It's the first time I'm writing a "stay-away-from-this-*bad_word*" review here... but this game needs it like nothing else I've tried so far. I've bought it for 0,99€ thinking what the hell. The first levels were quite nice - nothing special and pretty far from what I expect from a "music game" at the same time, but still nice. Then I got bored. And then the final levels came. They are ridiculously hard - not challenging, just annoying and badly programmed. I found it impossible to finish the last one, but my masochistic mind told me to do it and get all the achievements. So I tried and I tried, and I tried, and I tried. And suddenly I had to thank the GREAT programmers of this FANTASTIC GAME because hey, you can pause the game and still link these damn notes! What a relief. What a joke. I finished the game and still got two achievements locked - "500 Notes", "250 Max". So I kept playing this "pause and link" game, making it my worst enemy... And then I found out the game is not sa...

Interesting, and probably worth $1.99 to play for a half hour, but it's not worth finishing.
I honestly regret buying this game, as both a fan of music and puzzle games I thought it would be perfect for me but it just fell short in all the wrong ways, the generated music rarely sounds worth the time, a lot of the time stages feel impossible to gain a lot out of dew to spawn times of colours being just that little bit off and though in theory the game is truely amazing there just feels like there is a missing element that could have made me want to continue playing it past the "meh" feeling I had after the first few stages.
You know, I've played this game two times, putting in just over 30 minutes. And I can honestly say I don't want to keep playing this game. It's just not very interesting. The game play loop is basically choose similar colors, and the first level is 2 colors and a wild. But there's no "pleasure" from making a chain. And there's a high (unchangable) difficulty. Can someone enjoy the game... maybe but there's SO many of these music games out there that this no longer is needed. Go grab Amplitude, or something like that, but I think it's safe to just ignore this one.
I think I got this from a bundle...at least I hope i did. It's basically just connect the same colored random dots before they hit the bottom. I was hoping I could use my own music with this, as I usually enjoy those kinds of games. Unfortunately this isn't the case. It uses an RNG tune with RNG bonuses/penalties mixed in with the blocks. And unfortunately you can't intentionally miss penalty blocks (such as speed up) as that counts as a hit against you. So 1 hit against you vs 20 hits from a poorly timed speed up. Which might not be so bad if you had time to actually look at blocks to see what they do. Most of the time though I'm just scrambling to connect whatever before it hits the bottom and then get the wonderful surprise of a block splitting at the bottom and giving me 2 penalities. :D The other problem is that the mouse curser is so tiny that if you don't get the connections perfect the first time, you don't have time to fix it and one or two mistakes is enough to keep you ...
This is not a music sequencer, it just plays random notes while the game looks pretty and is extremely boring. What were they thinking? It would make sense if it was anything like EVERY EXTEND, which by the way is *free* because that game at least isn't terrible This *is* terrible. Bought it for 1 EUR, regretted it.
There is some minimal music generation using this game, but mainly, you are playing a tetris-like game combined with color matching. The later levels get very difficult very fast. I wish it had a sandbox mode we could compose music in.

I would only suggest this game to people who like downtempo music. The gameplay is extremely slow until the very last 2-3 levels, and I pretty much passed every level on my first or second try. There's not that many stages at all, and there's pretty much no variation besides more dumb powerups that troll the hell out of you as you move along the game, but I can't really complain since I got this game for less than $2. Since the game has a horrible description, basically all you do is match sequences of colors and blow them up (your only buttons are mouse1 and mouse2), and basically gray coloured blocks are wildcards so you can match a lot of different chains! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The music is slow to the point where it wants to force you to go to sleep, although I guess if you enjoy minimalist downtempo music, then you would love to play this game. WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST WATCHING A GAMEPLAY VIDEO BEFORE BUYING, EVEN IF YOU ENJOY DOWNTEMPO MUSIC, BECAUSE THE GAMEPLAY IS NONEXISTANT A...
