Not so much a rhythm game as it is a test of your reaction time to visual stimuli across very repetitive stages. Doesn't feel good to play since my actions are often not synced well to the backing track.

music is bad and the obstacles don't match up with the music at all. Just feels like a thousand nothing obstacle courses. The visuals are cool for a little bit but get old after 30 minutes of staring at abstract geometrical shapes moving around with a bunch of flashing colors and lights

OK "rhythm" game that looks like a fever dream. Gameplay is intuitive, but most section feel copy-pasted and the final section makes the game go out with a whimper. The only things to take away from this is a headache, especially so if you can't handle flashing lights.

100% achievement completion boils down to S-ranking every level, which then boils down to spamming restart after every mistake. Overall, a "Meh" experience.

I really don't get it. I also don't get the price.
Maybe nice to try on sale, but would never recommend at 20$.

Music is calm/ambient sounds with a beat. It's really difficult for me to feel anything about it.
I suggest you listen to 1 track yourself before buying the game.

There are some cool things in sound design (not tracks themselves), but they didn't translate into any gameplay value to me.

The beat in early stages shifts between 1-4 hits per second (almost a tribal beat), but there are consistently fewer inputs required then there are audible hits. If you play rhythm games this feels like playing easy difficulty of fast paced song. e.g. you hear 12 impacts in an interval, but game only requires 2 or 3 inputs. It feels as bad as perfect-parrying an attack and then not being able to attack for some reason.

I hear it picks up in later stages, but I didn't feel like going through 30 minutes of music I don't enjoy to MAYBE get to fun gameplay. Sadly, there's no option to just go to further stage directly.

Maybe it's good for casual audience though.

This game offers visuals, weird music and interesting sound design.
If you can't find value in those this game's price is very difficult to justify.

You effectively get 9 songs (no alternate maps for different difficulties as far as I can see) so 9 maps.
With 9 maps and 20$ price each map costs 2$+, which makes it THE most expensive rhythm game I have ever played.

Here are a few other games for reference:

• Beat saber Volume 1 alone has 9 songs with 3-4 difficulties each (also 1 handed mode). That's at least 27 maps for 30$ and you actually get more than 1 volume.
  
• Hatsune Miku: Project Diva/Magical Mirai typically have 25-40 songs with 4 difficulties each, which is 100-160 maps for 60$ (not counting Megamix, because that one partially reuses maps from old games).
  
• Deemo 1/2 (free mobile game) has music packs that cost ~1.2$ per song, each of which as 3 or 4 difficulties so.
  
• There are also music games with dense music collections and crazy value (Muse Dash, DJMax, Hatsune Miku: Megamix)

Interesting visuals but the levels are way too repetitive compared to other games of the genre. This game just dragons on for too long. Honestly, just buy Sayonara Hearts if you want a more condensed and fun experience.

eh

I'm not a huge rhythm game guy, but I got my teeth cut with Audiosurf 1 & 2, then sharpened with Beat Saber and Pistol Whip. I can hold a beat in my head, and this game... doesn't feel very interconnected with its own elements.
The music could be better, the challenges on the track don't feel super connected with the beat/song, so what you end up with is just... an obstacle course game that relies in part on aesthetic, and in part on passing as a rhythm game, which it honestly doesn't feel like.

The VR mode is... present. I found it a little disorienting and unpleasant for my tastes, but who knows, maybe my VR legs aren't as sturdy as I thought them to be? It largely doesn't feel like the game really benefits a whole lot from having it, to be honest.

I don't like to pound on an indie, but this game genuinely feels overhyped by everyone who said it was the best thing since sliced bread or something. Best rhythm game of 2016? How many were there that year that it warranted a specific award for it? Sounds a little overblown to me...

i want to love it like i loved Rez but it's just boring. wish the music was more engaging. levels are needlessly long as if they want to be grind-y or hardcore but they're dead simple and repetitive. big yawns.

This isn't a rhythm game it's a memory game, there doesn't seem to be sound cues and 80% of the time you are reacting to walls and jumps you couldn't see, which then you die, you go through again and get a S only because you remembered where the issue was, this isn't even worth 4$ which at the time is 80% off of the price. don't buy it thinking it's a rhythm game.

My biggest problem with the game is it does not communicate effectively enough.

First, the mechanics are not well indicated. There were several things I had to either looks up or try to figure out by trial and error. Only after several hours of play and reading some other comments do I now realize what they were trying to say with the first "tutorial." Jump on the squares, but they are optional, only for points. Whereas things like blocks/turns/evades are non-negotiable.

Second, the pace is quite fast. You must queue information as far ahead as possible. But with the track all rotating in the distance and the rather monotone color theme, I think they artificially increased the difficulty. Also, the action sounds play over the heads-up sounds, so the audio is not super helpful to determine what is ahead.

I generally enjoy difficult games, but I found this to be quite frustrating. Difficult for me and difficult for you are not the same, so it would have been nice to have some difficulty slider to make it accessible to a broader audience. I'm happy to play a game on baby mode to learn and then ramp it up.

Making a hit mistake (e.g. not making a turn) is way too punishing. They add way too much visuals on top of an already busy screen making it way more likely that you take another hit almost immediately. I found myself going from a perfect run to dead way too quickly. By the time I made it through some sections, I noticed I had basically put it into short term memory.
