I have my share of Rhythm Games from osu! in PC to Cytus in Mobile and most of them found a way to make their game unique than the others and this game hits that spot. The music is great. It gives you an atmosphere that you are a true musician and that really helped with the immersion. The story is nice too since not all the new games that comes out has a good storyline that helps the gameplay hook you in. Graphics are also pleasing and it really helps the overall feel of the game. But, since the game is still in beta, it still has imperfections.

First, the tutorial. Don't get me wrong, the tutorial was very helpful but the pace of the dialogue was too fast you can't read what you're supposed to do, because of that I failed the tutorial stage horribly. I only got it when I tried the tutorial again and again until I found that you need to slide up and down on the left side of your screen so you can aline the circle and the flag. I hope you can make the dialogue in tutorial stage a little more slow or have it so only when we tap that the dialogue proceeds.

Next, and this one is probably the main issue, the game is hard to begin with. The fact that you need to accurately slide up and down while maintaining a good rhythm and tapping the right button for the note is a little bit hard and not all can keep up with it. Don't get me wrong, the first couple of songs are easy but as you progress, the difficulty skews hard and you can barely keep up since the notes are appearing more frequently. Call it skill issues but the fact that this is a mobile game and not a PC tells alot. The players for mobile mostly looks for something to past their time and only a handful wants it harded as possible. My suggestion is if its possible, have an arrow for up and down that automatically goes to the next note given that you input the correct Y axis button. I know it takes away the games identity as a whole, but the way it is now, the game can be very hard for someone who doesn't have any experience in rhythm games.

I hope that this game can improve more and I would love to play it again on its official release.

the gameplay is really different and I love new experiences in rhythm games, but I feel like this game has a lot to become better and a nice game to play. I know some korean so the lack of english was not an issue for me, but I was still confused when I went to play a song. first the tutorial started automatically when I went to pick a song which caught me off guard as I assumed I was already playing the song or the song I picked (the first one that shows) just happened to be the tutorial (which was not), and I believe it should be either started right before I have the option to explore the story/free play modes, or warn me that there is a tutorial available as soon the game starts. the tutorial does not mention that the white notes (I saw blue tap notes, a bigger blue tap note, red hold, yellow slide and pink flick) are double taps so when I encountered them in the song I was taken aback, sure I quickly learned how to hit them but it was still weird. also it's pretty hard to see the chart, maybe because I played without a tablet and thus the screen is significantly smaller, but I believe for a game to be enjoyable it should be at least a bit flexible on the matter. I think this game has lots of potential, but as of now it's not much entertaining. I'll be keeping an eye on this for sure, though! I hope in a few updates I'll be proved wrong

It has a potential to be a rhythm game although, the optimization needs a little work. The game crashes over time after some few taps or few songs but the story is interesting enough to keep me playing and the gameplay, yeah it still needs work.

The game is really good. The game reminds me of DJMax Technika and Cytus II. The artstyle of the game is good as well, and most importantly the tunes and music that you can play with is really great. This rhythm game on mobile is recommendable for rhythm game fanatics. Overall, the game is good. Tho, adding a setting feature for a higher frame rate will definitely improve the gaming experience..
