Reviews
- Melody Mania is a nostalgic and enjoyable karaoke experience that brings people together, similar to its predecessor Ultrastar.
- The game has a promising development trajectory, with the ability to use Ultrastar tracks and a great song editor.
- It offers fun gameplay once a good library of songs is established, and it has features like isolating vocals that enhance the karaoke experience.
- Setting up a song directory on Linux can be frustrating, and the game lacks proper support for this platform.
- The user interface for song selection is not intuitive, making it slow and cumbersome to search or preview songs.
- There is a lack of online song libraries, and users without their own music collection may find the game less appealing.

The music aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with users noting challenges in setting up song directories, particularly on Linux, and a lack of an integrated song library. While the game can be enjoyable once a personal music library is established, the user interface for song selection is criticized for being unintuitive, and loading times can be lengthy with larger collections. However, the song editor is praised for its quality, enhancing the overall experience.
“You can find hundreds of songs online, or you can create your own.”
“Once you get a good library of songs loaded in, this is great fun.”
“Amazing song editor!”
“Insanely annoying trying to set up a song directory on Linux, but the app seems promising....”
“Will return game, song folders only seem to work when adding specific song folders (videos don't load properly!) Shame how a program derived from Ultrastar Play (which works on Linux!!) doesn't seem to support Linux.”
“If you are just getting this to use for karaoke and you don't have your own library of music, I wouldn't recommend this.”
