Community Insight:
This game is great game, but it needs an update. Why?Well its because on the level elevator exposure in techno town. When we always go to the arena where you get the Monomal, in the first challenge or in the second challenge, the game crashes no matter what we do. Im not able to collect the Monomal. Is there a way to fix this problem? Thank you for your help.
This is an AMAZING game from gameplay to music maker. HOWEVER, every time we make it to the end of the last level in the third world it crashes EVERY SINGLE TIME. We know the game is old but please fix this.
We think the music maker is pretty good but we think it can have a bigger keyboard. Other than that we think its.
This game is just perfect from fishing rod to hook, and its really a nice challenge with some great music making fun! The only problem we want to be fixed is when all of the progress isnt saved when you delete it, but other than that, we highly recommend it for players who are up for a challenge or music enjoyers alike.
The only reason why we play monamals is because our dad introduced us. And we were all so happy about it. We would have loved to see you play it but we cant 5stars would really recommend for your family. Why are we GLITCHED but the title screen is vr this was the best thing Ive ever seen on the internet but today we GLITCHED out 7 times and you play as a fishhooks ayo.
All right, so we played this game before when we were like 3 or four And but we didnt get far before look at first level of the second world is kind of hard, but we still love this game and we will forever will.
We love destroying those head spinners.
In bullet mahem theres the new enemy which shoots the bullets, but that not why Im talking about the level ITS THE SHOOTER as in the thing you control to shoot bullets its just that its very hard to control you have to shoot the flying enemys and its SO ANOYING when theres 12 of them in the same place so could you fix the control for the blaster? :D.
There is no better music game everrrrrrrrrrr.
So. In tecno town and you play level seven elevator exposure and you get to the monamal and in the first challenge of the coin getting and you get all three it chrashes. Also the maker needs another octave and maybe the ability to play two monamalls at the same time and place.
So Ive really been loving the game so far but once we got to the final level of techno town, we got every single one of the coins but then when we got to the bath and beat the first level, the game crashed we tried it again and it happened again. It might not happen the third time, but still we might consider looking into this.
When you get to the first checkpoint on the seventh level for the tiger, it freezes you. You cant move or dash or anything. We havent gotten to the next checkpoint, so that might fix it.
This is the bestest game EVER.
Reminds us so much of super mario games!!! With a musical twist!! We love it.
Its a game that you fish and its a music game game and we love it and you control the fishing pole and got to get much. Does it make more meat and theres a Lotta Mabs.
Great game wish there'd be more updates and hope to see this game grow.

We love this game so much its so cool we give this A 1000/10.
Freaking amazing. Musically groovy, optically impressive, fun level boards, and just an overall incredible game. Play this or suffer a life of sadness.
We really love Monomals and have some ideas for new DJs such as Pop, maybe Classical, and Dance DJs. We have produced 11 songs (2 of them our younger sister actually made) 3 gold Records, 2 Diamond. We will list us and our sisters songs below. Our Artist is called MONSTRKTTY (Picomy in response please call us that). Anyways, we love your game, havnt slowed down playing since we downloaded it. Thanks! Us and our Sisters Songs : (Ill add to this review our batterys really low so Ill type here later. Thank you!).
This is a amazing arcade game you can play.
For someone who has always been interested in music creation, this presents a fun and easy way to do it. Game itself is a superb action platformer side scroller, giving major SNES vibes.
The graphics are SO good love it! Great for people who like to strategize or who loves music.
Im a musician who composes and arranges MIDI tracks using piano roll editors and we have to say, this is amazing! The game is cute and fun while catching Monomals but then the real fun starts for musicians when you get to use them, basically as virtual instruments, to create original music. Ive never played a game quite like this and we love it. We might even try to get our near 3-year old to play with the editor because we think it would be a great way for kids to learn to make music in DAWs. In the beginning youre limited to just 4 tracks (drums, bass and lead) and one monomal (VST), but Im guessing you can expand that to more tracks and get a nice assortment of sounds. We like that you can save original compositions and share them online. You can even get votes and climb the leaderboard with your original tracks and thats awesome. Musicians will love this game, and so will anyone else with a pulse.
Why is groovy gravity imposible.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE EXITING FREE UPDATE AND THANK YOU!!!!!1!1!1!1!!!!1!11.
Techno Town should go through massive patching, level 4 and 7 crash almost every time, also, while we have the chance to ask, how do you get MC Scratch and how do you use him as a DJ.
