“No timer, no pressure: just enjoy listening to the music, and it even guides you to find your 'path' in each maze.”
“Very fun, especially if you're a fan of classical music.”
“Great puzzle game about music!”
“There are no timestamp landmarks on the board, so if you realize you screwed up and want to go back a few seconds in the song to correct your mistakes, you'll have to manually figure out which note on the board the note you're now hearing (from the song playback) corresponds to, which might take a while.”
“There doesn't seem to be any incentive not to listen to the entire song first since there's no score or anything for making it through a level using intuition instead of following along with the song.”
“It's a cute idea and I'd love for it to be a bit more engaging, but right now it's effectively just a maze that you can't see the walls of and it plays music as you go through.”
