be GREAT! We spent 2 dollars on it- it better get fixed :).
We are top 500 on the mode Catch the best we think that It needs more content like Maps and Skins we also think that there should be more tournaments for Catch.
So we bought this game last night, seeing lots of people have Malody and saying its good so we wanted to give it a try. Our specific problem is the fact that the Hitbox is to small for us. We dont know if Im gonna get used to it because all the time we literally press on a note it counts as a miss.. We think its outrageously stupid so please fix this on your next update (we doubt you will).
Words cant describe how happy we were when we were going to download this because we love rhythm games. When we were registering all there was were server errors. We even tried waiting a few days and nothing worked. We thought this would be a good game.
Well first off it was playing the same song over and over again and it was a waste of 2.18 cents.
Theres a bug in this game Where Everytime we log into our accounrt when its randomly logged out.
This app is very bad for IOS. We logged in on our IPad dis does not work. We tried logging in with 2 emails and says error. Waste of money shouldnt have bought.
We got a new ipad recently since our old one stopped updating. We cant log on our account at all, it only says server error. Meaning we have no songs at all. Im able to log onto our account with our phone which doesnt make sense and does us no good.
Horrible for IOS dont get it you cant get online skins its only for Android.
Every time we try to sign in it does not work and gets stuck on signing in.
Good experience for rhythm game lover.
Theres so many different game modes we dont know where to start… More than osu! Only problem is downloading maps and skins on iOS but other than that, this game was definitely worth our 99.
A rhythm game that works on your iPhone with many modes, but there are a few problems. Firstly, not all the modes (like DJ and Step) work with the phone port. The real Malody is a computer game as well, which gives certain people advantages. People who play Catch usually do it on mobile because its insanely easier, but some people who play key (the most popular mode that everyone only seems to care about) play both mobile and on PC to get double points. The charts are decent, however the offset isnt universal meaning some songs can be off beat resulting in weird accuracy. It wouldnt be an issue if the automatic offset compensator turned the offset to match the maps before the song, but you can only do it after you submit a score. Also, there seems to be a lack of charts for modes like Taiko. As a Taiko player ourselves on other games, we find the mode to be a bit strange. Even if you dont hit the drum, the Kat and Don sounds for every note still play. It makes us feel like we have auto on and messes with our timing and accuracy. We truly wish there was a way to disable this. The ranking system is a bit strange. You go up the leaderboards from XP, which is earned based on how hard a song is and how you play it. There are mods that can be fun, but we dont know the score multiplier of each and we wish the leveling system was explained. Barely anything is explained even on the website, which only shows the top 50 of each rank and no one else. You can still search players, but we wish it were more expansive. The friend system, global chat, and challenges are a good step in the right direction but we would like to see more. We were very critical on Malody because we want there to be a perfect mobile rhythm game that supports a lot of modes. As of now, this is the closest we have, and it really isnt that bad. If you can get used to the cluttered format and learn the leveling system, youll have fun. In any case, give it a try. You probably wont regret it.
We love Malody its like taiko no tatsujins English brother and theres nothing wrong with that but theres a bug when you make a song in taiko mode, THERES ONLY THREE SONG BLOCK TILE THINGS (sorry we did not mean to sound offensive we love the game but you know what we mean, THERES A BUG) so PLEASE read this and fix this one bug and we will give the game a five star rating again! Thanks.
That moment when you pass shun no shidofu on your iphone.
This has to be one of the best music games on the market right now. Don't let the .99 scare you off, most music games hide all their songs behind a paywall at $5 for a few songs. After paying a dollar, you can have hundreds of songs with more being made by the player base. And you can even import levels from other games like Osu.