Its very fun but its also very hard so could you add a easy mode also we found this bug which when you die by a dolphin it kicks you out of the game.
This is a great game, feels like Nintendo, but theres a glitch with the final boss level in techno town. Every time we get through the first phase of the boss, it crashes. If you havent abandoned this game yet, could you fix this.
Its crazy when that happens it make us wanna delete the game.
When we beat the first challenge of the techno town boss we kicked us out of the game. Now we cant get past stage 4 techno town :( (Mobile IPad).
We love this game because it is so fun and the style is awesome!!!! We recommend this game.
When we were fighting the Monomals, (it was more like getting them to stop being an introvert) after each section of the battle there would be a 95% chance that the water would glitch, the game would freeze (occasionally crash) and the music would surprisingly keep playing as usual, but no visual effects (like the Monomals music notes) would be seen. Still a great game! We had (and am having) a lot of fun with this game, and we would rate 5 stars if not for that teeeeny weeeeny problem. Bye Bye! Good day to you.
Fisher, we want to say the actual gameplay was fair/good. We didnt spend a ton of time with it, reasons later in this review. The game is arcade style steer your character and interact with various elements of the environment, avoid the baddies and make it to the boss of each level, who you then capture by steering your character, frequently using the elements present in that level. What we did and continue to find super fun is creating music. Each level you beat in the game adds a new instrument for you to compose with, and that, to us, is the best part of this game. One slight problem/annoyance we have is that all of your compositions are constructed in 4/4 time, meaning that it is difficult to create something like a waltz, for example. It can be worked around, but it makes copying drums/bass to extend out the song a little annoying. Overall, decent game, but to us the mini game of composing and sharing your own creations is the highlight. Thanks for reading, check us out on the weekly leaderboards for created music.
The game is really fun to make music but the levels are kinda annoying and every time we get to the boss it crashes.
We hope they make the gameplay deeper. Would love more.
Theres a lot of bugs in the game and we need your help.
We enjoy the game play but after completing 4 stages in each world we get bumped to the next world without being able to go back and finish the rest. How do you revisit the older worlds.
Although we enjoy most of the game, IT KEEPS CRASHING WHEN we HIT THE SECOND BUZZER IN THE ARENA. Now we wont be able to progress through the story. We hate that. Fix this please, all you wonderful people at Picomy.
On the last part of the techno level we were just about we were done with the final with the first boss level and then it just glitched and then it just took us out of the game and they just logged us out of the app so we think it needs to be fixed and maybe another update soon other wall we finished all the other parts. Its very fun but just that one part just keep happy. Thank you.
Its a good game but once you get to a certain point its gets sooooooo hard. We like it, just that 4 year olds wont know how to do most of this stuff.
Amazing game for music producers but was unbeatable we have a newer iPad and the game would always crash on the cat level number 4 game looks amazing and reminds us of Kirby but might be too much for apple to handle also the sounds chosen are disappointing wouldve made sense to include more noticeable sounds and a animal who makes trap beats.
Every time we go into techno town and we play elevator exposure, it always kicks us out.
The controls are really bad when we move it goes so far away. Its like we cant control the thing! We dont like the CONTROLS. The music part we like just not the levels.
So when we first started playing the game, it felt right for us. But when we got further into the levels, it began to get more challenging. And we like that! But this is where our rate drops down we were playing one of the levels just when we hit the first obstacle, it was fine. But on the sixth and fifth one, we got stuck and said to ourselves that Ill try again tomorrow. Sunday: we tried our HARDEST to get around it when we figured out that THEREFORE THERE IS NO WAY OUT OF HERE!!!!!!! So we quit the game and deleted it. It was SOOOOO BAD.
Why is the game backed us out when we were trying to get the Monomals the game backed us out.
Everybody in our family plays with us.
After playing this game for a couple hours, we can safely say that this is a must play! We didnt really expect much from this, but the eye-catching colors and adorable style threw us into it, and as we played we only got more and more impressed. The music maker is what especially caught us by surprise. Fantastic job on this game, it is well worth the recognition and if you havent already, give it a shot! Dont stop the bop.
This is a really great game, but there is a glitch. One time, we made our own song, and submitted it on Hot 99, so we could use it in the levels but then, we were Playing Rocky Rhino, but we didnt want our music to be there, so we tried to turn it off but it was not working. Then we decided to delete the song because we thought it was work. But it didnt! Now every time we try to play the Rock Ridge, the app crashes and sends us back to the home menu! Please fix this.
We love this game in every way lol we also like the music maker give this game a try if u see this.
