The gameplay is characterized by unique mechanics such as score modifiers and special shapes, but overall, it suffers from poor design and lacks enjoyment. However, some players appreciate the smooth gameplay and lovely soundtrack, particularly during the beta phase.
“A rhythm music game with different gameplay.”
“Nice gameplay with a lovely soundtrack.”
“Played the beta and enjoyed it - smooth gameplay and a nice soundtrack!”
“There are additional game mechanics — score modifiers, special shapes that remove all nearby shapes, etc. None of them change the fact that the game just isn't very well designed and isn't fun to play.”
